The Government Accountability Office added unemployment insurance systems to its list of programs at high risk for fraud, waste, abuse and mismanagement. Though jobless claims have remained low, the office has said the pandemic exposed a variety of weaknesses in the system. China correspondent Jennifer Pak provides another update from Shanghai, where she has a little more freedom of movement. Hundreds of thousands of children have lost a parent or guardian to COVID-19, and that also comes with devastating financial consequences.

Kia ora,Welcome to Friday'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 Russia's invasion of Ukraine deepens, as does the resistance. The IMF is bolstering Ukraine's finances. The US is proving substantial aide too. Talk is surfacing on how Russia will be expected to make reparations when the conflict is over. Damage tops US$100 bln so far. Peace talks are non-starters so far.Elsewhere, US jobless claims rose last week to 218,000 claiming these benefits. That was marginally above what was expected even if these are back to pre-pandemic levels. There are now just over 1.9 mln people on jobless benefits and still close to 40 year lows.Going the other way, American consumer inflation is at a 40 year high. In February, the headline rate rose to 7.9% which was what analysts were anticipating. Core inflation, without food or energy, was up to 6.4%, also as expected, but showing how embedded inflation has become in the US. Rents were up +4.7% in the February year, clothing up +6.6%. Food was up 7.9%. But of course the main driver is fuel costs. Again, it is medical costs that lag, up only 2.5%. Despite all this, the flow-though of the Ukraine war came after this data release. March data will be shocking, no doubt. Equity markets fell on this data, which is a bit surprising given it was what was expected. The ECB announcement might have also contributed. But all this cements in a substantial Fed response next week, which markets assume they won't like.Later this morning we will get the US Federal Government budget out-turn for February and a small -$50 bln deficit is expected and at that level one of the smallest post-pandemic results. And perhaps an all-time low deficit for a February. The very much better management of the US economy is also showing up in their household balance sheets. Household net worth rose to more than US$150 tln in Q4-2021 with one of their biggest quarterly rises ever outside the pandemic recovery.Better, American home ownership rates are rising according to a new report, especially for middle-class families. Housing assets now exceeds US$50 tln , but it is American households exposure to the equity and bond markets that dominate, now at US$118 tln.Meanwhile in Japan, producer prices rose +9.3% year-on-year through to February 2022, the highest rise there in nearly 40 years.China's economy might be in the doldrums, but that is not because they aren't shoveling out more bank debt. In fact new yuan loans rose at an astonishing rate in January, almost ¥4 tln in January alone and well higher than what was expected. It was an all-time record and three times the December rise. It is a pity for them that it isn't having more of an effect on economic activity - or perhaps it is, helping them to just tread water. You wouldn't think that they could just keep doing this however, just to stop going backwards. Beijing is in meeting mode at present, so bravado is high. But they seem in some trouble economically.South Korea as a new president, a conservative who says he will be less conciliatory to China and North Korea (and presumably Japan with whom South Korea has many grievances).At the overnight ECB policy review they surprisingly speed up their asset purchase schedule for the coming months and signaling their APP could end in Q3-2022 if the medium-term inflation outlook doesn't weaken. Monthly net purchases will now scale back to €20 bln in June, a sharpish and unexpected pace. Equity markets dived on this news.The Turkish currency is falling again, weakened not only by the Ukraine war but by no change in their dopey monetary policies. And there is no respite for the Russian ruble still worth less than 1 NZc.Globally, there have been widespread moves to ease up on border controls, and that is expected to benefit passenger air travel. Prior to this trend, there were 'good' signs that this industry was moving out of its extreme hibernation with January passenger activity rising strongly on a year-on-year basis. Domestic markets in China and India are the only ones anywhere that now show no sharp recovery.The Ukraine war is making shipping costs more expensive, especially for bulk cargoes. But although is remains unusually expensive, at least the wheat price is off its highs. A pullback from unusual highs for rice, soybean and corn is underway too, even if it is small at this stage. The implications of these high grain prices on animal feed costs for non-pasture farmers is extreme.RBA's Governor Lowe may be the only one thinking he can be 'patient' and not move against inflation yet. The latest Melbourne Institute survey of inflation expectations has them up to 4.9% in one year, the highest for this survey since 2013, a survey that goes back to 1995. The UST 10yr yield opens today at 2.01% and another +9 bps rise from this time yesterday. It last touched 2.0% in July 2019 - on the way down. The price of gold starts today at US$1997/oz and down -US$4/oz from this time yesterday.And oil prices are sharply lower again today and down by -US$7.50/bbl. In the US they are now just under US$106.50/bbl. The international price is just under US$110.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar will open today a little firmer at just over 68.6 USc. Against the Australian dollar we are at 93.4 AUc which is slightly lower. Against the euro we +½c higher at 62.3 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 73.7 and +40 bps higher than this time yesterday.The bitcoin price is down sharply today, down -7.8% from this time yesterday to US$38,981. Yesterday's relief rally didn't last long. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been very high at +/- 4.9%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.And get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora.

It's been one week since federal pandemic unemployment benefits ended. In the days following, restaurants across Portland tell KATU News they saw a spike in people looking for work.The owner at Chef's Table said his team is seeing about 50% more applicants, but this comes at a time when there are still many jobs to fill."This is a welcome influx, but I think the people that are coming back in and applying again are going to find out, or know already, that there are massive job openings and we need this level of applications and candidates for a couple of months to fill up," Kurt Huffman said.Nate Tilden said in the last nine months, maybe two people walked in the door to drop off a resume. In the last week, that number jumped to about a dozen.Join your host Sean Reynolds, owner of Summit Properties NW, and Reynolds & Kline Appraisal as he takes a look at this developing topic.https://katu.com/news/local/restaurant-owners-in-portland-see-spike-in-applications-as-federal-jobless-benefits-end?utm_source=sfmc&utm_medium=email&sfmc_id=1107644&utm_guid=6fdc872c-0ef0-4eb1-a04c-6d79e97ea9d6&utm_campaign=Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/seattlerealestatepodcast)

Millions of Americans are losing jobless benefits because federal aid has expired. The Washington Post looks at the impact on them and the broader economy. Forty million people depend on the Colorado River for water. ProPublica investigates the role that overuse and climate change are playing in its depletion. American cities are trying to reverse a spike in violent crimes seen during the pandemic. Bloomberg CityLab breaks down new research that finds a connection between helping people repair their homes and reduced crime. The growth of remote work during the pandemic is helping drive the decline of physical business cards. BBC News reports on what’s replacing them.

Caleb Maupin, journalist and political analyst, joins us to wrap up the important stories for the week. President Biden's chief of staff says that the US may never recognize the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan. Also, we discuss Daesh-K (ISIS-K), China's overtures to Cuba, and Kamala Harris in Southeast Asia.Richard Wolff, professor of economics and host of "Democracy At Work" on YouTube, joins us to discuss the economic stories for the week. 7.5 million people have lost their unemployment benefits and the Supreme Court has stopped the eviction moratorium. Meanwhile, the US Congress is working to increase the military budget by at least 25 billion dollars.Ashley Shelton, founder, president and CEO of the Power Coalition, a non-partisan coalition of base-building community organizations committed to empowering people through voting, civic engagement and policy changes, and Morgan Shannon, director of strategic partnerships at the Power Coalition, join us to discuss climate change. The US is facing extreme weather once again as New York has been hit by two major storms and Hurricane Ida has ravaged the nation from Southwest to Northeast. Meanwhile, forest fires continue in California, and more severe storms are incubating in the Atlantic.Dr. Linwood Tauheed, associate professor of economics at the University of Missouri- Kansas City, and Niko House, political activist, independent journalist and podcaster, come together to discuss important news stories for the week. Sirhan Sirhan, the man who was convicted of killing Robert F. Kennedy, may soon be released from prison. Also, a former prosecutor is charged in connection with biased acts in the case of Ahmaud Arbery, millions of Americans face an economic disaster, and hate crimes are on the rise.Steve Poikonen, national organizer for Action4Assange and Jim Kavanagh, writer at thepolemicist.net & Counter Punch and the author of "The American Farce Unravels: Shreds of January 6th," come together to talk politics. Congress is out to increase the US military budget as poor Americans face an eviction apocalypse. Also, we discuss the Afghan drone strike that killed a family of 10, Julian Assange, Kamala Harris, and the US media's u-turn on Joe Biden.

Marvin Weinbaum, director for the Middle East Institute's Center for Pakistan and Afghanistan Studies, joins us to discuss Afghanistan. A US drone strike in Afghanistan aimed at Daesh-K (ISIS-K) has reportedly killed nine members of a family, including a two-year-old girl. Also, some of the deaths at the Kabul airport appear to be from US military members firing into the crowd, and President Biden enters the perilous last hours of the Afghanistan drama. Anthony Rogers-Wright, climate activist and director of environmental justice at New York Lawyers for the Public Internet, joins us to discuss Hurricane Ida. There is widespread devastation as Hurricane Ida makes landfall as a category four storm in Louisiana. Climate change activists argue that this is just one of many severe weather incidents that we will endure due to the failure of our leaders to address greenhouse gas emissions.Dr. Yolandra Hancock, board-certified pediatrician and obesity medicine specialist, joins us to discuss covid. A New York Times article argues that we have not had the proper level of discussion about covid policy. The article argues that we must clearly identify the goals of particular policies, and then we can get better buy-in from those who are asked to make lifestyle changes and sacrifices for the good of all. Scott Ritter, former UN weapon inspector in Iraq, joins us to discuss Iran. There are reports that President Biden made statements to the media that can easily be interpreted as potential military action towards Iran. Biden apparently said that if diplomacy fails he is "ready to turn to other options." Also, Iran is warning that they will not be deterred from providing fuel assistance to Lebanon. Laith Marouf, broadcaster and journalist based in Beirut, Lebanon, joins us to discuss Yemen and broader Middle East policy. The Houthi military has launched a ballistic missile strike on a Saudi base that has reportedly caused 40 deaths and 70 injuries. Also, many Gulf States are cautiously reacting to the reemergence of the Taliban as the primary political, social, and military force in Afghanistan.Mark Sleboda, Moscow-based international relations security analyst, joins us to discuss NATO. The US has reminded the Ukrainian President that his nation will not be admitted into NATO. Also, as NATO crashes and burns in Afghanistan, its obsolescence is becoming obvious, and observers are contemplating the next move for the fractured and broken alliance. Dan Kovalik, writer, author, and lawyer, joins us to discuss the Global South. Nino Pagliccia writes that the international community must be prepared for an attempted coup against the new President of Peru coming from the US empire. Also, President Xi of China has stated that China will walk together with Cuba in building socialism.Dr. Jack Rasmus, professor in economics and politics at St. Mary's College in California, joins us to discuss the economy. The United States is facing a pair of devastating economic hits within the next few weeks. Many are using the term "economic and social cliff" as 7.5 million people are about to lose jobless benefits on Labor Day, and up to 30 million people are facing homelessness due to the death of the temporary eviction moratorium.

In a few weeks, more than half of the fifty states will terminate the pandemic assistance unemployment benefits. What does this reveal about the current state of the economy?

The benefits expired in Alaska, Iowa, Mississippi and Missouri on Saturday. Will this drive more applicants to jobs that have remained unfilled? We speak with a couple of economists who explain how it’s more complicated than that. Plus, in a closely watched case, a federal judge has ruled that a health care company can order its employees to get COVID vaccinations. And, changing rules for tax-protected retirement accounts.

On Tuesday, Governor Larry Hogan became the 25th Republican Governor across the country to end federal enhanced pandemic benefits for people who are out of work. Some businesses are facing worker shortages, a problem the Governor described as critical, and he said that with jobs and vaccines now in good supply, the benefits are no longer needed. The decision affects about 150,000 Marylanders, who as of July 3rd will no longer receive $300 in addition to any state unemployment support they may qualify for. Benefits also end for self-employed workers and independent contractors.Reaction to the announcement from Maryland Democrats was quick, and strongly opposed. Democratic Senate President Bill Ferguson urged the Governor to reconsider, and leaders asked Attorney General Brian Frosh to look into legislative actions the General Assembly might take to overturn the Governor's decision. Joining Tom to discuss the Governor's move is Sen. Jim Rosapepe, a Democrat who represents parts of Prince George's and Anne Arundel Counties. And Sen. Justin Ready, who represents Carroll County in the General Assembly.   Senators Rosapepe and Ready join us on Zoom… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: If you’re fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, the US government says you no longer need to wear a face mask in most places. That’s great news for about one-third of the population, but everyone else still needs to hurry up and get the shot. Meanwhile, a new investigation reveals that Project Veritas ran a secret campaign to discredit Donald Trump’s imagined enemies inside the government. With the help of a former British spy, it even targeted FBI agents for hidden camera sting operations. And lastly, nearly two million Americans in sixteen Republican-ruled states are facing imminent cuts to their jobless benefits. This is what they consider good government: making people suffer for no good reason. THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: This cause for celebration comes from the Washington Post. Americans who are fully vaccinated can go without masks or physical distancing in most cases, even when they are indoors or in large groups, federal officials said yesterday. The announcement paves the way for a full reopening of society. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said, "We have all longed for this moment when we can get back to some sense of normalcy. Based on the continuing downward trajectory of cases, the scientific data on the performance of our vaccines and our understanding of how the virus spreads, that moment has come for those who are fully vaccinated." More than one hundred and fifty four million Americans have had at least one shot and one hundred and seventeen million are fully vaccinated, about thirty five percent of the population. The Post says Walensky cited a growing body of real-world evidence demonstrating the efficacy of the coronavirus vaccines. She noted the shots offer protection even against more contagious variants circulating in the United States. The relaxation of masking does not apply to airplanes, buses, trains and other public transportation, to healthcare settings, or where state or local restrictions still require them. Officials also noted that some business settings may require masks, especially since some workers remain unvaccinated. Walensky urged those who are immune-compromised to speak with their doctors before giving up their masks. For everyone else, enjoy feeling the air on your face. Hidden Camera Sting Targeted FBI This dive into conservative skullduggery comes from the New York Times. A network of conservative activists, aided by a British former spy, mounted a campaign during the Trump administration to discredit perceived enemies of Donald Trump inside the government, according to documents and people involved in the operations. The campaign included a planned sting operation against Trump’s national security adviser at the time, HR McMaster, and secret surveillance operations against FBI employees, aimed at exposing anti-Trump sentiment in the bureau’s ranks. The operations against the FBI, run by the conservative group Project Veritas, were conducted from a large home in the Georgetown section of Washington that rented for $10,000 per month. Female undercover operatives arranged dates with the FBI employees with the aim of secretly recording them making disparaging comments about Trump. Central to the effort, according to the Times, was Richard Seddon, a former undercover British spy. Seddon was recruited in 2016 by the security contractor Erik Prince to train Project Veritas operatives to infiltrate trade unions, Democratic congressional campaigns and other targets. The scheme against McMaster was one of the most brazen operations of the campaign. It involved a plan to hire a woman armed with a hidden camera to capture McMaster making inappropriate remarks that his opponents could use as leverage to get him ousted as national security adviser. He eventually resigned anyway to avoid being fired by Trump. Which suggests this Project Veritas campaign was yet another bottomless pit for conservative donors’ money. GOP States Slash Jobless Benefits Republican cruelty is also bottomless. The Washington Post reports that more than one point nine million Americans in Alabama, Mississippi and fourteen other Republican-led states are set to have their unemployment checks slashed starting in June, as GOP governors seek to restrict jobless assistance in an effort to force more people to return to work. The cuts are likely to fall hardest on roughly one point four million people who benefit from stimulus programs that Congress adopted at the height of the coronavirus pandemic, including one targeting those who either are self-employed or work on behalf of gig-economy companies such as Uber. Beginning next month, many of these workers are likely to receive no aid at all. According to the Post, the looming cliff reflects an emerging campaign on the part of GOP leaders to combat what they consider a national worker shortage. Arizona and Ohio became the latest states yesterday to announce plans to scale back benefits out of a belief that the federal payments have deterred people from returning to their old positions. The reality is more complicated. The slowdown in hiring may instead reflect workers’ concern about their safety and difficulty obtaining child care, or their trouble finding suitable positions in hard-hit industries on top of mounting frustration about wages they consider too low. That means the loss of unemployment benefits over the next month threatens to inflict new financial harm on those who say they’re already struggling. Our sympathy to all those affected in red states. AND NOW FOR SOME QUICKER QUICKIES: The Associated Press reports that Hamas sent a barrage of rockets into Israel yesterday as Israel pounded Gaza with more airstrikes and shells and called up nine thousand reservists who could be used to stage a ground invasion. And Reuters reports that individuals involved in the new eruption of Israeli-Palestinian bloodshed may be targeted by an International Criminal Court investigation now under way. War criminals beware. According to Bloomberg News, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo this week set an audacious new benchmark in her campaign to reduce car use: a ban on most vehicle traffic crossing the city center. The plan would stop through traffic from a large zone covering Paris’ core, to cut pollution and noise and free up more space for trees, bicycles and pedestrians. Très magnifique! USA Today reports that a Marine Corps officer was arrested yesterday and charged with assaulting police officers at the January 6 attack on the Capitol. Major Christopher Warnagiris, forty, of Woodbridge, Virginia, is the first service member on active duty charged for his role in the deadly riot. Semper Fuggedaboutit! The Washington Post reports that Joel Greenberg, a Florida politician who is central to the investigation into Representative Matt Gaetz for possible sex trafficking of a minor, signaled yesterday that he will plead guilty in his own federal case. It’s a a troubling development for the congressman as it suggests prosecutors have secured a potentially important witness against him. Too bad for Gaetz that Trump pardon fell through.

Lawmakers are taking up President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID relief plan this week, and this third round of support is expected to face hurdles. But what if additional federal unemployment benefits didn’t need congressional approval? On today’s show: Some policymakers want to make benefits an “automatic stabilizer,” meaning they would be tied to economic data, similar to how your tax rate is tied to your income. Plus, the impact of a $15 hourly minimum wage, mortgage rates creep up with talk of inflation and how your fitness tracker could detect COVID-19 before a test.

Kia ora,Welcome to Friday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the International edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news China is winning the trade wars, and handsomely.But first, new claims for jobless benefits rose sharply last week in the US as the pandemic continued to bite into the American economy. More than 1.15 mln people filed new claims last week, the first time since July they have exceeded 1 mln. Another 284,000 claims were filed for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, an emergency federal program for freelancers, part-time workers and others normally ineligible for state jobless benefits. (Seasonally adjusted levels reported elsewhere were lower.) That means there was a jump in the total of people on these programs to almost 5.9 mln. Until they get the pandemic under control, these unusually high levels of people out of work will remain a severe drag on their economy.The incoming Biden Administration apparently has a plan to tackle both the pandemic and economic challenges. It isn't cheap.But Trump isn't going without leaving hand grenades. In yet another toxic case of rule-making as the Trump Administration exits, they changed the rules to force banks to lend to gun manufacturers, oil drillers and other controversial industries that some have refused to do business with. They have also given federal banking licenses to technology firms, an amazing move given the Trump Administration has been protecting and easing up on banks during their term and fighting big tech. Burning friends and supporters is a signature Trump move.A few days ago we reported a good rise in Japanese machine tool orders. Today we can report that more general machinery orders in Japan rose in November too. It was only a small +1.5% rise from October but that was a better result than expected because a sizable fall was anticipated (-6.2%).Further West, the improving economic health of the Chinese economy is on display with their December international merchandise trade data. Their exports were up +18% and that was better than the +15% expected. Their imports were up +6.5% in December from a year ago and that too was more than the +5% expected. The result is a growing December trade surplus of +US$78.1 bln. For all of 2020 they booked a trade surplus of a massive +US$535 bln or +3.7% of their 2020 GDP. All this is a new record high.The politically sensitive trade result with the USA ended the year with a December surplus of fractionally under +US$30 bln, resulting in an annual surplus of +$317 bln. China seems to have managed to grow its surpluses with others at the end of the year more than the one with the Americans. But they run deficits with New Zealand and Australia still. Ours was a deficit for them of -US$6 bln in all of 2020 and for Australia it was -US$61 bln. China's iron ore imports rose +9.4% in December. They also ran a deficit with Japan (-$32 bln) and with Taiwan (-US$14 bln), also South Korea, Brazil and South Africa. But they run good sized surpluses with the EU and most ASEAN nations plus India. Clearly they run much bigger surpluses than deficits, so we are an outlier here but similar to other commodity suppliers. (Interestingly, their trade with Russia is only about half the level they do with Australia.)In Indonesia, retail sales dropped more than -16% in November from the same month last year, the biggest fall since May and coming on the heels of a -15% drop in October. This is a worrying sign for the world's fourth largest country by population.In Australia, Sydney's apartment rents fell -7.8% in 2020, with most of that (-5.1%) in Q4. Hardest hit were the central city, east, and inner west markets, with rents at 8 year lows. Rents on Sydney's lower north shore are the cheapest in 9 years.Wall Street is little-changed today, up by +0.2% in early afternoon trade.

Kia ora,Welcome to Friday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the International edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news economic events are overshadowed today even if the political direction is now very much clearer.The political news this morning is that there are now serious calls for the removal of the US President from office before he can do even more damage in the next two weeks.Elsewhere in the US, +922,000 more people filed for State jobless claims last week, the week straddling the New Year, taking the total to 5.4 mln and only a small rise, as many came to the expiry of their benefit entitlement. Although it might take some additional time, the new Congress is likely to raise the level of Federal support.The American trade deficit for both goods and services rose in November to -US$68.1 bln and far above the previous record set in October of -US$63.1 bln. Their goods deficit was a record high -US$86.1 bln for the month while the services surplus was a record low +$18.2 bln for the month. This makes the overall trade deficit -US$651 bln for the past year, or -3.1% of GDP. In 2019 that deficit was -US$577 bln or -2.6% of GDP.The politically sensitive merchandise trade deficit with China was -US$314 bln and a small improvement from the -US$347 bln in 2019.In the release of the minutes from the last US Federal Reserve Board meeting, they seem on track to let their asset growth rise be their primary support measure for "significant policy accommodation" but the US$120 bln/mth program isn't anything new. However, they are watching the faster spread of the pandemic which is making them nervous that the recent return to growth in the United States will stall, and hoping the vaccines will rescue them and not require more intervention. Vaccines were mentioned 17 times in these minutes.American vehicle sales come with a small uplift in December, but for the full year they total just 14.6 mln. This is -15% less than in 2019. Despite a second half recovery of sorts, that makes them a distant second to China who sold 25.3 mln in 2020, only -2% less than in 2019.Australia recorded a record trade surplus in November, all due to strong iron ore sales to China. But their export growth is slowing all the same.Australia also reported a very strong recovery in building consents in November, particularly for houses, and notably not for high-density dwellings.China is moving forward with its application to join the CPTPP, taking advantage of American weakness to join before the Biden Administration can change US policy on the matter.German factory orders for November surprised with relatively better data than expected, up +2.3% from October when a decline was expected, and +6.3% higher than a year ago.EU retail sales also surprised, but in this case, not in a good way. It was down -6.1% in November from October, and down -2.9% year-on-year. This is a very worrying trend revealing a fast loss of momentum.On the commodities front, copper prices are now at an 8 year high. Partly, this is due to the pandemic in South America curbing important production volumes as demand from China stays high. The pandemic affects supply as much as demand, sometimes more.Airfreight is another example. Global air freight markets in November showed freight volumes improving compared to October, but remain depressed compared to 2019. Capacity remains constrained from the loss of available belly cargo space, as passenger aircraft remain parked. Asia/Pacific volumes are down nearly -11% year-on-year. But the cost of air cargo is sky-high. The small recovery in passenger traffic was snubbed out in November and apart from domestic air travel in China, things remain very grim for this industry.Wall Street is up more than +1.3% in early afternoon trade, boosted by a much clearer sense of where the US is heading politically. Overnight, European markets rose about +0.5%. Yesterday, the very large Tokyo market rose a strong +1.6%, and Shanghai gained +0.5% but Hong Kong fell -0.7%. The ASX200 rose +1.6% yesterday while the NZX50 Capital Index rose +1.1% and cementing in some big gains to start the year.The latest global compilation of COVID-19 data is here. The global tally is rising faster, now at 87,434,000 and up +730,000 overnight.But the largest number of reported cases globally is still in the US, which rose +254,000 overnight for their tally to reach 21,880,000. The UST 10yr yield will start today up another +3 bps at just over 1.08%. The price of gold is up +US$7 in New York to be now at US$1,913/oz.Oil prices are little-changed today and still just under US$51/bbl in the US, while the international price is now just over US$54/bbl.And the Kiwi dollar has settled at 72.5 USc today. Against the Australian dollar we are also holding at 93.5 AUc. Against the euro we are still at 59.1 euro cents. That means our TWI-5 is at 73.7.The bitcoin price has powered higher yet again today, hitting a new all-time high of US$39,297 which is +13.5% above the level at this time yesterday. And in local currency, it has shot up well above the NZ$50,000 level to be at NZ$54,204. You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.And get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora.

Kia ora,Welcome to Friday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the International edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news rising house prices are becoming a signature global consequence of all the pandemic stimulus.But first in the US, new unemployment benefit claims for last week came in quite a bit lower than expected at +787,000 when +860,000 was anticipated. But qualifications of those on these benefits is expiring much faster now. Last week, -1,024,000 people fell off these state programs. True, some will have found jobs but most will have seen their qualification expire. This is the second consecutive week where the fall exceeded -1 mln people.Meanwhile, the American housing market is on a tear and to a 14 year high. Sales of existing homes in September rose +21% when compared to the same month a year ago, up 9.4% from August and much more than was expected (+5%). The median price rose to $311,800 (NZ$467,000) and that was up +15% in a year and an accelerating gain.And the Kansas City Fed regional factory survey reported rising activity, but their activity index is still -12 points lower than at this time last year. At the same time, the shifting of manufacturing jobs to Mexico is gathering pace under the new-NAFTA, and companies controlled by billionaire Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross are joining the trend out. This is clearer evidence a tariff war is a losing proposition.China has signaled that it is getting ready to ramp up investment outside the country now that foreign assets are less expensive due in part to the international situation, and part due to the appreciating yuan.Taiwan reported its September unemployment rate overnight and it was little-changed at a very low 3.8%.Hong Kong reported its inflation rate overnight and they revealed deflation at a surprisingly level of -2.2%. But that was due mainly to a waiver of rents for low income families as the Government there tries to keep a lid on social unrest.Regarding Malaysia, the local Goldman Sachs subsidiary has plead guilty in US court proceedings to its part in the 1MDB fraud committed with the previous Prime Minister. It has agreed to pay US$2.8 bln in penalties. That now adds up to about US$5 bln in penalties among many worldwide jurisdictions for these crimes. (The transaction that led to all this action netted Goldman about US$600 mln in fees.)Consumer confidence in the EU turned down again in October, no doubt due to the worsening prospects as their pandemic bites with renewed vigour. That is very noticeable in Germany but will be mirrored in most others.In Australia, mass uptake of rooftop solar (PV) systems coupled with changes in energy use due to the COVID-19 pandemic reduced national electricity demand in the third quarter of 2020. The Victorian lockdown was also a major factor. As a result, prices fell.Wall Street has started today with the S&P500 up +0.5% in early afternoon trade as there is more confidence their stimulus talks will amount to some action. Overnight European markets were flat. Yesterday, Shanghai ended its Wednesday session down -0.4%, Hong Kong ended up +0.1%, and the large Tokyo exchange was down -0.7%. The ASX200 ended down -0.3% while the NZX50 ended down -0.2%.The latest global compilation of COVID-19 data is here. The global tally is 41,397,000 and up a record +465,000 in one day. The largest number of reported cases globally are still in the US, which rose +77,000 in yesterday's update to 8,608,000. In Australia, there have now been 27,466 COVID-19 cases reported, and that is +22 more cases than we reported yesterday and new cases spread across the country. The UST 10yr yield is firmer again this morning by another +5 bps at just on 0.84%. The price of gold has fallen back from this time yesterday, down -US$22 and now at US$1902/oz.Oil prices are a little firmer today, now at just on US$40.50/bbl in the US, while the international price is now just under US$42.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar starts today unchanged at just over 66.7 USc. Against the Australian dollar we are nearly +½c firmer at 93.9 AUc. Against the euro we have risen to 56.5 euro cents. And that means our TWI-5 is up at 69.9.The bitcoin price is another +1.6% higher today than this time yesterday, now at US$13,052 in what is being described as a FOMO rally. You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.And get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora.

Kia ora,Welcome to Friday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the International edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news American jobless benefits are expiring at a fast rising pace.In the US, initial jobless claims rose by almost +1.2 mln last week, but that was a smaller gain than was expected. Still, there are now 16.1 mln people on these state benefits and that was -844,000 less in a week as benefit qualifications start expiring. This will be an accelerating trend from here on, and cause substantial social pressure. It is already getting desperate for millions.Meanwhile, Congress can't pass any extension because Republicans are blocking them. And States have run out of funding capacity.Things aren't getting better on the jobs front. Job cuts announced by US-based employers jumped in July to 263,000, the third-largest monthly total ever, bringing the total so far this year to 1.85 mln and three times the level for the same period in 2019.The New York Fed is reporting that total household debt shrank in Q2-202 for the first time since 2014. Overall it fell -US$34 bln, but it was the -US$76 bln drop in credit card balances that drove the contraction. Only a rise in mortgage debt limited the shrinkage. Americans now owe US$10.2 tln in housing debt and US$820 bln in credit card debt, and along with other types of debt (like student loans at US$1.3 tln and car loans at US$1.3 tln), they owe a total of US$14.3 tln in debt. That is over 77% of annual GDP, and up from under 76% in the same quarter a year ago as economic activity shrank. It is the first time this metric has risen since 2009.The central bank of China has criticised the low interest rate policies of its Western counterparts, saying these policies have not had the intended benefits and the spillover effects on the developing world are not positive.The Philippines is the latest Asian nation to report a sharp recession in Q2-2020. After a small but unusual fall in Q1, it has reported a -16% further fall in Q2.In Australia, the economic costs of Victorian pandemic outbreak are being felt everywhere, including for the Canberra budget. And in Melbourne, the big end of town has pressured the state government into a raft of restriction backdowns.On Wall Street today, the S&P500 is up +0.6% so far in afternoon trade and rising. No-one there is worried about the jobs situation although European markets were spooked by the situation and fell almost -1% on the implications. The latest global compilation of COVID-19 data is here. The global tally is 18,876,000 and that is up +267,000 since this time yesterday. Global deaths reported now exceed 709,000.A quarter of all reported cases globally are in the US, which is up +61,700 from this time yesterday to 4,999,700. US deaths are now just over 162,100 and a death rate of 490/mln (+4/mln). And the net number of people actively infected in the US rose overnight to 2,286,000, so still more infections than recoveries.In Australia, there have now been 19,862 COVID-19 cases reported, another 418 overnight, and still very much concentrated in Victoria.The UST 10yr yield is unchanged at 0.54%. The gold price is higher yet again today, up +US$21 to US$2061/oz and a new record high. At one point it reached US$2071/oz overnight trading. The silver price is up proportionately more, up +6.4% overnight.Oil prices are still stable today. They are now just on US$42/bbl in the US and the international price is now just on US$45/bbl.And the Kiwi dollar has firmed against the US currency and is now at 66.8 USc. Against the Australian dollar we are lower at 92.3 AUc. Against the euro we are down at 56.1 euro cents. That means our TWI-5 is now a little firmer at 69.6 but this is broadly where we were at a week ago..The bitcoin price is up another +1.6% today at US$11,856. And that is a 6.6% rise in a week.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.And get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora.
