“Real disposable income is up, jobs are up…the numbers continue to be rock solid.” David Waddell thinks we're in the middle of an economic cycle and does not expect a recession in 2025. He thinks corporate profits will be up significantly based on Trump's proposed economic policies. He likes mid-caps because of the sector's concentration in industrials and materials. ======== Schwab Network ======== Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In this week's episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with Catherine Hausman, an associate professor at the University of Michigan, about the costs of not building new electricity transmission lines, particularly in the Midwestern United States. Hausman discusses the benefits of additional electricity transmission for consumer electricity prices, emissions reductions, and electrification of the economy; the companies that may gain or lose revenue if more transmission is built; and how companies that stand to lose revenue from more transmission are preventing the construction of new transmission.

Kia ora,Welcome to Tuesday'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.Today we lead with news the world's second largest economy may be seriously out of balance, with implications for everyone.With the US on holiday. the big global influences come from elsewhere today. First up, the private Caixin PMI for Chinese factories moved up from a minor contraction in July to a minor expansion in August. According to this survey, output growth accelerated amid an upturn in new orders and a stabilisation in employment. Meanwhile, price pressure eased and confidence hit a 3-month peak. All this was marginally better than the official factory PMI which recorded a slightly deeper contraction. The difference is that the Caixin survey is more about their private sector, the official PMUI more about their SOEs and the enterprises that dominate Chinese manufacturing.But despite this stable factory activity, their firms have been buying raw materials at a high rate, so consequently there is a huge buildup in inventories across a wide range of sectors. If the world doesn't take the surge in exports that would be necessary to justify this build-up, then the resulting pullback will have large-scale international consequences. There are plenty of signs this imbalance may end badly for everyone involved.And China's property woes are deepening, which is driving sharper equity market retreats. Falling prices aren't being stemmed, squeezing developers further and keeping house buyers away.Taiwan's August PMI only registered a modest expansion in the island nation, about the same as for China.Japan's August PMI showed neither an expansion nor contraction.South Korea's August data pointed to sustained and stronger increases in both output and new orders for their manufacturing sector amid growing signs of client confidence.India's August PMI registered softer increases in new business and output during August, albeit with rates of expansion remaining elevated by historic standards.In Australia, their factory sector is deteriorating at a faster rate, but there are some signs things may improve later in the year. Although new orders and production continued to fall, export orders picked up and along with it, confidence in the future. But they also report that cost pressures are not easing, which will worry the RBA.Australia is quite vulnerable to the Chinese economy's strugglesSo it will be no surprise that job ad levels continue to shrink in Australia. And that company profits seem to be diving.Meanwhile on the Australian property front, building consents jumped in July, especially for multi-unit developments although to be fair that is off a very low base, so it may not be significant.And CoreLogic said August house prices rose only modesty from July to be up +7% for the year. However all this rise was from Brisbane (+15%), Adelaide (+15%) and especially Perth (+24%). Without them, there would be no rises.The UST 10yr yield is now at just on 3.93% and up +2 bps from yesterday. The key 2-10 yield curve inversion has now disappeared, replaced by a positive +1 bp.The price of gold will start today down -US$4 from yesterday at US$2499/oz.Oil prices are little-changed from yesterday again, still just under US$73.50/bbl in the US while the international Brent price is still just over US$77/bbl.The Kiwi dollar starts today down -20 bps from yesterday at 62.3 USc. Against the Aussie we are sharply lower at 91.7 AUc. Against the euro we are also lower at 56.3 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at 70.2 and down -30 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$58,472 and back up +0.8% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just on +/- 1.4%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.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 tomorrow.

With the release of July's consumer price index this week, the Inside Economics team discusses the current state of U.S. inflation. As they dig into the underlying details, they debate what they see as root causes. Specifically – are corporations taking advantage of consumers by keeping prices higher than they should? If so, are recent policy proposals to address ‘price gouging' likely to be effective? Hosts: Mark Zandi – Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, Cris deRitis – Deputy Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, and Marisa DiNatale – Senior Director - Head of Global Forecasting, Moody's AnalyticsFollow Mark Zandi on 'X' @MarkZandi, Cris deRitis on LinkedIn, and Marisa DiNatale on LinkedIn

This week, Nick and Goldy are joined by Lindsay Owens, Executive Director of the Groundwork Collaborative, to discuss Groundwork's recent reports on corporate profiteering and price gouging during and after the pandemic. Owens attributes the record increases in corporate profits in the last few years to growing corporate concentration and lack of competition. She argues that these two factors gave companies an unprecedented level of market power, and therefore pricing power, which allowed them to exploit the supply chain crisis caused by COVID to drastically raise prices. Owens stresses the need for policy interventions to promote competition, transparency, and fair pricing in the market to ensure a more competitive and consumer-friendly economy. Lindsay Owens is the Executive Director of the Groundwork Collaborative, known for her expertise in economic policymaking and her work on exposing corporate profiteering in price increases. She leads the organization's mission to create a more equitable economy, providing media commentary and advising policymakers such as Senator Elizabeth Warren, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal.

NBC's Erin Real reports that corporations are making plenty of profit, but consumers are paying the price. Is this just how it works?

This week, we're taking a look at corporate greed. A recent survey from Navigator Research found that most Americans think greed is a “major cause” of inflation. But is that true? Deepak Puri, chief investment officer of Deutsche Bank Private Bank in the Americas, joins us to dig into this week's Corporate Profits report from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis to get some answers. Then we're turning to jobless claims. It's been four years since the Covid-19 pandemic led to business shutdowns across the country and a subsequent record 3.28 million unemployment filings. Valerie Wilson, director of the Economic Policy Institute on Race, Ethnicity, and the Economy, gives us her take on the state of the labor market. Plus, WSJ media reporter Alexandra Bruell discusses Buzzfeed's upcoming earnings report and how the company is faring since embracing AI last year. How can we better help you take on the week?

In this final session of our four-part series, we unpack the essence of a corporation's role in driving innovation and societal progress. We dissect the symbiotic relationship between profit-making and community investment, challenging the common narrative that equates corporate success with avarice. Our conversation covers the role of R&D, local economic enhancement, and the support systems that underpin modern-day families, all thanks to the engine of corporate contribution.Should you really be made at corporations for being profitable? Your investment accounts over the last several years have benefited from these profits. So, what is really going on? We take to expose the government's ability to raise revenue through taxation when you buy something, you are taxed. When you sell something, you are taxed. Any time money changes hands, you are taxed! Federal and State governments have an inate ability to make tremendous amounts of money through taxation which in the end cripples your ability to make money. So it begs the question, who is more greedy....corporations or government?! Stay tuned. We'll answer this and more! ______________________________________________________________Looking for additional content that can help you get the most from your life?

Chuck Zodda and Marc Fandetti discuss corporate profits coming back despite challenges including rising labor costs and high interest rates. US agencies broaden crackdown on 'junk fees'. Downsizing your home isn't the money move it used to be. Why is the state still letting places like Braintree kill the housing we desperately need? Winter is coming and Southwest swears this time it will be ready.

It's so hard to live as an authentic human being in a civilization whose every molecule is wrapped around something as vapid and soulless as corporate profits. It's what most of us pour most of our life force into. Most people work all day generating corporate profits to pay bills that go toward corporate profits and pay off loans from giant banks for their corporate profits or rent from real estate giants for their corporate profits. Then they come home, eat some products from giant megacorporations that they purchased at a supermarket chain, and unwind by watching entertainment created by corporations to draw as many eyeballs as possible or scrolling through social media platforms designed by corporations to be as addictive as possible. We do this while being surrounded all day by advertising designed to pull us into generating more corporate profits. Reading by Tim Foley.

From the BBC World Service: A raft of big European corporations have been reporting half-year figures. We drill into some of the numbers and find out why shares in some big banks are falling despite rising profits, how lower oil prices are affecting Shell, and the role cat food has played in Nestle's profits. Also on the program, Russia’s ambitions for Africa as President Putin hosts leaders for a summit. And, the battle to save a ship carrying 3,000 vehicles from sinking off the Dutch coast.

More than a decade ago, GMO strategist James Montier published a paper predicting that corporate profit margins were destined to come down from "nosebleed" levels. Fast forward to 2023, and it's clear that hasn't happened as profit margins remain far above their long-term average. On this episode of the Odd Lots podcast, Montier explains what he got wrong back in 2012, why corporate profits have remained so stubbornly high, and what this could mean for stock valuations now. He also discusses the ongoing debate over whether high corporate earnings are fueling inflation, as well as revisiting the work of economist Michael Kalecki.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
