Should the United States delist Chinese stocks? At first thought with all the craziness of the trade war it sounds like delisting all the Chinese companies from the American stock markets may be a good idea. It is important to know that there are 286 Chinese companies listed on major US stock exchanges. You'll recognize some of the names like Alibaba, Baidu and JD.com. It is estimated by analysts at Goldman Sachs that US institutional investors currently own about $830 billion worth of Chinese stocks. That is more than two times what the Chinese own of US stocks as that is estimated around $370 billion. But a quick sell off could bring down stock valuations and make it difficult to get out of many of these stocks on both sides. An important piece of information I brought up a couple years ago was the Accountable Act which came to be in 2020. This allows the Securities Exchange Commission to ban foreign companies from trading if American regulators are not allowed to inspect the auditors for three years in a row. I always worry about Chinese companies because of what I call government accounting. They are not held to the same accounting standards there and I believe companies may list financial statements based on what the government tells them. There have been some Chinese companies that delisted themselves rather than going through an audit. I think that tells you quite a bit. My feeling is we should not delist all the Chinese stocks that trade on American stock exchanges under what is known as ADRs, but be sure that the Chinese companies have the same transparency as American companies when it comes to their financial statements. If we can't get that transparency, then those companies should be delisted.    Jobs report shows more evidence the economy is in good shape US nonfarm payrolls grew by 177k in the month of April, which easily topped the estimate of 133k. Jobs remained robust in health care as the sector added 51k jobs in the month of April and employment in transportation and warehousing and financial activities was also strong as the groups added 29k and 14k jobs respectively in the month. Other categories like construction, manufacturing, leisure and hospitality, and retail trade saw little or no change in payrolls, while government declined by 9k jobs in the month. Government jobs are now down by 26k since January, but remember employees on paid leave or receiving ongoing severance pay are still counted as employed. This likely means we will continue to see losses accelerate in this category as the year continues. Negatives in the report included the fact that employment numbers were revised down by a total of 58k in the previous two months. Also, April's reading was lighter than March's reading of 185k, but considering the unemployment rate remains at 4.2%, I still see these jobs gains as impressive, especially with all the negativity that people have been discussing. With that said, I still do anticipate weaker numbers in terms of the payroll additions in future months, but if the unemployment rate remains low I don't see that as a problem. On the inflation front, we also got good news with average hourly earnings rising just 3.8%. I see this as a healthy increase that does not put pressure on inflation like when wages were growing over 5% in 2022.     Job openings look problematic on the surface In the March Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, job openings totaled 7.2 million. This was below February's reading of 7.5 million and the estimate, which also stood at 7.5 million. This is still not super concerning to me. We tend to forget how strong the labor market has been and while we continue to see a softening, there is plenty of room before I see cause for concern. Just for reference, job openings in 2019 averaged approximately 7.2 million, in 2018 they averaged approximately 6.8 million, and in 2017 they averaged approximately 6.2 million. Compare that to where we are today and that should give you more comfort. Another area I saw as positive in the report was the fact that quits totaled 3.3 million, which produced a quit rate of 2.1%. This is important because if people were truly concerned about a major slowdown and thought they would not be able to find work elsewhere, I don't believe they would be quitting their jobs. These quit numbers are still quite close to 2019 levels, which many considered as a very strong economy. That year quits averaged approximately 3.5 million and there was an average quit rate of about 2.3%. Also in the report, we saw layoffs remained quite low at 1.6 million. Back in 2019, layoffs averaged around 1.8 million per month. There is no doubt that uncertainty remains and that will have some impact on businesses and their hiring plans, but in terms of it pushing the economy into a major recession, since we are coming from such a healthy level, I just don't see that happening.   Are we in the middle of a recession? The first reading of Q1 GDP showed a decrease of 0.3%. A recession is generally defined as two consecutive quarters of declining GDP, so some may argue we are half way there. Let us not forget in 2022 we did see two consecutive quarters of declining GDP as Q1 declined 1.4% and Q2 showed an advance estimate that was down 0.9%. After further research the second quarter ended up seeing a total reversal and it is now reported to have actually grown by 0.3%. Even with the difficult start, that year ended with a 2.1% growth rate. We also can't forget that the National Bureau of Economy Research (NBER) makes the official call on recession and they use a broader set of indicators that led them not to declare a recession in 2022. I say all of this because I still believe even if we hit a technical recession, if employment remains strong, I don't believe we would have an “official” recession. I am still unsure that we will even see Q2 GDP decline and we could also see revisions to Q1 that lift it to a positive reading. I say this because if you look at the actual underlying numbers in the report, it is not nearly as bad as the headline decline. On the positive front, consumer spending actually grew 1.8% in the quarter as services showed a nice increase of 2.4%. Also, private domestic investment saw a surge of 21.9%, this was led by investments in equipment as they grew 22.5% in the quarter. You might be asking with numbers like these how did we see a negative GDP? To start, government spending fell 1.4% in the quarter. This was led by a decline of 5.1% in spending by the federal government. The group as a whole ended up subtracting 0.25% from the headline GDP number. While this was impactful, the real reason for the decline in GDP was trade. Companies were trying to get ahead of looming tariffs and imports surged 41.3%. This compared to an increase of just 1.8% for exports. The huge discrepancy caused the trade component of GDP to decrease the headline number by 4.83%! While the economy is no doubt digesting these trade conversations and the tariffs, I still believe the economy is in alright shape when you look at the underlying numbers. I did also want to mention more good news on inflation as the March headline PCE showed an increase of 2.3%, which compares to last month's reading of 2.7% and core PCE came in at just 2.6%, which was a nice decline from February's reading of 3.0%. I believe these numbers will likely increase with the tariffs, but underlying inflation looks to be quite healthy.   Financial Planning: Protecting Yourself from Home Title Theft Home title theft is a type of real estate fraud where someone illegally transfers the ownership of your home by forging your name on title documents.  This is often done using stolen personal information to file fraudulent deeds with the county recorder's office. Once the title appears to be in their name, the thief may try to take out loans against the property, sell it to an unsuspecting buyer, or use it in other schemes that could put your home and finances at risk. This crime can go undetected for months if property owners aren't actively monitoring their title.  Having a mortgage or HELOC on your house can make it more difficult for a thief to steal your title since the bank has a lien against the property, but it is still possible. There are private companies that charge monthly fees to alert you of changes to your home title, but they do not prevent the title from being stolen.  You can also purchase home title insurance that will help pay for legal fees if you have to go to court if your title is stolen.  Homeowners in San Diego County can access a free alternative called “Owner Alert”. Jordan Marks who is the San Diego County Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk was behind this, and it is a great benefit that all San Diego property owners should take advantage of.  This service works by notifying you by email whenever a document is recorded against your property, helping you catch potential fraud early.  Signing up is simple and can be done on the San Diego County Assessor's website. You just need your name, email address, and parcel number and it provides the same type of monitoring offered by paid services, making it unnecessary to spend money for peace of mind when this tool is already available for free.   Companies Discussed: Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc.

Source: zerohedge.com MF: Carbon Taxes Hurt The Poor; Also The IMF: We Need A Global Carbon Tax The IMF's “Chart of the Week” just dropped, promising a glimpse into how carbon taxes can be “less regressive”, “socially fair” and “economically efficient”. Citing a new research paper, the chart of the week comes from research findings that carbon taxes inordinately penalize the poors, “lower-income groups are affected disproportionately, because they spend a smaller share of their expenditure on products that benefit from exemptions than their higher-income counterparts.”     The paper is called Distributional Impacts of Heterogenous Carbon Prices in the EU and looked at European countries, however, the findings around the discrepancy apply anywhere – why? Carbon taxes aren't uniform across all countries, and aren't uniformly applied across all industries – and that leaves differentials and gaps that the IMF claims are being exploited by rich people to the exclusion of low income households. The solution? A global carbon tax. “Therefore, imposing uniform carbon prices both within and across countries would reduce carbon pricing regressivity on household expenditure in the EU”   Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1839776574784016495  18% of consumers believe that jobs are “hard to get," the largest share in 4 years.

Recent market volatility has made headlines, but our Global Chief Economist explains why the numbers aren't as dire as they seem.----- Transcript -----Seth Carpenter: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Seth Carpenter, Morgan Stanley's Global Chief Economist. Along with my colleagues, bringing you a variety of perspectives, today I'll be talking about central banks, the Bank of Japan, Federal Reserve, data and how it drove market volatility.It's Monday, August 12th at 10am in New York.You know, if life were a Greek tragedy, we might call it foreshadowing. But in reality, it was probably just an unfortunate coincidence. The BOJ's website temporarily went down when the policy announcement came out. As it turns out, expectations for the BOJ and the Fed drove the market last week. Going into the BOJ meeting consensus was for a September hike, but July was clearly in play.The market's initial reaction to the decision itself was relatively calm; but in the press conference following the decision, Governor Ueda surprised the markets by talking about future hikes. Some hiking was already priced in, and Ueda san's comments pushed the amount priced in up by another, call it 8 basis points, and it increased volatility.In the aftermath of that market volatility, Deputy Governor Yoshida shifted the narrative again, by stressing that the BOJ was attuned to market conditions and that there was no fundamental change in the BOJ's strategy. But this heightened attention on the BOJ's hiking cycle was a critical backdrop for the US non farm payrolls two days later.The market knew the BOJ would hike, and knew the Fed would cut, but Ueda san's tone and the downside surprise to payrolls ignited two separate but related market risks: A US growth slowdown and the yen carry trade.The Fed's July meeting was the same day as the BOJ decision, and Chair Powell guided markets to a September rate cut. Prior to July, the FOMC was much more focused on inflation after the upside surprises in the first quarter. But as inflation softened, the dual mandate came into a finer balance. The shift in focus to both growth and inflation was not missed by markets; and then payrolls at about 114, 000 in July. Well, that was far from disastrous; but because the print was a miss relative to expectations on the heel of a shift in that focus, the market reaction was outsized.Our baseline view remains a soft landing in the United States; and those details we discussed extensively in our monthly periodical. Now, markets usually trade inflections, but with this cycle, we have tried to stress that you have to look at not just changes, but also the level of the economy. Q2 GDP was at 2.6 per cent. Consumer spending grew at 2.3 per cent. And the three-month average for payrolls was at 170, 000 -- even after the disappointing July print.Those are not terribly frightening numbers. The unemployment rate at 4.3 per cent is still low for the United States. And 17 basis points of that two-tenths rise last month; well, that was an increase in labor force participation. That's hardly the stuff of a failing labor market.So, while these data are backward looking, they are far from recessionary. Markets will always be forward looking, of course; but the recent hard data cannot be ignored. We think the economy is on its way to a soft landing, but the market is on alert for any and all signs for more dramatic weakness.The data just don't indicate any accelerated deterioration in the economy, though. Our FX Strategy colleagues have long said that Fed cuts and BOJ hikes would lead to yen appreciation. But this recent move? It was rapid, to say the least. But if we think about it, the pair really has only come into rough alignment with the Morgan Stanley targets based on just interest rate differentials alone.We also want to stress the fundamentals here for the Bank of Japan as well. We retain our view for cautious rate hikes by the BOJ with the next one coming in January. That's not anything dramatic because over the whole forecast that means that real rates will stay negative all the way through the end of 2025.These themes -- the deterioration in the US growth situation and the appreciation of the yen -- they're not going away anytime soon. We're entering a few weeks of sparse US data, though, where second tier indicators like unemployment insurance claims, which are subject to lots of seasonality, and retail sales data, which tend to be volatile month to month and have had less correlation recently with aggregate spending, well, they're going to take center stage in the absence of other harder indicators.The normalization of inflation and rates in Japan will probably take years, not just months, to sort out. The pace of convergence between the Fed and the BOJ? It's going to continue to ebb and flow. But for now, and despite all the market volatility, we retain our outlook for both economies and both central banks. We see the economic fundamentals still in line with our baseline views.Thanks for listening.

Q2 GDP not as strong as the headline numbers show While Real Q2 GDP increased at a 2.8% annualized pace and easily topped the estimate of 2.1%, there were some likely one time impacts that lifted the numbers. The major outlier was the change in private inventories as it added 0.82% to the headline GDP number. As we discussed after Q1 GDP, private inventories negatively weighed on GDP during that quarter as it subtracted 0.42% from the headline number and led to a disappointing growth for Real GDP of 1.4%. Government also saw a nice boost as it grew 3.1% in Q2 and added 0.53% to the headline number. Even though the report may not be as strong as the headline shows, I still believe it was a good report. Personal consumption expenditures grew 2.3% in the quarter as spending on goods was up 2.5% and spending on services was up 2.2%. Spending was different when compared to Q1 considering in that report goods spending fell 2.3% and services spending rose 3.3%. Private investment was also strong in Q2 as it rose 8.4%. Although residential was down 1.4%, nonresidential investment was up 5.2%. Equipment was the strongest subcategory as it was up 11.6% and intellectual property products also saw good growth of 4.5%. Trade was the only component that subtracted from the headline number. The increase in imports of 6.9% more than offset the increase in exports of 2.0% and led to a subtraction of 0.72% from the headline number. I believe this GDP report is exactly what we needed to see for a potential soft landing. We are still seeing growth of around 2%, but it is slowing which should help reduce inflation in the coming months.    June PCE Inflation continues to normalize as the June personal consumption expenditures index (PCE) increased 2.5% from a year ago. Core PCE, which is the Fed's preferred measure showed an increase of 2.6%. Both numbers were in line with expectations and they provide more evidence that an interest rate cut should be heading our way as we exit the year. This report does put more pressure on the Fed to provide a signal for fed policy direction at next week's meeting. I don't think there will be a cut at that meeting, but the market appears to be hoping that they at least hint towards a cut in September.    Legal battle between Warner Bros. Discovery and NBA is set to begin The NBA announced deals with Disney, Comcast and Amazon for rights to games for 11 years starting in the fall of 2025. The deals totaled around $77 B with Disney paying around $2.6 B per year, Comcast paying around $2.5 B per year, and Amazon paying around $1.9 B per year. These deals also include the rights for WNBA games. The current rights that will expire next season were for 9 years and nearly $24 B. Disney will air more than 20 games per season on ABC and up to 60 games on ESPN. NBC will air 100 NBA games each season, including about 50 that will be exclusive to Peacock. NBC is returning as a partner with the NBA after losing rights in 2002. Amazon will offer 66 regular season games. This was a major disappointment for Warner Bros. considering Turner Sports has carried live NBA games for nearly 40 years. This spells more trouble for TNT and TBS as this was a major asset for these stations. The popular “Inside the NBA” show on TNT is also in question if Warner Bros. is unable to win back the rights. Warner Bros did acquire matching rights as part of the current deal, but the NBA rebuffed the bid and said, “Warner Bros. Discovery's most recent proposal did not match the terms of Amazon Prime Video's offer and, therefore, we have entered into a long-term arrangement with Amazon.” It will be interesting to see how this shakes out. The NBA doesn't believe Warner Bros. rights extend to an all-streaming package, which was carved out for Amazon. The last time these deals were made I can't see how streaming would have been addressed. For that reason, my early inclination would be that it would be hard for the NBA to deny Warner Bros. their matching rights.    The IRS and Inherited IRAs After 5 years, the IRS has finally come to a decision with inherited IRA withdrawals. The Secure Act in 2019 removed the ability for most retirement account beneficiaries to stretch distributions over their life expectancy and now requires them to fully deplete the account after 10 years. With tax-deferred accounts, this severely limits compounding growth and increases the income tax burden on these beneficiaries. The component that has been up for debate is whether those beneficiaries also have to take required distributions during each of those 10 years. So far, no distributions have been required and a few days ago the IRS confirmed that a distribution will not be required in 2024. However, beginning in 2025, beneficiaries who inherited a tax-deferred retirement account in 2020 or later from someone who was subject to RMDs (which will be most cases) must begin taking small required distributions of their own each year as well. This does not apply to beneficiaries who are spouses, minors, or disabled, and while inherited Roth IRAs are subject to the 10-year rule, they will not have annual required distributions. Keep in mind, if you inherited an IRA in 2020 and wait until 2025 to start distributions, you now only have 6 years left to deplete it because you are still bound by the 10-year rule. This means larger annual distributions and maybe higher tax brackets. So even though you don't have to start, that doesn't mean you should continue to wait or that you should only take the minimum amount required. Every beneficiary should have their own plan on how best to distribute the funds at the lowest tax rate which will be dependent on their own income level, retirement date, level of their own retirement assets, and the fact that tax rates could increase in 2026. This could mean accelerating or deferring inherited withdrawals so they occur when your own income is lower.   Companies Discussed: Bank of America (BAC), Dominos (DPZ) and UnitedHealth Group (UNH)

US futures are indicating a higher open. European equity markets are trading mixed, following Asian markets finished mixed on Friday. Market attention today is on the advance reading for Q2 GDP, which showed the economy growing at 2.8% q/q, well ahead of the consensus 1.9%. It indicates a healthy consumer and inflation moving in the right direction, which may prompt Fed Chair Powell to take a slightly more hawkish stance. Yen volatility continues, hitting its highest level against the dollar since early May, driven by a hawkish repricing of BOJ rates and a pickup in Fed easing expectations. BoE rate cut pricing is now more than 50% for August and fully priced for two moves of 25 bps by year-end.Companies Mentioned: JPMorgan Chase, Johnson & Johnson, GE Vernova

Market Analysis and Sector Performance on July 24th In this episode of Dividend Cafe, Brian Szytel analyzes the market performance for July 24th from West Palm Beach, Florida. The Dow closed 504 points lower, the S&P fell by 2.31%, and the NASDAQ dropped by 3.64%. Significant declines in Google and Tesla stocks driven by earnings misses led to the NASDAQ's poor performance. Despite the downturn, sectors such as energy, staples, utilities, and healthcare saw positive results. Interest rates slightly increased, with the 10-year yield up by three basis points. Brian discusses the yield curve changes and the economic indicators, including slight misses in new home sales and positive PMI report.

US equities finished higher in relatively quiet Monday trading, with the S&P and Nasdaq rebounding after last week's declines. Politics dominated the headlines following Biden's exit from the presidential race, though there was also skepticism about whether it provides a meaningful shift in the near-term election calculus. Flash US PMIs, new home sales, Q2 GDP, durable goods orders and PCE inflation are the notable releases for the week.

Macro Specialist James Brodie and Research Analyst Harry Nedeljkovic weigh in on the latest news in the presidential campaign, discussing who the Democratic Party will select as a replacement for Joe Biden as their candidate, who will likely be chosen as a running mate, how Donald Trump's could react, and subsequently how these critical decisions may affect markets.US June retail sales remain unchanged (0.0% m/m; est. -0.3%) while industrial production is up +0.6% m/m (est. +0.3%).

S&P futures are indicating a higher open, up +0.2%, as markets continue to process the political implications of the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Market's attention today is on the takeaways from China's Q2 GDP and June activity data, which highlight persistent weakness in domestic demand and the property market. The weaker-than-expected GDP has renewed doubts about the achievability of the government's annual GDP target of ~5%, leading to calls for stronger policy support. Companies Mentioned: KKR, Verizon, Match Group, Microsoft, Alphabet, Lineage Logistics

Former U.S. President Donald Trump survives an assassination attempt while speaking at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania ahead of his formal presidential nomination at the GOP convention in Milwaukee. President Joe Biden makes a televised address to the nation condemning the shooting, asking Americans to ‘cool down' political rhetoric. In China, Q2 GDP falls short of expectations slowing to 4.7 per cent amid lingering consumer demand weakness. Google parent Alphabet is reportedly in advanced talks to swoop for cyber security firm Wiz for approximately $23bn, which would be its largest ever acquisition.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

U.S. CPI was lower than expected, (-0.1% MoM, 3.0% YoY), while U.S. PPI came in higher than expected (U.S. June producer prices rise 2.6% Y/Y; EST. +2.3%).Chinese CPI was on the cusp of deflation again (CPI +0.2% YoY, PPI -0.8% YoY) and Chinese GDP and retail sales were weaker than expected (Q2 GDP 4.7% y/y estimated +5.1%).James and Harry dive into Chinese New Homes Index data which shows new home prices falling 4.5% YoY in June 2024, the most in 9 years. This data comes despite Beijing attempting to mitigate the impact of a prolonged property downturn and weak economic recovery.Off the back of Donald Trump's attempted assassination on the weekend, Harry discusses the impact the event is having and will have on U.S. swing states and why the event caused a Bitcoin rally.James Brodie's chart of the week is Gold, which is rallying and approaching $2,430.The key data releases this week are:Monday 15 July – Fed Chair Powell to speakTuesday 16 July – U.S. June retail salesThursday 18 July – Philly Fed manufacturing data

The US economy appears to be slowing down. Final Q1 GDP growth came in at just 1.4% and, as of this recording, Q2 GDP is currently estimated to be little better, at 1.5%. Retail sales for May, the most recent data we have, only grew at 0.1%. And unemployment is starting to tick up, too, rising last week to 4.1%. Now, none of these stats are particularly worrisome on their own. But together, are they signalling rockier economic times could like ahead? To find out, we have the good fortunate to talk today with Dr Anna Wong, Chief U.S. Economist for Bloomberg Economics. Prior to her current role, Anna also worked at the Federal Reserve Board, the White House Council of Economics Advisers, and the U.S. Treasury. WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

This is a narration of our weekly Rent and Operating Trends Report.The U.S. economy is starting to flash warning signs of a slowdown that many predicted would come sooner. Q2 GDP was revised downward last week to an annualized pace of 1.3%, 30 basis points below the first estimate in April and more than 200 basis points below the pace of growth from Q1. Key manufacturing indicators are also pointing to a slowdown in the U.S. Later this week we will get the May employment report which should give us a good indication of whether the weak report in April was an anomaly, or the beginning of a larger trend. Multifamily indicators were mixed last week, and mostly flat for the month of May. Traffic and leasing have remained unchanged for the past few weeks, and I believe we have seen the peak for both leading indicators this year at the national level. Rent growth and occupancy continue to improve as they dig out from the now two-year slumps. Explore our webpage for more insights and resources:https://bit.ly/Radix_Website

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/468UHnU This morning, we had a slew of economic data that moved markets modestly to the upside in stocks and bonds in a fairly positive trading day throughout the session. Q2 GDP revision was largely unchanged, jobless claims were better than expected, and Core PCE revision was also unchanged. Yields moved lower across the curve following the releases, which put some wind in the sails for most risk assets today. The inverted yield curve is slowly but surely becoming less so as longer rates rise, and is now half of what it was a month ago at 47 bps on 2/10's from over 100 bps. With short rates anchored closer to Fed Funds, why are longer rates moving higher? A combination of the Fed's QT, Japan's exit of Yield Curve control, US budget deficits and less Treasury demand from China on falling exports.

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/3sAjvX7 Futures looked like we were going to give a little back from the move higher the past three days until about 830AM EST when we got a slew of softer than expected economic data, and since bad news is the new good for markets, moved us back into positive territory on the day. Q2 GDP was revised a little lower, ADP Payroll came in weaker than expected, and the part that is actually good news (meaning not a number showing our economy quite as fast as we thought and less people are finding jobs), Core PCE came in lower than expected for Q2. After yesterdays softer job openings and then today, fed fund futures are slowly tilting back towards peak rates but we are still at 55% pause and 45% hike for Nov/Dec. A good amount of numbers below for you, and a better amount of walking through it all in the video podcast link. Links mentioned in this episode: TheDCToday.com DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

US equities were higher in fairly quiet Wednesday trading, ending just off session highs, with the Dow Jones, S&P500, and Nasdaq finishing up 11 bps, 38 bps, and 54 bps respectively. ADP private payrolls came in softer than expected for August. Q2 GDP was revised down on weaker inventory and trade contributions. August pending-home sales rose vs consensus for a monthly pullback. Apple confirmed September 12th as the date for the expected launch of its iPhone 15 models.

It finally happened (again). U.S. Government long term debt has been downgraded from AAA to AA+, meaning the ratings agency are at least suggesting some sort of default risk for U.S. Treasuries. In case you're thinking that it's a byproduct of aggressive interest rate hikes, Fitch cited poor governance, political polarization, and a spine chilling (my word choice) government deficit. On the bright side, AA+ bonds *historically* have a low chance of defaulting on coupon & principal payments; and our Q2 GDP growth did surpass expectations. I guess we'll just have to see how this plays out....

About the mess we're in: One thing is for sure, you can't blame libertarians. Q2 GDP came in positive. But other stats would make you wonder how that's possible? Are things lining up for a housing GLUT in a few years? And people flocking to digital money = a tragedy approaching.

Steve Forbes explains why the surprisingly good Q2 GDP number is no reason for celebration, why Fed Chair Jerome Powell is misreading the data to our collective detriment, and why the overall economic goals of the left are pulling us into a socialist mess.Steve Forbes shares his What's Ahead Spotlights each Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Is a soft landing possible? Following a busy macro week, we provide some key highlights, including takeaways from the FOMC meeting and press conference, Q2 GDP, along with readings on Consumer Confidence, Personal Income and Spending. Plus, a look at what's on the data calendar in the week ahead. Featured is Brian Rose, Senior Economist Americas, UBS Chief Investment Office.

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/4563eH1 As balanced as Jay Powell's comments were yesterday in the presser following the latest and potentially last 25 bps rate hike of 2023, markets opened in rally mode taking comfort in his ‘data dependency' rate path commitment over what could have been otherwise hawkish comments. We then got an entire slew of strong economic data around 830AM EST with durable goods orders, jobless claims, home sales, and most notably Q2 GDP coming in ahead of expectations that brought back the ole ‘good news is bad' jitters into markets and we reversed course. Bonds sold off across the curve, but more longer than short and the yield curve steepened to -92 bps in 2/10's. So, while stocks did put an end to a 13 day consecutive advance and the 10 YR is now flirting again with 4%, what we really saw was more support for the soft landing narrative and candidly, if this is what a recession looks like, I'll take it. All discussed in more depth in the video podcast below, as well as a twofer in Ask David today as an added bonus. Enjoy and reach out with questions.

Market sell-off this afternoon after the S&P ticked above 4600 points earlier. Peak Fed discussion remains a tailwind despite Powell leaving room for further hikes this year. A busy morning for U.S. economic data including Q2 GDP up +0.4pp to 2.4%, initial claims beating and continuing claims lowest since January. In earnings, Meta proved standout on strong engagement trends, new product monetization, and AI improvements. While Southwest Airlines drove industry weakness as analysts concerned that fuel and labor costs will add further margin pressure through year-end.

This is a narration of our weekly Rent and Operating Trends Report.Economists will be focused this week on monetary policy as well as the first release of Q2 GDP. The Fed will meet on Tuesday and Wednesday, and while most forecasters anticipate another 25-basis point increase in interest rates, expectations are mixed on whether or not the Federal Open Markets Committee will raise interest rates again after this week. The Committee raised the Fed Funds rate from 0% to 5.25% in just 14 months, but then paused their monetary tightening at their last meeting. Many key inflation indicators such as the Consumer Price Index and the Personal Consumption Expenditures Index have retreated meaningfully in recent weeks. The Employment-Cost Index will be released Friday and represents the most comprehensive measure of wage growth. Recent strength in the labor market is leading some economists to forecast higher wage growth, thus pushing the Fed to keep interest rates higher for longer. Explore our Research webpage for more insights and resources: https://bit.ly/RadixResearch

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/3Q15Bql Economic Front One of the economists I read every day who has been screaming non-stop for 18 months now that we are entering a recession sent a “reminder” email this morning that we are “still likely” to enter a recession. And maybe we are. First of all, broken clocks and all that stuff. But secondly, I think the question about if and when we enter a recession now misses the point. Short term, these people obviously don't know. Additionally, no one knows what it would mean to markets if we did. No one. But longer term, we don't need to know if there is a Q4 2023 or a Q1 2024 recession to know that we do face significant excessive indebtedness that matters for the next 10, 20, 30 years. I remain mystified by why these chicken littles can't focus on a long term reality we do know versus a short term reality we do not. Consumer confidence jumped to 72.6 from 64.4 last month in the latest University of Michigan Consumer Confidence survey. This is the highest since September of 2021. Current conditions and expectations were both higher. Two quick caveats: (a) I have always found consumer confidence to be worthless; (2) Pre-COVID it was at 101, so putting the index in perspective, it is ahead of expectations, ahead of recent prints, and yet well below prior level. China's Q2 GDP growth missed expectations, coming in at +6.3% year-over-year but slowing to just 0.8% from Q1's growth rate (which had been +2.2%(, which was a surprise. Retail sales are not huge, capex is muted (as their property sector stumbles), and youth unemployment is over 21%. Links mentioned in this episode: TheDCToday.com DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com
