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.And today we lead with news the Americans seem to be making a concerted effort to adopt a stagflation policy. The USD is falling toward a three year low, gold is rising again, as are US benchmark interest rates.But first, the week ahead will feature central bank rate decisions from Canada (expect a hold at 2.75%), the ECB (-25 bps to 2.15%) and India (-25 bps to 5.75%). And the week will end with the US non-farm payrolls report (+130,000 and extending the ho-hum trend).But the week will be dominated by factory and service sector PMIs, closely watched for the consequences of trade war activity. More damage came from the US over the weekend with the doubling of steel tariffs, from 25% to 50%. These are certain to make the US steel industry even less competitive globally, embedding higher producer costs for American factories and higher prices for its customers.We can see that from the latest ISM factory PMI for May, where a small contraction is now taking place, and the cost pressures are still very high. The final S&P/Markit May factory PMI recorded the most cost pressure since 2022, but a tiny expansion in this one.China released its official PMIs over the weekend, with the factory version contracting much less, and their services little-changed in a tiny expansion. Inflation pressures aren't evident here. The US trade pressure may be preventing China's economy from growing much but it isn't pushing it into a contraction. And so far, Beijing has resisted Trump's request for a phone call with Xi.And there were May PMIs out for Japan (contracting less), Canada,(holding a sharp contraction) Taiwan (contracting less), Korea (small contraction, but stable) Singapore (stable small contraction) and Australia (stable but expanding a bit less) on Monday. So this set isn't yet showing much change, but the trade war does seem to be embedding stagnation. Inflation doesn't seem to be much of a problem here, it is only the US that is getting them both.Stagnation without inflation does allow central banks to try a rate cut remedy - a remedy not available to the Americans.In China they are applying both monetary (lower rates) and fiscal policies (more spending) to stabilise their situation. Beijing is spending big to counter the downward pressure on its economy. As a result, the country's broad fiscal deficit expanded at its quickest clip since 2023 in the first four months of 2025, reaching a -¥2.7 tln (-NZ$630 bln) deficit in the period, almost 60% more than in the same period in 2024.They need all of that because it is pretty clear their real estate sector slump isn't anywhere near over yet, despite all the official help for it.We should also note that it is a holiday in China today, for Dragon Boat Festival.India reported Q1-2025 GDP outcomes, claiming a heady expansion of +7.4% from a year earlier, far better than the +6.7% expected and the +6.4% expansion in Q4-2024. This expansion was led by both the construction sector, and consumer spending.And Canada also reported an expanding economy in Q1-2025, gaining +0.5% in the quarter to be +2.2% higher for the year. Both these indicators of economic activity are better than analysts had expected. Of course these are only of historical interest because they pre-date the tariff-war actions of the US that started in April.Back in the US, the final University of Michigan consumer sentiment survey recovered its early month drop in the second half of the month, ending similar to the April level. The pause in the tariff war and the hope this would ease inflation pressures during the survey period was said to be behind the mood change. Still, this level is very pessimistic, -24% lower than year-ago levels.In Australia, job ad growth has turned into a decline, with the number of job ads dropping -1.2% in May from April, when they fell a downwardly revised -0.3%. Year on year they are down -5.7% although they remained +14% higher than pre-pandemic levels.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.46%, and up +6 bps from Friday. The price of gold will start today at US$3,375/oz, and up +US$86 from yesterday.Oil prices are up +US$2 in the US at just under US$63/bbl and the international Brent price is just under US$65/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now at 60.2 USc, a +50 bps rise from yesterday at this time. Against the Aussie we are up +20 bps at just on 92.9 AUc. Against the euro we are up +10 bps at 52.7 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 68.2 and up +30 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$104,272 and down -0.9% from yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just on +/-1.0%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston.

Job applications remain at historic highs, far outweighing the number of jobs being advertised. SEEK's revealed job ads dropped 2% in December and are down 22% on 2023. While the number of applications per ad also dropped 2%, they remain 32% higher than in 2023. Country Manager Rob Clark told Ryan Bridge that since June they've seen job ads decline by just 1%, but certainly at the start of 2024 they saw a pretty significant decline. He says the feeling is that we've hit the bottom and are bouncing along it, but they're not seeing a ton of green shoots at the moment.

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.And today we lead with news the week has started tentatively. But there was an eye-catching housing affordability proposal in Spain,But first, there were no real surprises in the latest survey of American inflation expectations. Consumers still see a 3% rate for the year ahead, more for food (+4.0%), less for petrol (+2.0%), but still high for rent (+5.5%). For three years ahead, expectations are for no relief, up from +2.6% to +3.0% per year.But more than expected, Chinese exports surged +10.7% in December from year-ago levels, much more than the market forecasts of +7.3% and accelerating from a +6.7% rise in November. Traders are clearly front-loading orders in anticipation of new aggressive tariffs from the incoming US administration. But Chinese exports to New Zealand were down -1.8% in the month, their imports from us down -7.9%.Chinese imports only rose +1.0%.China's new vehicle sales rose to 3.5 mln units in December, spurred by those taxpayer discounts to encourage spending. They were more than +10% higher in the month than the same month a year earlier. NEVs took a record 45% share of these latest sales. Traditionally, December is their peak sales month of the calendar year.India's CPI inflation rate eased from +5.5% in November to +5.2% in December. Food prices, which account for nearly half on their survey, rose +8.4%. If there is good news among this data it is that prices fell in December from November.Meanwhile, the Indian currency fell to more than 86.7 rupee to the USD. At the start of the year it was 'only' 85.5 so that is -1.4% in two weeks. At the start of 2024 it was at 83 so -4.3% since then. (Still, that is nothing like the -10.4% fall by the NZD against the USD since the start of 2024.)In Australia, the Melbourne Institute's Monthly Inflation Gauge rose by +0.6% in December 2024, sharply accelerating from a +0.2% increase in November and marking the highest level since December 2023. It was also the fourth consecutive month of gain.The ANZ-Indeed Australian Job Ads survey rose by +0.3% in December from November, swinging from a revised -1.8% drop in the prior month. The latest level suggests their labour market is still resilient on a short-term basis despite elevated interest rates. On an annual basis however, job ads dropped -12.5% from December 2023. They have dropped almost -28% from their peak in 2022.In Europe, Spain like many others is facing a housing crisis. They fear a "rich owner / poor tenant" split that is developing elsewhere. Their government has twelve measures proposed to deal with the issue, one of which is a 100% tax on non-EU house buyers.And for the record, the coal price fell further overnight. Oddly, demand is up in China, but so is output - more so - and they have fast-building inventories.The UST 10yr yield is now at just on 4.77%, and up just +1 bp from this time yesterday. The price of gold will start today at US$2665/oz and down -US$25 from yesterday.Oil prices are up +US$2 from yesterday at just over US$78.50/bbl in the US while the international Brent price is now just over US$81.The Kiwi dollar starts today just on 55.5 USc and down -10 bps from this time yesterday. Against the Aussie we are down -20 bps at 90.2 AUc. Against the euro we are up +10 bps at 54.4 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just over 66.6 and down less than -10 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$92,068 and down -3.0% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been high at +/- 3.5%.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.

Kia ora,Welcome to Thursday'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 long term interest rates are rising and have much further to go.But first, American private businesses added +122,000 workers to their payrolls in December, the least in four months, compared to 146,000 in November, according to the precursor ADP Employment Report. That was below forecasts of +140,000. Hiring slowed in several industries and employment in manufacturing shrank for the third straight month. Employment growth was strong among large businesses in the West. Pay gains slowed slightly but are actually quite high, up +4.6% for those who stay in a job, up +7.1% for those who change jobs.Meanwhile, initial jobless claims rose on the expected seasonal basis to 305,000 last week, but much less than those seasonal factors would have indicated. 2.175 mln people are on these jobless benefits now, almost exactly the same level as a year ago. (On a headline, seasonally-adjusted basis, initial claims 'fell', and by more than expected.)Also falling were American mortgage applications, the fourth straight weekly retreat. Their benchmark 30 year fixed home loan rate almost touched 7% last week, deterring potential borrowers. Until the Trump risk goes out of long term benchmark rates, this is going to be a problem for the American housing market - and in fact all real estate transactions and other asset purchases that are valued based in yield.And those rising yields are now extending to very long-dated maturities. The US Treasury 30 year bond auction today came in with a yield of 4.87%, up from the 4.48% at the prior equivalent event just a month ago. The auction was well supported, but less to than that earlier one.The rise in longer term bond yields and interest rates is a global one. At its core is a demographic shift and ageing populations. But the Trump return has focused investors on the long term risks and they are back demanding a premium for that. Companies are also issuing more longer term debt, so there is a supply element to the trend. The Biden Treasury tended to prioritise shorter maturities in its fund raising, but the incoming Trump Treasury has already signaled it will go long. That will add to the supply pressure, and will spill out internationally. Pity American homeowners with 30 year mortgages.In China, they are getting more proactive ahead of the expected Trump Tariffs, and reactive about their stuttering economy. They announced an expanded set of taxpayer subsidies for a wider range of consumer products, hoping to spur sluggish consumer spending. They have expanded the eight-category subsidy program to now twelve categories, now including dishwashers, rice cookers and microwaves, which will get a 20% discount from existing sales prices.Overall, it is a program that has grown to NZ$2.8 bln, and still expanding.In fact, this announcement was part of a much wider stimulus effort. They are battling consumer anxiety, a tougher challenge than the previous democratic yearnings.Meanwhile, China is aggressively defending the yuan. It has held the official rate to the USD fixed since early November at 7.19. It last had a fixed peg in 2008-2010. Unfortunately for them offshore trading has it now at 7.35 and depreciating.In the EU, producer prices rose +1.7% in November from October, the biggest monthly rise since September 2022. A seasonal rise in energy costs was the cause. Year on year, the EU PPI was -1.1% lower.And staying in the EU, economic sentiment which had been stable for most of 2024, fell in December. Not a huge dip, but a notable one.In Australia, their monthly CPI indicator rose +2.3% in November from a year ago, after a +2.1% rise in the prior two months. Analysts estimates were for a +2.2% rise and the November since August, partly due to the timing of government electricity rebates. Most households received a single rebate payment instead of two in November. Still, the latest inflation level has remained within the central bank's target range of 2 to 3% for the 4th month in a row.And in maybe something of a surprise, there were 344,000 job vacancies in November in Australia, up by +14,000 from August. That is up by +4.2% and was was the first rise since May 2022, when job vacancies reached their historical peak. However, year-on-year the declines is almost -10%.In New Zealand we got the benefit of strong commodity price gains in 2024. ANZ reports that overall commodity prices finished 2024 up 15% from a year ago. All sectors except forestry achieved gains during the year but the largest were made by dairy (+19%) and meat (+23%). However, these sectors were more subdued in the December month. In NZD the rises were even more impressive, up +29% for dairy and up +35% for meat, year on year.The UST 10yr yield is now at just on 4.68%, and little-changed from yesterday.The price of gold will start today at US$2669/oz and up +US$18 from this time yesterday.Oil prices are down -50 USc from this time yesterday at just on US$73.50/bbl in the US while the international Brent price is at just under US$76.50.The Kiwi dollar starts today still at 56.1 USc and down -40 bps from this time yesterday. Against the Aussie we are down -10 bps to 90.3 AUc. Against the euro we are up +20 bps at 54.4 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 66.9 and down -20 bps from this time yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$94,646 and down -3.2% from this time on yesterday.

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.

There's hope that employment numbers could be a sign of economic growth. Seek job ads are up 3% for the month, with retail and government jobs increasing. Seek Country Manager Rob Clark told Mike Hosking there's still an overall downward trend, but it's promising. He says after five months of declining ads, it shows people are getting ready for more spending, with retail, hospitality, and tourism, gearing up for the summer period.

The balance of power in the labour market sits firmly with employers, with a big rise in job applicants over the past year chasing a significantly diminished number of jobs, says Frog Recruitment Managing Director Shannon Barlow."For our recruitment agency, we're probably experiencing around three to four times the volume of applications compared with last year. And that's across the board, across different industries and job types," Barlow says in the latest episode of interest.co.nz's Of Interest podcast."At the extremes, it can be even more than that. So for some business support [roles], other industries like supply chain or operational roles where we were happy to get, say, 30 applications, we'd be celebrating last year. Now those can reach up to nearly 300 applications and that's within a week. So you have to pull the ad so that you've got the time to get through all those applications.""I'd say with the higher volumes of applications as well, I think the biggest factor isn't actually about there being more people looking for work...the big factor is there are less jobs available. So there's less than half the number of job postings in the market today compared with 2022," says Barlow.Her comments come ahead of the June quarter labour market data from Statistics NZ, due out of Wednesday, August 7 and expected to show an increase in unemployment.Barlow previously appeared on the Of Interest podcast in August 2022 at a time when the border had just fully reopened following its closure due to Covid-19, and the balance of power in the labour market was firmly in favour of job seekers, or workers.Since then there has been a massive surge of inward migration, which hit a record high for a calendar year of 126,000 in 2023, according to Statistics NZ. Despite this Barlow says it hasn't solved skill shortages."The problem is that quantity doesn't always equal quality. There've been problems with the new accredited employer programme and the new government is still working through changes to those immigration settings. So we haven't got it quite right yet. So although we've refilled the talent pool, we haven't necessarily attracted the right people to be able to cover our areas of skill shortages;" says Barlow."Plus we might have had record migration, but we've also had record numbers of Kiwis leaving New Zealand this year."Statistics NZ's latest figures show a net loss of 2,000 people due to migration during May.In the podcast audio Barlow also talks about the regions were job seekers are really feeling the pinch, and regions where job listings are actually increasing, how and why some workers are having to take pay cuts, how the labour market has got harder for graduate or entry level roles, what the biggest challenge is for employers now, lingering effects of Covid-19 including attitudes and expectations for working from home, whether she thinks the jobs market has bottomed out yet, and more.*You can find all episodes of the Of Interest podcast here.
The latest BNZ-SEEK employment report shows an eight percent drop in the number of job ads on the Seek website in June compared to May, which itself was down on the previous month. Seek's country manager Rob Clark spoke to Corin Dann.
Recruitment site SEEK says job ads have fallen in the past month across most sectors and in virtually all regions. According to its latest Employment Report, monthly job ads dropped five percent between April and May, and are thirty percent down on the same time in 2023. Welllington is particularly hard hit, with a 40 percent drop compared to May last year. Seek country manager Rob Clark spoke to Corin Dann.

A mixed bag in the latest Seek NZ Employment Report. August's data shows a 2% month-on-month rise in job ads, the first increase since March. That's 4% higher than August 2019, but 26% lower than a year ago. But Country Manager, Rob Clark, says comparisons to last year is dangerous as it saw levels likely never to be seen again. He says that's why the data's also compared to pre-pandemic levels, to see if things have normalised, which is what it would be described as currently. Clark says a dip in job ads is usually seen pre-general elections, but not in this case. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The number of job ads are down 26 percent compared to last year, according to the latest SEEK employment report. At the same time demand for jobs on offer is at the highest level on record. Applications per job ad increased by 11 percent in the last month alone. SEEK NZ's country manager Rob Clark spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
Job ads listed on Seek have fallen for a fourth consecutive month. Its July report shows ad numbers fell four percent month-on-month and are just one percent higher than July 2019 - while applications rose 11 percent. The decline has been driven by weakening demand in manufacturing, transport and logistics, information and communication technology and trades. Country manager Rob Clark says the falling trend is the same across the country. He says Hawke's Bay was the one exception - which remained relatively flat, likely because of the continuous rebuild after Cyclone Gabrielle.

New rules have come into effect that may change the way some small businesses undertake recruitment. It's now illegal to advertise jobs that pay below the minimum wage — or award — for every job. It will particularly have an impact on any business that employs workers on piece rates. While the Chair of the Council of Small Business Organisations Australia, Matthew Addison, says it is a good thing, he says many business owners and managers should seek advice to ensure they are not now breaking the law.
