Today’s Economic Releases Compiled by Steven Hansen, Publisher:

ADP National Employment Report from the ADP Research Institute shows private employers created 278,000 jobs in May 2023 and annual pay was up 6.5 percent year-over-year. Job growth is strong while pay growth continues to slow. But gains in private employment were fragmented last month, with leisure and hospitality, natural resources, and construction taking the lead whilst manufacturing and finance lost jobs. Strong employment gains will allow the Federal Reserve to continue to raise interest rates. Nela Richardson, ADP’s chief economist stated:

This is the second month we’ve seen a full percentage point decline in pay growth for job changers. Pay growth is slowing substantially, and wage-driven inflation may be less of a concern for the economy despite robust hiring.

According to NFIB’s monthly jobs report, 44% (seasonally adjusted) of all owners reported job openings they could not fill in the current period, down one point from April but still 20 points higher than the 49-year average reading. The percentage of owners reporting labor quality as their top small business operating problem remains elevated at 24% and 10% of owners reported labor costs as their single most important problem. NFIB Chief Economist Bill Dunkelberg stated:

The labor force participation rate remains below pre-COVID levels, which is contributing to the shortage of workers available to fill open positions. Small businesses have a record high level of job openings currently and are working hard to fill their open positions.

Construction spending during April 2023 was estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of  7.2% above April 2022. However, when the spending is adjusted for inflation – spending declined 3.4% year-over-year. This is a sign of a weak economy.

In the week ending May 27, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial unemployment claims 4-week moving average was 229,500, a decrease of 2,500 from the previous week’s revised average. The previous week’s average was revised up by 250 from 231,750 to 232,000.

Nonfarm business sector labor productivity decreased by 0.8% from the first quarter one year ago whilst labor costs increased by 3.8% in the same period. Whenever labor costs rise faster than productivity – it is not only inflationary but makes the country less competitive.

The seasonally adjusted S&P Global US Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index™ (PMI™) posted 48.4 in May, down from 50.2 in April, but broadly in line with the earlier released ‘flash’ estimate of 48.5. The latest figure indicated the fastest deterioration in operating conditions since February. Contributing to the latest overall decline was a renewed and solid fall in new orders at manufacturing firms in May. The decrease was the sharpest in three months. Lower new sales were often attributed to sufficient inventory levels at customers and previous hikes in selling prices which served to dampen demand conditions. F

The May Manufacturing PMI® registered 46.9%, 0.2 percentage point lower than the 47.1 percent recorded in April. Regarding the overall economy, this figure indicates a sixth month of contraction after a 30-month period of expansion.

U.S.-based employers announced 80,089 job cuts in May, a 20% increase from the 66,995 cuts announced one month prior. It is 287% higher than the 20,712 cuts announced in the same month in 2022. So far this year, companies have announced plans to cut 417,500 jobs, a 315% increase from the 100,694 cuts announced in the same period last year. It is the highest January-May total since 2020.

The Grid Needs A $20 Trillion Upgrade To Support Energy Transition

For the energy transition to happen, the world needs massive grid overhauls. This message has been overlooked for years as wind and solar stole the limelight, but now it’s back on the agenda. Because no transition from baseload, dispatchable power generation to distributed, intermittent generation is possible without a massive grid overhaul. Back in 2020, BloombergNEF estimated the cost of that overhaul at $14 trillion over the thirty years between 2020 and 2050. That’s how much it would cost to build the millions of miles…

South Africa Could Ease Blackouts By Burning Heavy Fuel Oil

South Africa’s chronic 10-hours-per-day blackouts could finally have a solution that won’t sit well with energy transitioners—burning heavy fuel oil. South Africa’s Electricity Minister, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, has announced that the country will start an emergency procurement program. The program will negotiate power purchase agreements and will last for five years. Some of the power will come from natural gas from Turkey’s Karpowership through an existing agreement. At least 1,200 MW of the 2,000 MW needed will be…

Five Niche Commodities Reflecting China’s Faltering Economic Rebound

China’s economic recovery from draconian zero-Covid controls is faltering. Investors had very high hopes earlier this year that the world’s second-largest economy would roar back to life and help offset weakness in the global economy. However, six months later, those same hopes have faded into disappointment.  One of the most immediate warning signs investors are losing faith in the recovery narrative is that the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index fell into bear market territory Tuesday, down about 20% from its Jan. 27 peak.  While equities…

Europe’s 11th Russian Sanctions Package Could Be Coming Soon

The next revision of Europe’s Russian sanctions could be coming as soon as next week, although the measures won’t be as strong as originally intended, people familiar with the negotiations told Reuters. The European Commission had plans to tighten up the loopholes in the existing sanctions and put out its proposal last month. The members of the coalition were expected to be signed off on sometime between May 19 and 21, but the proposal to beef up sanctions against Russia wasn’t without dissension, prompting additional negotiations…

Copper Prices Trounced By Falling Demand

By Stuart Burns via AGMetalminer.com At least that’s what the Financial Times reported Goldman Sachs saying this week with regard to the price of copper. The bank also revised its forecast for the average copper price to $8,698 per metric ton, down from $9,750. According to a NASDAQ post, copper prices touched a six-month low this week as speculators increased short positions. The move was in response to worries about recessionary trends in Europe and weakness in the Chinese manufacturing sector. Analysts do not currently expect…

WTI Screams Back Up Past $70 Despite Crude Inventory Builds

Crude oil prices turned around on Thursday, erasing most of the week’s earlier losses despite the latest EIA report that indicated crude oil inventories rose more than expected. WTI was sent back up above the $70 threshold to $70.96—a $2.87 (+4.22%) rise on the day. The Brent crude oil benchmark had risen $2.58 (3.55%) per barrel to $75.18. While it hasn’t erased all of the week’s losses, it has recouped more than half. This week has been a rollercoaster for crude oil prices, first sent spiraling downward at the beginning…

Chinese Government Encourages Tesla To Expand Business In Shanghai

Natural Gas Prices Plunge Further Amid Rise In U.S. Stockpiles

U.S. natural gas stockpiles gained 110 billion cubic feet for the week ended May 26, putting more downward pressure on prices, particularly as storage is now 557 billion cubic feet higher than at this time last year, and well above the five-year average. The increase in natural gas stockpiles was largely in line with analyst expectations, though slightly lower than the consensus estimate of 113 Bcf. Steady production and only modest demand continue to set natural gas prices up for further decline in the coming quarter, which will affect Q2 earnings…

Oil Jumps As EIA Reports Surprise Crude Build

Crude oil prices moved higher moments before the Energy Information Administration reported an inventory build of 4.5 million barrels for the week to May 26. At 459.7 million barrels, crude oil inventories in the U.S. are around 2% below the five-year average for this time of the year. Last week’s change compares with a substantial draw of 12.5 million barrels for the previous week, which caused prices to jump but only for a short while. This week, the American Petroleum Institute surprised markets with a large inventory build…

Iraq’s Crude Oil Exports Stay Flat As Kurdistan Saga Continues

Iraq, OPEC’s second-largest oil producer, exported on average 3.3 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil in May, flat compared to April, according to the Iraqi oil ministry. Iraq’s revenues from oil stood at $7.3 billion last month, as sales were made at an average of $71.30 per barrel, the ministry said in a statement carried by Reuters. Iraq is currently exporting oil only via its southern oil export terminals, with around 450,000 bpd of exports from the northern fields and from the semi-autonomous region of Kurdistan still shut in…

Qatar Signs Long-Term LNG Supply Deal With Bangladesh

QatarEnergy has signed an agreement to supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Bangladesh’s state firm PetroBangla for 15 years beginning in 2026, Saad al-Kaabi, chief executive at the Qatari state company said on Thursday. LNG buyers are looking for long-term supply to secure gas from Qatar’s massive expansion projects to insulate themselves from volatile spot prices.

Petrobras Looks To Grow Oil Production Outside Brazil

Brazilian state-held oil firm Petrobras is considering growing its oil reserves and production with projects abroad after a major drilling project at home was denied due to environmental concerns, Reuters reported on Thursday, quoting sources familiar with the company’s plans. Petrobras, which hasn’t made a large domestic discovery in more than a decade, could decide on a U-turn in its exploration policy and look to grow outside Brazil instead of focusing domestically and shrinking its foreign presence as it has done over the past decade.…

OPEC+ Unlikely To Announce Additional Oil Output Cuts

The OPEC+ group is not expected to announce another round of oil production cuts when ministers meet this weekend, OPEC+ sources told Reuters on Thursday. OPEC and its allies from several non-OPEC producers led by Russia are heading to the June 4 meeting amid market speculation whether the OPEC+ alliance will wrong-foot the short sellers again by announcing deeper oil production cuts. Oil prices have slumped to the low-$70s Brent in recent days, which analysts believe is not enough for Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern producers to balance…

Zelensky Miffed Over NATO Inaction, Demands Membership & Security Guarantees ‘Now’

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is letting his frustration and impatience over the question of entering the NATO military alliance be known. “Our future is in the European Union. Ukraine is also ready to be part of NATO. We are waiting for NATO to be ready to accept Ukraine,” he said Thursday to journalists just ahead of a summit of the European Political Community in Chisinau, Moldova.

At the summit, he demanded that Ukraine receive security guarantees “now” and emphasized the best way to ensure this is acceptance into NATO. But the idea of ‘security guarantees’ has also long been under discussion, with French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday having explained that the country could be give “something between the security provided to Israel and full-fledged membership.”

Planned Layoffs Are Up Fourfold So Far This Year

Companies announced a staggering 417,500 planned layoffs for the first five months of 2023. This is a massive acceleration and more than four times the job cuts compared to last year, according to Bloomberg, citing a report from outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

Disregarding early 2020, when Covid impacted the labor market, the total number of planned job cuts through May is the highest since 2009.

Challenger found most layoffs occurred in the tech industry, announcing 136,800 cuts for the first five months. That came close to eclipsing the full year of 2001 when the tech industry hemorrhaged 168,400.

Supreme Court Deals Blow To Unions, Rules Company Can Sue For Damage Caused By Strike

Authored by Matthew Vadum via The Epoch Times,

In an 8-1 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court on June 1 decided that a union’s deliberate destruction of company property as a pressure tactic in a labor dispute is not protected by federal law.

Labor activists have said that endangering and destroying company property during a dispute is fair game that has long been protected by the law, but companies like the petitioner in this case—Glacier Northwest a ready-mix concrete company headquartered in Seattle—pushed back.

Glacier Northwest does business as CalPortland.

The new ruling will allow companies to sue striking unions to hold them accountable for damage caused during labor actions.
