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 the US-announced ceasefire with Iran is struggling to hold, with Iran accusing the US and Israel of violations, and Iran launching attacks (counter-attacks?) on Gulf state assets. Israel seems very uncommitted to the US claims. There are thousands of ships waiting to transit the Strait of Hormuz, but they must first pass Iran's new gatekeeper reviews. The oil price has fallen back but only to mid-March levels and still +50% higher than the levels that prevailed at the start of March. And this is doing nothing to restore deliveries of refined product. However, first in the US, the Federal Reserve released the minutes of its March 18 meeting, which exposed how isolated Steven Miran is on that committee. In fact, some members were open to rate hikes at that time. The vast majority of participants judged that upside risks to inflation and downside risks to employment were elevated, and the majority noted that these risks had increased with developments in the Middle East. They saw the conflict in the Middle East would likely lead to more persistent increases in energy prices and these higher input costs would be more likely to pass through to core inflation. Those risks are likely still there since their meeting given that crude oil prices had risen from US$63/bbl to US$95/bbl when they met, and are at that same level today. US mortgage applications stayed low last week, restrained by lower refi activity. Meanwhile, and in an odd move against the mood shift today, investors got higher risk premiums for the US Treasury 10 year bond auctioned today. The median yield came in at 4.23%, compared to the 4.16% at the prior equivalent event a month ago. In China, a surge in heavy truck sales, especially LNG and EV versions, is bolstering a view that 2026 will turn out positively for them. Some of this was just a rebound from a weak, holiday-affected February. But those truck sales were at a five year high in March. Taiwan's CPI inflation rate showed no reaction to the events in March at all, which does seem a bit unusual and an outlier result. There was an Indian central bank review of their monetary policy overnight, and they left their rate unchanged at 5.25%. In Europe, they reported February producer prices fell -2.7% from a year ago. But this is mainly due to the February 2025 base being unusually elevated. They also reported that EU retail sales volumes were up +1.7% in February from a year ago. The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.28%, down -7 bps from yesterday. The price of gold will start today up +US$64 at US$4740/oz. Silver is up +US$3 at US$75/oz. American oil prices are down -US$20 at just on US$95/bbl, while the international Brent price is down -US$15, also at just on US$95/bbl. The traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is moving again, but only for those that pay Iran's 'reconstruction tax'. The US has effectively shifted this waterway from being open and free, to an Iranian asset and chokepoint. The Kiwi dollar is up +120 bps from yesterday at this time at 58.3 USc. Against the Aussie we have risen +60 bps to 82.7 AUc. Against the euro we are up +70 bps at just on 49.9 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today up +100 bps from yesterday at just under 61.9. The bitcoin price starts today at US$71,919 and up +4.6% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been high at just on +/- 3.3%. You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz. Kia ora. I'm David Chaston and we'll do this again tomorrow.

Is U.S. manufacturing driving off a cliff or into the sunset—and taking the economy with it? Look no further than sales of heavy trucks. Trucking companies buy more of these big rigs when they expect they will have more stuff to ship, so declines in heavy truck sales often match up to economic contractions dating back to the 1960s. Now the data show that sales have been going downhill since 2023, falling off more dramatically since June of this year. Host Alex Ossola talks with Bob Tita, who covers manufacturing for The Wall Street Journal, and Avery Vise, vice president of trucking for data analysis and forecasting firm FTR Transportation Intelligence, about what that says about this moment in the economy, and what might be clouding the picture.

April 10, 2025 - State environmental regulators are delaying enforcement of rules promoting the sale of electric trucks and state lawmakers also want to pause the system. We consider the future of this environmental proposal with Ryan Gallentine, a managing director with the trade association Advanced Energy United.

Is the diesel truck on the brink of extinction?   Industry expert Tony Owen brings his extensive knowledge to discuss the monumental shift toward electric trucks in the pursuit of net-zero emissions.   As legislative deadlines loom, manufacturers like Volvo, Renault, and Scania are leading the charge with new electric models, while the pressure mounts to phase out diesel trucks. We scrutinise the scepticism surrounding these ambitious goals and explore the undeniable momentum driven by environmental imperatives.   The market's readiness for electric trucks, especially those under 26 tons, is under the microscope as we navigate the evolving landscape of truck manufacturing.   Tony  sheds light on the hurdles faced by dealerships clinging to diesel sales and the urgent need for educational initiatives to inform customers about the benefits and infrastructure of electric vehicles.   As infrastructure improves, the potential for electric trucks grows, but the shift in mindset among stakeholders presents its own challenges. Strategic conversations and proper training are essential for a smooth transition to electric fleets.   Sales professionals, take note: standing out in the shifting sands of the trucking industry requires more than just adapting to electric vehicles. Tony highlights the importance of continuous learning, firsthand experience, and building meaningful customer relationships.   By becoming trusted advisors and moving beyond transactional interactions, salespeople can carve out a niche for success.   This episode offers insights into navigating the dynamic world of electric truck sales, highlighting strategies for building a strong reputation and thriving in this era of transformation.   --------- EPISODE CHAPTERS ---------   (0:00:00) - Shift to Electric Trucks in Industry Truck industry rapidly shifts to electric vehicles due to global commitments and upcoming legislation for net-zero emissions.

Paul Herrold of the Sons of Speed sits in for Jill again this week. Jill returns for the next episode. Paul and Tom opened the show discussing large pickup-truck sales. Tom had heard that the Chevrolet Silverado was outselling the Ford F-150 this year, which was inaccurate. Tom went down the list of the top pickup sellers in the third quarter. The hosts also noted General Motors' decision to drop the Ultium brand in relation to its electric-vehicle products. Ultium had been used by the maker to describe both vehicle architecture and battery chemistry. Listen in for a complete analysis. Paul and Tom went on to summarize Tesla's Robo Taxi reveal. The autonomous EV, intended initially for commercial ride-hailing use, features scissor-style doors, just two seats, and will not be equipped with a steering wheel or floor pedals. The hosts are skeptical. Tesla anticipates the Robo Taxi being available to users before 2027. Paul then talked about a Sons of Speed “The Lap” video, this one featuring the Subaru BRZ. Paul noted that even though the little Subaru isn't especially powerful, it is fun to drive in the right hands. In the second segment, Paul and Tom are joined by TELO CEO Jason Marks. Jason introduced the hosts to TELO, and its initial product, a pickup truck with the footprint of a Mini Cooper. Jason laid out near- and midterm plans for the TELO, including production and battery sourcing, as well as distribution. In the last segment, Paul is subjected to Tom's “Which Died Last?” quiz. To wrap up the episode, Paul shared some thoughts on the Subaru WRX, which he and fellow Sons of Speed editor Brendan Appel spent time with on the track.

Jill and Tom talked briefly about the eclipse that was taking place during the recording of this week's episode. The conversation turned to the news that Tesla will not be producing the long-promised Model 2, a small electric vehicle with a base price of around $25,000. In other news, the hosts discussed the sudden decline in large pickup-truck sales, a thing which Jill believes is temporary, and not a harbinger of economic weakness. Jill shared her impressions of the 2024 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, a vehicle which the hosts agree is best suited for performance-loving extroverts. Jill noted that the Stelvio is very fast, and that the Verde Montreal (green) color of her test car is not for the faint of heart. In the second segment Tom and Jill welcome Greg Clark, Vice President of Ineos Automotive of the Americas to the show. Greg talked about the Ineos Grenadier, an off-road SUV, which is now on sale in the States. The Grenadier was designed to be an homage to the original Land Rover Defender, and is built for severe rock-crawling activity. Greg talked about the process by which Ineos was able to bring a vehicle to market in less than three years. Greg also discussed the Ineos Quartermaster, a Grenadier-based pickup truck arriving in Ineos dealerships later this year. In the last segment, Jill is subjected to Tom's “Mitsubishi or Golf Club” quiz. Jill's quiz winning streak may be in jeopardy. After the Quiz Tom talked about the 2024 GMC Sierra AT4X he is currently driving. Tom is generally impressed, and had a few things to say about the diesel engine his truck is equipped with.

Our guest on this week's episode is Ramesh Murthy, chief supply chain officer and executive vice president at Bob's Discount Furniture. Finding drivers for private fleets is extremely difficult. One way Bob's Discount Furniture is filling the ranks of its fleet is by reaching out to women drivers. In order to do this, the company had to create a culture where diversity is prioritized. It's worked for Bob's, as its retention rate is extremely high.More companies have been investing in robotics and automation to speed and improve their labor-intensive processes. We take a look at some projects that could serve as examples to the broader industry — especially for those who are just beginning to investigate making these kinds of investments. Sales and manufacturing trends for Class 8 trucks are currently quite healthy, thanks to pent-up vehicle demand and elevated carrier profits during the recent pandemic rush.
