Kia ora,Welcome to Wednesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news US tariff threats are shifting from being aimed at trading 'partners' to a focus on commodities, today especially copper. Protection of favoured US business interests is the goal, cloaked in the labels of 'national security'.But first up today, the overnight dairy Pulse auction delivered less change than expected, essentially holding on to the SMP and WMP prices at the prior week's full auction. But in the meantime the NZD has retreated so both delivered good gains in NZD, up +1.1% for SMP and up +3.1% for WMP.The US retail impulse as measured by the Redbook survey delivered a very good +5.9% gain over the same week a year ago, but it should be noted that earlier base week was an unusual down one.And the New York Fed's national survey of consumer inflation expectations returned to a 'normal' 3% in June, and a five month low. But some components remain a worry. Those surveyed thing food prices will rise 5.5%, rents will rise +9.1% and medical care by +9.3%Meanwhile the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index for June was little changed at it long run levelThe popular US Treasury three year bond auction delivered unchanged demand and little-change on the median yields achieved. Today that came in at 3.84%, whereas the equivalent event a month ago was at 3.92%.US consumer debt grew a very modest +US$5 bln in May, half the expansion in April and well below the average for the past year. The slowdown was very acute for revolving debt, like credit cards.In Canada, the widely-watched local PMI turned positive in June following two toughish months.In Germany, both exports and imports were expected to decline in May from April, and they did, but by slightly more than was expected. But both remain higher than year ago levels.In Australia, the widely watched NAB business sentiment survey picked up and that was a much better outcome than the contraction expected. In fact this June result for business conditions broke the mould of the long-running decline that started in June 2022.That survey didn't point to anything special in terms of cost pressures. But those cost pressures clearly worried the RBA when it surprised financial markets with its no-change decision yesterday. The widely-expected rate cut didn't happen and so household budgets will have to wait for more relief. The RBA did pick up the resilience in the overall economy, but judged it too early to respond to perceptions of economic weaknesses. In fact they saw the balance of risks from trade and labour market cost activity not requiring a boost from a cut in interest rates.We should note that US tariff uncertainty is screwing around with some key commodity prices, especially copper, which has soared over the past day or so to over US$12,000/tonne and easily a new record high. Some US futures contracts are now up over US$13,000/tonne. US products that use copper are going to get a cost jolt. Because it is a jolt directly related to a new US tariff-tax, it won't affect products made outside the US.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.42%, and up another +3 bps from yesterday.The price of gold will start today at US$3,306/oz, and down -US$25 from yesterday.American oil prices are up another +US$1 at just under US$68.50/bbl while the international Brent price is now just under US$70.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now just on 60 USc, little-changed from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are down -50 bps at 91.9 AUc. Against the euro we are down -10 bps at 51.2 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 67.6 and -10 bps lower from yesterday at this time.The bitcoin price starts today at US$109,015 and up +1.0% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been moderate at just on +/-2.3%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.
A friend of ours opened a new business last week. It was a soft opening and will be full steam ahead by the school holidays. So far he is going gangbusters. There's a lot of local support and it looks like a good news story. He is however, if you believe the headlines that have been supplied by his industry association, in very dark and difficult days. They don't look difficult at his place. The GDP figures came out as we were away on the long weekend - up 0.8% for Q1. The Reserve Bank thought it would be 0.4%. Most banks thought it would be 0.7%. The reality was better than everyone thought. Nick Tuffley, the ASB's head man on economics, also on Thursday told us he still had growth in the second quarter just gone, April, May and June. He had us 0.3-0.4% up. Other commentary last week from manufacturing and services said we had hit a brick wall. If Nick is right there is no brick wall, the same way Q1 was not 0.4%, it was 0.8%. The point is this: is it possible we are in such a funk we don't want to see reality? You know what else I read? Australia, the repository of so many disillusioned New Zealanders, is now losing more people than it has since Covid. A mass exodus is on. People are bailing out of Australia, healthcare is chronically bad, you can't get seen, the Government is sinking in debt, house prices have spiked past an average of a million everywhere, there are more people than ever since records began and people are working multiple jobs just to make ends meet. This is Australia, the golden answer for the miserable Kiwi looking for better. Maybe better is here? Maybe in a turbulent, troubled world the Land of the Long White Cloud is actually coming right and people like our mate and his new business sees it. And a lot of what's in front of us is attitude. Is there trouble in some areas? Yes. Are there issues still unresolved? Yes. But do we have growth and prospect? Yes. Do the numbers back that up? Indeed they do! Maybe the grass is in fact nice and just as green here. You just got to want to see it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Catherine shares her journey from the fashion industry to becoming a financial literacy advocate for creative entrepreneurs, offering invaluable insights on building a solid financial foundation for your business.Catherine emphasizes that financial literacy is simply learning a new language. She emphasizes there's no need to feel shame about not understanding financial terms but to show up with the same curiosity as when you're learning a new language. The key is to push through the initial discomfort and realize that this knowledge is attainable and can fundamentally change your business and life.TOPICS COVERED: Identifying a problem your product or service solvesUnderstanding why you're the right person to bring this solution to marketThe importance of finding the right financial professionals who make you feel respected and supportedHow to overcome the initial resistance to learning about financesThe value of asking questions and seeking clarity from your accountant or bookkeeperGuest Info:Catherine's InstagramCatherine's Website The Small Business Planner Get in Touch:Benshen.co WebsiteBenshen MembershipBenshen.co InstagramRate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or on your favorite podcast platform.

A short, sweet but very special (400th) episode this week. See, I debated putting together a big montage of past show clips, but in the end I decieded to share an intimate moment from behind the scenes at the recent Pet Boarding and Daycare Expo... You'll hear two inspiring stories from AJ and Lynnie, staff member and owner of Positively Perfect in Montana, who reflect on how a single conversation from last year sparked a powerful mindset shift around pricing and confidence. AJ explains how she's already planning to implement seasonal marketing strategies to simplify upsells and boost sales, while Lynnie shares how recognising her own confidence issues was a huge sticking point - but ultimately became the realisation that turned her business around. In this episode, you'll discover: Confidence is a Business Strategy – Why mindset isn't optional if you want to raise prices and grow with purpose. Pricing with Purpose – Lynnie's story shows how you can honour your value without apology. Staff That Sell – AJ's enthusiasm and initiative prove what's possible with the right team behind you. Simplify to Amplify – A simple seasonal upsell menu can boost sales and reduce decision fatigue. One Conversation Can Change Everything – How the right challenge, at the right time, can transform your whole approach.

House prices are set to rise as businesses report less confidence With two further cuts expected to the OCR, ANZ is now expecting a 4.5% lift as opposed to 6%. Business confidence has also taken a tumble, with just 49% expecting improvements in the year ahead – down 9 points. ANZ Chief Economist Sharon Zollner told Mike Hosking the data was taken amid tariffs hitting the markets, impacting business confidence, investment, and employment. She says there may be a hint of a knee-jerk reaction that may not last, but only time will tell. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand's gross domestic product (GDP) rose 0.7% in the December 2024 quarter, following a 1.1% decrease in the September 2024 quarter, according to figures released by Stats NZ today.

Inflation has shown signs of stabilization, with a modest rise in the Consumer Price Index, but consumer confidence is wavering. Recent data indicates a concerning decline in the U.S. consumer outlook, with a significant drop in the sentiment index across various demographics. Despite inflation easing, expectations for future inflation have surged, leading to a cautious approach from the Federal Reserve. This economic uncertainty is influencing IT spending decisions, as businesses prioritize demonstrating ROI and cost efficiency in their technology investments.Small business owners, however, are exhibiting a surprising level of optimism, with surveys indicating high confidence levels despite the chaotic political landscape. Many entrepreneurs are increasingly relying on artificial intelligence to enhance productivity, with a notable percentage planning to adopt AI tools to save time. Yet, challenges remain, such as work-life balance issues and financial concerns, which continue to affect their overall well-being. The disconnect between optimism and actual spending behavior suggests that while small business owners may feel resilient, they are hesitant to make new investments.In the realm of technology, Kaseya has expanded its AI-powered cybersecurity offerings, aiming to enhance customer efficiency and profitability. The company has introduced several new features designed to strengthen security postures against cyber threats. Meanwhile, Zoom and Google are also making significant strides in AI productivity tools, with Zoom launching new features for meeting management and Google transitioning to its new AI platform, Gemini. However, the success of these innovations hinges on whether businesses will embrace these tools and whether they can deliver measurable efficiency gains.The podcast emphasizes the importance of understanding the current economic climate and its impact on IT providers. As businesses navigate uncertainty, there is a growing need for technology solutions that genuinely reduce workload and enhance efficiency. IT providers are encouraged to lead with education and strategy, helping businesses bridge the gap between AI potential and practical execution. The evolving landscape presents both challenges and opportunities for IT service providers, who must adapt to meet the changing demands of their customers.

Adam Cox is joined by Thea Watson from Bright HR. They discuss a new report carried out by Bright HR, all about business confidence. What did it find? Well, it shows how 68% of UK businesses who have embraced a technology strategy see growth as their number one objective for 2025.Shockingly though, over half of all survey respondents – many without a tech plan – say they are not expecting to grow in 2025 and more than a quarter are simply looking to survive.
When Labour entered power business lobbying groups were cheerleading the new government. Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce, Shevaun Haviland, turned skeptical in the wake of the budget as growth flatlined and we saw a dip in both consumer and business confidence. Bloomberg's Caroline Hepker and Stephen Carroll asked her if the Chancellor has won her, and her business members, back around.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The episode highlights a notable rise in small business optimism, with the National Federation of Independent Business reporting an optimism index of 105.1, the highest since October 2018. Despite this positive sentiment, challenges such as inflation and labor quality persist, with a significant percentage of business owners planning to raise compensation. The episode also touches on the impact of Donald Trump's presidency on channel partners, with many expecting positive outcomes from tariffs.Sobel delves into the ongoing shifts in the job market, particularly within the IT sector, where traditional roles are diminishing due to the rise of AI. The episode notes that while IT layoffs have slowed, the market has seen a contraction with nearly 71,000 jobs lost over two years. The World Economic Forum's report indicates that AI is creating new job opportunities, with a net gain of 2 million jobs expected by 2030. However, the episode warns of a decline in employee engagement, which has hit a 10-year low, emphasizing the importance of focusing on workforce development amidst these changes.The podcast also addresses the projected growth in worldwide IT spending, which is expected to rise to $5.61 trillion in 2025. However, Sobel cautions that much of this growth may be offset by price hikes, leading to a situation where customers may not see the benefits of increased spending. Key areas for investment include data center systems and software, with a significant uptick in AI usage among small and mid-sized businesses. The episode underscores the necessity for businesses to adapt and find ways to deliver more value to their customers despite rising costs.Finally, the episode covers recent regulatory changes, including President Trump's revocation of an AI safety order established by the previous administration. The FCC has introduced new cybersecurity rules, and FedRAMP is proposing to streamline requirements for cloud service providers. Sobel emphasizes the importance of staying informed about these regulatory shifts, as they will impact the tech landscape moving forward. The episode concludes with a reminder of the significance of understanding the evolving dynamics in the IT sector and the need for continuous learning and adaptation.
