Click here to read our Economic Forecast for October 2023


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

The Producer Price Index for final demand advanced 2.2% for the 12 months that ended in September 2023 (blue line on the graph below). My forecast is that inflation will continue to worsen for the rest of this year.

The meeting minutes for the Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes for September 19-20, 2023 show participant’s views [major concerns or comments listed below]:

… participants remarked that the finances of some households were coming under pressure amid high inflation and declining savings and that there had been an increasing reliance on credit to finance expenditures. In addition, tighter credit conditions, waning fiscal support for families, and a resumption of student loan payments were viewed by several participants as having the potential to weigh on the growth of consumption. 

… participants noted improved business conditions from an increased ability to hire and retain workers, better-functioning supply chains, or reduced input cost pressures. A few participants commented that their business contacts had reported difficulties passing on cost increases to customers. Several participants judged that, over coming quarters, business activity would be restrained by tighter financial conditions, such as higher interest rates and more constrained access to bank credit.

… Many participants commented that they expected that the autoworkers’ strike would, in the near term, result in a slowdown in production of motor vehicles and parts and possibly put upward pressure on automobile prices, but that these effects would be temporary. 

… Some participants observed that payroll growth remained strong but had slowed in recent months to a pace closer to that consistent with maintaining a constant unemployment rate over time. Most participants commented that the pace of nominal wage increases had moderated, and a few also mentioned that the wage premium for job switchers had come down. They noted, however, that nominal wages were still rising at rates above levels generally assessed to be consistent with the sustained achievement of the Committee’s 2 percent inflation objective, given current estimates of trend productivity growth.

… Several participants remarked that, despite the recent rise in energy prices, food and energy prices over the past year had contributed to a decline in overall inflation. … Participants observed that, notwithstanding recent favorable developments, inflation remained well above the Committee’s 2 percent longer-run objective and that elevated inflation was continuing to harm businesses and households—particularly low-income households. 

… Participants generally noted there was still a high degree of uncertainty surrounding the economic outlook. One new source of uncertainty was that associated with the autoworkers’ strike, and many participants observed that an intensification of the strike posed both an upside risk to inflation and a downside risk to activity. A majority of participants pointed to upside risks to inflation from rising energy prices that could undo some of the recent disinflation or to the risk that inflation would prove more persistent than expected. 

… A majority of participants judged that one more increase in the target federal funds rate at a future meeting would likely be appropriate, while some judged it likely that no further increases would be warranted. All participants agreed that the Committee was in a position to proceed carefully and that policy decisions at every meeting would continue to be based on the totality of incoming information and its implications for the economic outlook as well as the balance of risks.

… Several participants commented that, with the policy rate likely at or near its peak, the focus of monetary policy decisions and communications should shift from how high to raise the policy rate to how long to hold the policy rate at restrictive levels. 

… A vast majority of participants continued to judge the future path of the economy as highly uncertain. Many noted data volatility and potential data revisions, or the difficulty of estimating the neutral policy rate, as supporting the case for proceeding carefully in determining the extent of additional policy firming that may be appropriate.

New Process Makes Green Hydrogen And Graphene From Plastic

Rice University researchers have found a way to harvest hydrogen from plastic waste using a low-emissions method that generates graphene as a by-product, which could help offset production costs. Hydrogen is viewed as a promising alternative to fossil fuel, but the methods used to make it either generate too much carbon dioxide or are too expensive. Rice University researchers have found a way to harvest hydrogen from plastic waste using a low-emissions method that could more than pay for itself. Kevin Wyss, a Rice doctoral alumnus and lead author…

Azerbaijan And Iran Relations Warm As Tensions Ease

There are signs that tensions are abating in relations between Azerbaijan and Iran.  They come in the wake of Baku’s lightning offensive to take back Nagorno-Karabakh and the subsequent exodus of the region’s ethnic Armenian population. Iran officially welcomed the region’s return to Azerbaijan’s fold.  On October 7, Iran’s road and urban planning minister, Mehrdad Bazrpash, while on a visit to Azerbaijan, said that Azerbaijan’s embassy in Tehran could resume its work soon. “The Iranian side has asked for the quick restoration of the…

Sheffield: Oil Prices Will Spike If Iran Jumps Into Hamas-Israel Conflict

Pioneer Natural Resources CEO Scott Sheffield has warned that while oil prices have given up their brief rally following Hamas’ attack on Israel over the weekend, prices could soar significantly if Iran becomes directly involved in the conflict.  “If Iran enters the war, we’re going to see much higher oil prices, obviously,” Sheffield said Wednesday on CNBC’s Squawk Box.  After gaining more than $3.50 on Monday and closing at $88.15 on Monday, October 9, Brent crude prices have now fallen to $86.63 as…

Israel-Hamas Conflict Sends Shockwaves Through Steel Market

Via Metal Miner The fresh conflict between Israel and Hamas in Palestine has started to ring warning bells throughout supply chains for oil, steel, and various metals. Indeed, if prolonged, the conflict could adversely affect steel prices as well as many other commodities. Already under strain because of the more than year-old Russian invasion of Ukraine, this new conflict has raised concerns in India as well as among Turkish and Russian steel exporters. The President of the trade representative organization PHDCCI, Sanjeev Agarwal, said the conflict…

Putin Says OPEC+ Output Cuts ‘Likely’ To Continue Into 2024

Russian President Vladimir Putin told an energy conference in Moscow on Wednesday that Russia and Saudi Arabia would “most likely” extend output cuts into 2024 and warned that clashes in the Middle East could impact oil exports with higher shipping and insurance costs.  “I am sure that the coordination of the OPEC+ partners’ actions will continue,” Putin told the conference.  “This is important for the predictability of the oil market, and ultimately for the well-being of all mankind,” Putin added, noting that while Russia…

The Nuclear Microreactor Race Is Heating Up

During a wide-ranging interview with The Epoch Times, the leadership of Nano Nuclear Energy Inc. predicted they would win the race to commercialize a reactor small enough to fit in a shipping container. “By 2030, we’re pretty convinced we’ll be the first company to sell microreactors,” said Nano Nuclear CEO James Walker, a nuclear physicist who previously led the development of the Rolls-Royce Nuclear Chemical Plant. Nuclear microreactors are meant to be nimble, mobile sources of heat or up to 20 megawatts of electricity. Microreactors are utterly…

Venezuela’s Growing Dark Fleet Highlights Maduro’s Dependence On Iran

Venezuela is deploying a secret weapon to defeat strict U.S. sanctions aimed at blocking the OPEC member’s economically crucial crude oil exports, a dark fleet of tanker vessels using a range of strategies to conceal their location. Recently the dark fleet shipping Venezuela’s oil to key customers, mainly in Asia, grew significantly with the assistance of Russia and Iran. Indeed, from 2020 authoritarian Iran emerged as a key strategic ally that is propping up the autocratic Maduro regime. Tehran supplies Venezuela not only with a steady…

EIA: Population Growth Means High-Rising Energy Consumption

Thanks to global population growth, rising living standards and related increases in manufacturing from now until 2050, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) sees energy consumption growing faster than advancements in efficiency.  The EIA projects that global energy-related CO2 emissions will increase by 2050 as a result of this increased consumption.  “Non-fossil fuel-based resources, including nuclear and renewables, produce more energy through 2050, but in most of the IEO2023 cases we examined, that growth is not sufficient…

NATO Chief Warns Of Potential ‘Response’ To Sabotage Of Finland Pipeline

Finland and other Baltic countries are on high alert as a natural gas undersea pipeline leak was detected on Sunday from Finland to Estonia. EU officials already suspect the leak was caused by a ‘deliberate act of destruction,’ which fuels concerns about ‘Nordstream 2.0’ and Europe’s energy security ahead of the Northern Hemisphere winter.  On Wednesday, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg met with EU officials about the damage sustained on the 77-kilometer (48-mile) Balticconnector pipeline, first detected by one of the two pipeline operators,…

India’s Diesel Exports To Europe Soar To Record High

India’s diesel exports loading for Europe hit a record high in September amid open arbitrage for westbound shipments, Reuters reported on Wednesday, citing tanker-tracking data and analysts. Last month, diesel cargoes loading from India and bound for Europe averaged between 280,000 barrels per day (bpd) and 303,000 bpd – or roughly half of all Indian diesel shipments in September, according to vessel-tracking data by LSEG, Vortexa, and Kpler cited by Reuters. At the same time, Indian diesel shipments eastwards to Singapore slumped in…

NATO On Alert After Baltic Pipeline Incident

President Alar Karis says Estonia is demanding answers for damage to a Baltic Sea gas pipeline running to Finland that the Baltic nation’s defense minister said was the result of “quite heavy force” that could have been caused by “mechanical impact.” Finland said it had raised its preparedness level on October 11 after damage was discovered to the Balticconnector pipeline over the weekend as an investigation into the incident continues amid suspicions it was caused by outside interference. “We know that the cause is not…

U.S. Treasury: G7 Price Cap Has Significantly Reduced Russia’s Oil Income

The U.S.-led price cap on Russian oil exports has “significantly” cut revenues from oil sales for Russia, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Wednesday. The G7 price cap on Russian oil has “significantly reduced Russian revenue over the last 10 months while promoting stable energy markets,” Reuters quoted Yellen as saying at a news conference during the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank meetings in Morocco. The price cap of $60 per barrel of Russian crude oil set by the G7 and the EU says that Russian…

Days Of Low VIX Numbered As Financial Conditions Turn The Screw

Authored by Simon White, Bloomberg macro strategist,

The VIX, a measure of implied equity volatility, is biased much higher in the coming months as the lagged impact of tighter financial conditions increasingly ripple through the economy and markets. Also, the VIX curve has flattened over the last month, meaning there is less negative carry on long VIX positions.

From the vantage point of an equity investor, inter-day implied volatility has been remarkably subdued. While the MOVE (fixed-income vol) and the CVIX (FX vol) are both notably above where they were in late 2019, the VIX is barely higher than its level just prior to the beginning of the pandemic.

There are several reasons for this.

The narrowness of this year’s rally in the S&P has led to implied correlations dropping. Inter-day stock moves largely cancelling each other out will subdue volatility.

Further, investors’ preference for buying puts and sel …

US Sending Two Carrier Strike Groups To Mideast Region, Taps Qatar To Assist Hostage Mediation With Hamas

Update(1425ET): US National Security Council Coordinator John Kirby confirmed that the United States will be sending the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier to the Eastern Mediterranean, after it was already announced that the USS Gerald R. Ford would be deployed as part of “support” operations related to the Israel-Gaza conflict.

However, Kirby said that the Eisenhower will not be directly joining or escorting. Instead, the carrier will be in the region for availability if called upon. While in a press briefing Kirby tried to downplay the dual carrier deployment as somewhat routine or expected, they will certainly be on standby to potentially intervene if all hell continues breaking loose in the Middle East.

Kirby also confirmed that the US administration is in talks with Qatar as part of mediation efforts to free the hostages being held by Hamas. It’s believed there are Americans among the captives in …

FOMC Minutes Echo ‘Hawkish Tone’ From Meeting; Fed To “Proceed Carefully”

The Minutes echoed the hawkish tone of the statement and press conference:  “a majority” of Fed officials saw one more rate increase “would likely be appropriate”.

The Bloomberg Intelligence US interest-rate strategy team’s NLP model of the minutes showed the Fed was somewhat more dovish than at the July meeting, with the exponential moving average declining back to levels experienced for the June FOMC gathering.

“Overall, we didn’t see many surprises in the minutes,” BI Chief Interest Rate Strategist Ira Jersey says.

“With the model suggesting the Fed is neutral, another pause at the November meeting seems most likely unless tomorrow’s CPI data is shockingly high.”

Gaza Doctors Issue ‘SOS To Whole World’ As US Proposes Evacuation Corridor To Egypt

Doctors in Gaza have sent out an “SOS message” to the world, saying that after four straight nights of the biggest Israeli air campaign in years (or perhaps history), all civil services including electricity, fuel and water are suffering collapse.

Officials at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City have further claimed the Israelis are targeting first responders, as the death toll among Palestinians has soared passed 940, with at least 140 children among the dead. An estimated 263,000 Palestinians have been displaced thus far.

Israel has also revised its numbers, announcing the gruesome Hamas attack on Saturday into Sunday killed over 1,200 Israelis. Among these were at least 14 Americans and many other foreign citizens.
