As many of you know, there is no Fed meeting this month. As such, it would be reasonable to assume that we wouldn't have Lundy Wright on the podcast because he's the expert we turn to when it comes to analyzing the latest meeting. However, as you may have noticed, a recent spat of economic numbers has put a real question mark over the prospect of rate cuts any time soon. If not flipped, the script has certainly been ruffled. So, we asked Lundy to come on and provide his latest views on where things stand and what factors he's watching ahead of the March Fed meeting.

"Don't fight the Fed"

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.Today we lead with news investors are about to learn whether the maxim "don't fight the Fed" is still valid.Minutes from the March Fed meeting showed many officials would have preferred a +50 bps increase in their benchmark interest rate, instead of a +25 bps hike. Depending on economic and financial developments, they clearly want to move faster. These minutes also showed they are considering reducing their balance sheet by about -US$95 bln per month, a lot more than expected, and starting next month. 'Normalising' is now front and center, and is to quickly morph into inflation-fighting mode. The signal in these minutes is as clear as the stark one issued by Vice Chair Brainard yesterday.Now out of the Fed, one ex-official says they will be trying, intentionally, to inflict losses on both stock and bond investors, as part of their inflation-taming strategy.Housing investors, even homeowners, may face losses too. American mortgage applications extended their falls last week due to rapidly rising mortgage rates. That makes it drops in eight of the last nine weeks.As a side note, we should report that Mexico is turning out to be a serious winner as American companies re-jig their supply chains away from China, and Asia generally.There was another sharp fall recorded last week in trans-Pacific container shipping rates. They are far from normal (old normal) but they are heading in that direction now and have been for the past five weeks. Bulk cargo freight rates are declining too.Going the other way global air passenger traffic is rising again and the recovery is quite fast, especially international travel even if it is off a low base.And global air cargo traffic levels for February are stronger, even when compared to pre-pandemic 2019.However, all this data is a month old. March data suggests the Russian invasion of Ukraine has taken the top off global trade in March, down -2.8%. Of course, that is mostly an EU thing.But in China, their economic troubles are deepening. Their services PMI sunk sharply in March, according to the private Caixin survey. Unlike the 2020 one with was part of a short-sharp global retreat, they have this one on their own. Services activity fell at its quickest rate since February 2020 amid notable drop in sales. Input cost inflation picked up more than they expected. Business confidence dived to a 19-month low.We have previously noted the food supply problems in Shanghai that is under a hard lockdown. We should also note that growing numbers of Chinese farmers are required to isolate, jeopardising harvests in some areas. It is not major at the moment, but if it spreads, it could be.And it is pretty clear now that the long weekend Qingming/Ching Ming/Tomb Sweeping Festival holiday saw tourism activity fall at least -30% from normal as vast numbers of people stayed at home to avoid pandemic risks. This will have notable economic impacts.In Australia, regulator ASIC has extended its product intervention order imposing conditions on the issue and distribution of contracts for difference (CFDs) for a further five years to 23 May 2027. CFDs enable speculation, not investing, they say.And ASIC is being much more active in controlling crypto launches, including by the big banks. They clearly don't want a wild-west rush, one that seemed to have some momentum.The UST 10yr yield opens today at 2.61% and up +5 bps from this time yesterday. The price of gold starts today at US$1921/oz and virtually unchanged since this time yesterday.And oil prices are down sharply, down more than -US$4 to just over US$96/bbl in the US. And the international Brent price is now just over US$101/bbl.The Kiwi dollar will open -½c lower than at this time yesterday at 69.2 USc. Against the Australian dollar we are firmer at 92 AUc. Against the euro we are also softer at 63.5 euro cents but holding recent gains. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just over 74.8 which is an overnight -30 bps slip.The bitcoin price is down a sharpish -4.6% since this time yesterday now at US$43,883. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been high at +/- 3.1%.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 Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the International edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news that although the Russia-Ukraine headlines dominate the general news, the global economy is continuing its recovery, one which is supercharging commodity demand.Last week's American jobless claims rose marginally to 238,000 for the 7 days, taking the total number of people on these benefits to 1.975 mln and below pre-pandemic levels because more people found jobs or their benefits expired. The seasonally-adjusted level is near an all-time low.Labour shortages, cold weather and timber shortages have all meant that US housing starts fell in January, and that was not expected. But building permits rose and to their highest level since 2004. They want to build but supply chain issues are holding them back.The Philly Fed's wide-watched factory survey in the powerhouse Pennsylvania manufacturing heartland suggests the same supply-chain issues. Strong order levels eased a bit, but labour availability remains very tight. These firms now report that they are successfully passing on the higher costs they face.And we should note that although its growth has flattened out over the past month, the US Fed's balance sheet is still inching up, now almost at US$8.9 tln, essentially built up over the past two years to be 37% of annual US GDP. The March Fed meeting is expected to cap that, and start reducing it.Japan has reported some very encouraging machinery orders in December, up +5.1% year-on-year and +3.6% of that in December alone. This data confirms the strong machine tool order data we had earlier. They need their capital goods sector to fire because imports are rising sharply (especially oil).In China, their currency is appreciating against the USD, now at ¥6.33 to the greenback. But it still has some way to go to reach the ¥6.06 level it was at in 2013. Interestingly, the yuan is still only used in 2.3% of all international trade, although that is up from 2.1% two years ago. Of course, use of their currency in trade settlements is one thing; the real indicator is what the underlying transactions are priced in, and there the USD remains supreme.The aluminium price has powered to a new record high yesterday, US$3307/tonne (NZ$4935), up +18% since the start of the year.Australia added +13,000 new jobs in January when none were expected, but it actually isn't great news. That is because it lost -17,000 full time jobs and gained +30,000 part-time jobs. Their jobless rate stayed at 4.2%. The switch to part-time jobs helps explain that hours worked fell by almost -9% between December 2021 and January 2022. Rising sick leave is also being cited. But looking past the detail, it is clear that Omicron did not really affect their labour market that much in January, overall.The UST 10yr yield opens today at 1.98% and down -6 bps from this time yesterday. The price of gold starts today at US$1897/oz and up another +US$32 from this time yesterday. For the week so far, gold is up +3% and a 35 week high.And oil prices are down -US$3 to just on US$90/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price is just under US$91.50/bbl. The Kiwi dollar will open today ¼c firmer at 67 USc. Against the Australian dollar we up at 93.1 AUc. Against the euro we are firmer at 58.9 euro cents. That means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 71.3 and +20 bps firmer.The bitcoin price is down -3.4% since this time yesterday and now at US$42,114.
