Kostenlose Workshop Anmeldung 25. März 2025 http://richtiganlegen.ch/workshop Kostenloses Beratungsgespräch - jetzt Termin vereinbaren https://richtiganlegen.ch/#Kontakt In dieser Folge tauchen wir ein in das Refinanzierungs-Dilemma der USA: Rund 9 Billionen US-Dollar müssen 2025 neu aufgenommen werden – und das zu deutlich höheren Zinsen als in der Vergangenheit. Was bedeutet das für das US-Budget, die Notenbankpolitik und die Stabilität der Finanzmärkte? Ich zeige dir, warum diese Entwicklung nicht nur Washington betrifft, sondern auch Anlegerinnen und Anleger weltweit.

USAF said this was the B-52s' first live weapons drop in Sweden since the country joined NATO last year.5. US Budget CR Passes Senate. The Senate approved a funding bill that will keep federal agencies funded until Sept. 30, with a $892.5 billion defense topline that slightly exceeds that of fiscal 2024.6. The US Senate today confirmed billionaire financier Stephen Feinberg to be the Defense Department's number two official. Mr. Feinberg's nomination was cleared in a 59-40 vote this afternoon.
For review:1. Ukraine Will Agree to a 30 Day Ceasefire with Russia - US to Restart Military Aid and Intel Sharing. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio: "We'll take this offer now to the Russians. And we hope that they'll say yes, that they'll say yes to peace. The President's objective here is, number one, above everything else, he wants the war to end, and I think today Ukraine has taken a concrete step in that regard. We hope the Russians will reciprocate." 2. Iranian President to President Trump: "Do Whatever the Hell You Want." Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tuesday that his country would not negotiate with the United States over its nuclear program while being threatened.3.

The measure is backed by President Donald Trump, but some key Republicans in the House have refused to back similar measures in the past.

Budget negotiations in Congress are well underway, as lawmakers try to thread a very narrow needle to reach a spending agreement a week before next week's first deadline to fund the federal government. What could the federal budget look like for 2024? And can Congress pass a bill this big before the clock runs out? Utah Congressman Blake Moore is playing a big role in these budget talks, and he shares what he thinks will fix the process of funding the government.
Twice in 2023, the American government faced the prospect of having to shut down because politicians in congress couldn't agree on a budget to fund it. Each time, a shutdown was narrowly averted – by last minute, short-term deals.Now, a third deadline is looming in mid-January. It leaves politicians – with fierce disagreements over what services the government should pay for, and how – little time to reach an agreement.We look at the impact of this uncertainty on businesses, and ask, in an election year, what can be done to bring the chaos to an end?Presented and produced by Rob Young(Image: An employee walks past a sign at the entrance of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History during a 35-day partial government shutdown in Washington, DC, January 28, 2019.

US banks are staring at rising loan losses among clients in the private equity markets. These customers, operating conglomerates and other businesses, are struggling on debt repayments as higher interest rates take a toll, according to DICK BOVE, chief financial strategist at ODEON CAPITAL GROUP, in a new report. “You'd be amazed if you subtracted the net increase in debt from the cash flow statements of [many] American companies, at how many are not generating enough cash,” he says. BOVE is forecasting multiple billions of dollars in bank loan losses in this sector in the coming months. “These losses are going to bankrupt a lot of companies,” he adds. Meanwhile, BOVE says it's premature to suggest the Fed is ready to call it done in its so far successful campaign to tamp down inflation. In good part, that's because of the Fed's tight monetary policy, a policy which has a direct influence on interest rates. Total assets at the Fed have been in steady decline for months. BOVE says the Fed may also raise the Fed Funds rate at least one more time, meaning a hike of 25-basis-points. Higher rates have inflicted financial pain all around, including in debt financing costs of the US government. MAT VAN ALSTYNE, ODEON co-founder and managing partner, says the government has, nonetheless, taken its eye off the financial ball, as political dysfunction rages in Congress. Elsewhere, we look what it takes to be regarded as “rich and affluent” in America today as the ranks of millionaires swell to record levels. JOHN AIDAN BYRNE presents historical data of how being a millionaire about a century ago in America had a different financial meaning than today. We also look at global events.

Ein Unternehmen kann seine Aktionäre auf zwei Art und Weisen verwöhnen: Entweder, er schüttet Dividenden aus oder er kauft seine Aktien zurück und erhöht so den Wert jeder Einzelaktie. Während europäische Börsennotierungen eher mit Dividenden um sich werfen sind in den USA Aktienrückkäufe üblicher. Deshalb hat hier Präsident Joe Biden auch eine sprudelnde Geldquelle für das US-Budget entdeckt. Die erst im Jänner eingeführte Steuer auf Buy backs von einem Prozent auf den Verkehrswert will er vervierfachen. Ich kann mir das bildhaft vorstellen. Da sitzt Sleepy Joe als men with the smiling face vor seinem Rechenschieber und errechnet, dass alleine Apple 2022 für seine Aktienrückkäufe um 90 Milliarden US-Dollar ihm 3,6 Milliarden US-Dollar Steuern hätte überweisen müssen, Meta für seine Aktienrückkäufe 1,6 Milliarden US-Dollar, Chevron drei Milliarden US-Dollar und so weiter und so fort. Mir sind trotz allem Aktienrückkäufe lieber,als Dividenden, weil ich einfach mehr den Eindruck habe, dass das Unternehmen an sich glaubt und vor allem weil ich keine 27,5 prozentige Steuer auf die Ausschüttungen zahlen muss. Bei Deutschen Aktien beträgt die Quellensteuer für mich sogar 38,875 Prozent und bei Schweizer Aktien unglaubliche 47,5 Prozent, weil ich zu bequem bin, mir die zu viel bezahlte Quellensteuer umständlich beim Finanzamt im Ausland zurückzuholen. Aktienrückkäufe sind mir auch deshalb lieber, weil die Börse hier keinen Automatismus erwartet. Reduziert oder kappt ein Unternehmen hingegen seine Dividenden, kann ich als Sahnehäubchen dann hier auch noch Kursrückgänge erwarten. Generell ist mir aber lieber, die Unternehmen kaufen Aktien zurück oder schütten Dividenden aus, bevor sie aus Verzweiflung wohin mit dem Cash sündteure und unsinnige Übernahmen tätigen. Es ist für mich auch sehr ok, wenn sie mit Aktienrückkäufen Mitarbeiteroptionen finanzieren oder sie als Währung für geplante Akquisitionen einsetzen wollen. Weder eine Freundin von Aktienrückkäufen noch von Dividenden bin ich allerdings, wenn sie zur Kurspflege über Schulden finanziert werden und Aktien, koste es, was es wolle, zu überhöhten Preisen zurückgekauft werden. Das stört mich weit mehr als eine Aktienrückkaufsteuer… Rechtlicher Hinweis: Für Verluste, die aufgrund von getroffenen Aussagen entstehen, übernimmt die Autorin, Julia Kistner keine Haftung. #USA #Buybacks #Aktienrückkäufe #Steuer #Devidenden #Chevron #Meta #Apple Dollar #Anleger #investments #Aktie #Quellensteuer #Kapital #Finanz #Dividenden #Übernahmen #Mitarbeiteroption #Schweiz #Deutschland #Kurspflege #Akquisitionen #Dollar #Cash Foto: Unsplash/ekaterina_shevche
Talks on raising the US debt ceiling are heating up in Washington. On this episode, DICK BOVE explains why the Social Security system is inching closer to insolvency unless reforms are introduced to shore up the trust funds supporting the program. Society Security and other programs are at the heart of the debate on the debt ceiling and talks on avoiding a government default. "There is an acceptance of the view that some negotiation is necessary to control the US budget," according to BOVE, chief financial strategist at ODEON CAPITAL GROUP. "Debt is out of control; it must be reined in." On a different note, MAT VAN ALSTYNE, ODEON co-founder and managing partner, explains that coming adjustments in the calculation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) could produce a more positive outcome in the trajectory of the CPI because of significant changes in how some variables that comprise the index are measured. BOVE steps up his case for reshoring American manufacturing jobs, saying while free trade is positive in theory, in practice it has been a disaster for America. "Economists argue that stimulus to rebuild America's manufacturing sector harms South East Asia, raises the price of goods for consumers and hurts free trade," he says. "Nonetheless it must, and is being done." VAN ALSTYNE defends the merits of free trade. JOHN AIDAN BYRNE notes how decades of outsourcing has destablised some American communities, helped fuel social chaos and a drug epidemic, as middle-class jobs were shipped overseas. Elsewhere, BOVE explains how the US Fed is now damaging the US banking system by competing with banks for large customer deposits. Questions & Comments: Podcast@OdeonCap.com

Kia ora,Welcome to Tuesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the International edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news financial markets are showing increasing turbulence as war rages, the pandemic rolls on, and inflation rises. A risk-off mood is developing again.But first, the American merchandise trade balance fell in February from January, down from -US$101 bln to -US$84 bln for each month, but given the seasonality of these months the improvement was minor. A year ago in February, the deficit was -US$69.8 bln, but this increase is really just a reflection of strong domestic demand from a booming economy.The rise in both retail and wholesale inventories can also be attributed to the same demand strength, but also the growing pressures on supply chains is adding new bulk to these reserves. We are talking +10% to +20% bulking up here and more than just inflationary effects. The latest Shanghai lockdowns will accentuate that.The Dallas Fed's factory survey shows their expansion is extending even if it is at a slightly lower pace. New orders growth softened, but costs and wages rose at their fastest pace ever for this survey.Supply chain stress is a common conversation point, and the new Shanghai lockdown is getting most of the attention. But we should also note that a potential US West Coast dockworkers strike is a new immediate upcoming threat, possibly stranding ships until it is resolved and throwing shipping schedules into chaos.The US Administration has proposed a US$5.8 tln annual budget, equivalent to less than 23% of US economic activity (GDP). (For comparison the 2022 New Zealand was at 44% of our GDP.) The US deficit is expected to be -US$1.15 tln in the budget year, down from -US$2.8 tln in the final Trump year. Spending is expected to be -15% lower on the same basis, but taxes collected are expected to be +15% higher, mainly on higher employment levels and better company profitability. But the ultra-wealthy will be expected to pay more (something).In China, the Pudong area of Shanghai has gone into lockdown and mass-testing mode. And that includes their financial center.Taiwanese consumer confidence slipped slightly in March, but this is now a longish trend and it has fallen to a nine-month low.Hong Kong export growth vanished in February, barely matching year-ago levels.In Australia, all eyes there are on the election budget to be released later today. It will undoubtedly be expansionary and inflationary - and that in turn may require the RBA to bring forward its rate hike plans. Already bond yields have jumped there on that expectation, self-fulfilling in many ways because higher interest rates will swell their budget deficits. Eyes will also be on the assumptions their Government will be using for this budget. "Too rosy" will undermine its credibility and cause rates to rise faster.The UST 10yr yield opens today at 2.46% and down -3 bps from this time yesterday. The price of gold starts today at US$1939/oz and down -US$19/oz from this time yesterday.And oil prices are down a sharpish -US$5.50 to US$106.50/bbl in the US. And the international Brent price is now about US$111/bbl.The Kiwi dollar will open down more than -½c from this time yesterday at 69 USc. Against the Australian dollar we are down similarly at 92.1 AUc. Against the euro we are even more at 62.7 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just at 74.4 having given up all the gains of the past week.The bitcoin price is up a sharp +5.7% from this time yesterday at US$47,482. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been high at +/- 3.4%.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.

There are intensive discussions on Capitol Hill to try and break the deadlock over his proposed $3.5 trillion spending plans. Those plans have lead to deep divisions in his own Democratic Party. So how close to a deal are we? We get analysis from Natalie Andrews, Congress Reporter for the Wall Street Journal. And is Russia using energy as a political weapon? The question is frequently asked in Europe and it's now being asked in Moldova, a former Soviet Republic that's been trying to move away from Russia's orbit and develop closer ties to the EU. It follows the decision by the Russian state-owned gas company Gazprom to reduce supplies to Moldova and to threaten to suspend them completely. Moscow correspondent Steve Rosenberg has been to Moldova to find out what's behind the latest gas crisis. Also in the programme, we look at why has the iconic French fashion house Jean Paul Gaultier - known for cone-shaped corsets worn by Madonna for example - decided to allow people to rent some of its most iconic pieces? And Fergus Nicoll investigates what efforts are some cities making to combat climate change. And we're joined throughout the programme by Tony Nash Tony Nash of Complete Intelligence in Houston, Texas and Jeanette Rodrigues, South Asia Managing Editor of Bloomberg in Dubai.

Thursday 30th September 2021 Markets are much calmer this morning. Equities have managed to climb a little, with the biggest moves in currencies and commodities. NAB's David de Garis says there's debate about whether we're heading to reflation, deflation or stagflation, or all of the above. The Aussie dollar lost more ground, but the pound is taking more of a hammering as fuel shortages will almost certainly be hitting the growth outlook there. Over the Atlantic the debt ceiling is looming, but the short-term issue is passing some sort of budget today, so the government can carry on spending tomorrow.

On this episode of the Planned Solutions Incorporated Podcast, Taxpayers have begun to receive notices about the advanced payment of the new expanded child tax credit. However, many taxpayers end up with questions about how much of a credit they will qualify to receive, whether they should elect to receive advanced payments or claim the full tax credit on their income tax returns, and how they can update their information with the IRS so that the number of their advanced payments are calculated correctly. Also, The federal government deficit decreased over the past nine months despite an increase in federal spending related to the pandemic. The decrease was largely due to a sharp increase in personal and corporate tax revenues as the US economy has bounced back from the economic restrictions implemented to slow the spread of the Coronavirus. And, a Limited supply of new cars due to supply chain disruptions has created a hot market for new and used cars. This is the market for a new car that may find higher prices and fewer options in terms of the vehicles available. However, in many cases, financing terms are still favorable, and buyers may be able to get a premium price for their trade-in. Meanwhile, those in the market for a used car may find few available and higher prices as the average age of the vehicle on the road increases due to reduced vehicle turnover among car owners.

US President Joe Biden is set to release the first budget of his administration, a $6 trillion plan that would represent the largest sustained federal spending since World War II. Also today, French consumers get back into action as the national lockdown ends, and Airbnb plays party pooper by extending a ban on house parties.
"What he's doing is facing reality, there's good debt and bad debt."Biden's first budget is due to be announced at the end of this week, we look at what's anticipated and whether it stacks up to promises made on the campaign trail. And a year on from the killing of George Floyd the policing reforms in his name are yet to become reality, what needs to happen? Also, Biden to meet with Putin in Geneva, COVID conspiracies gaining cred, and Belarus participating in 'state-sponsored hijacking'.
Today on The Leaders' Brief - U.S. President Joe Biden's proposed federal budget, released last Friday, could be called a polar shift from his predecessor Donald Trump's fiscal approach. The Democrat President has earmarked a total of $769 billion for non-defence programs and focuses on several domestic issues such as public health programmes and aims to ramp up the fight against climate change. In fact, the proposed $1.5 trillion budget for 2022 increases funding for domestic programs by 16% at 3.3% of the country's GDP while increasing the military budget by a mere 1.7%. The plan is expected to be strongly debated in Congress. The United Kingdom's Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation has advised Britain to avoid using AstraZeneca shots for those aged below 30 over concerns of blood clotting at a time the country is preparing to ease lockdown restrictions. Wei Shen Lim, chair of the British health advisory board told a press briefing that based on available data and evidence, it was preferable for adults aged under 30 to be offered an alternative to the AstraZeneca jab. He, however, pointed out that “We are advising a preference for one vaccine over another vaccine for a particular age group, really out of the utmost caution, rather than because we have any serious safety concerns”. In the highest ever antitrust fine in the country, Chinese regulators have fined Alibaba Group Holding a record $2.75 billion for violating anti-monopoly rules and abusing its dominant market position. The Jack Ma owned corporation has seen its businesses being targeted by Chinese authorities on several occasions since October, last year, including a decision to freeze the planned $37 Billion public listing of Alibaba's fintech firm Ant Group, after the company had cleared almost every hurdle. China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) had launched an antitrust probe into Alibaba soon after the IPO was halted in December last year.

Biden made news on Thursday when he told Stars and Stripes that he supports a sustained U.S. military footprint of up to 1,500-2,000 on the ground — primarily for special operations against ISIS and other terror threats — in the war that began after the 9/11 terrorist attacks 19 years ago."

Michael Knox Morgans Chief Economist, discusses how just as in the previous business cycle, expansion in the US budget deficit should see a fall in the US dollar and a rise in commodity prices.
Tom welcomes a new guest Lyn Alden to the program. Lyn's finds her background in engineering useful when examining markets and uncovering feedback mechanisms. She discusses the different debt bubbles and how they have only grown over the past decade. The US congressional budget office has failed to take recessions into account in their projections. As a result, we have already hit debt levels they were not expecting for another five to ten years. Longterm Lyn expects the dollar to decline based on it's historical cycles. Commodities, including gold, are at historically cheap levels, and the recent sell-off in commodities has made oil and copper more attractive. Gold appears fairly valued currently, but the trend is going higher. Periods of negative or low bond yields are perfect environments for gold, and most investors still have little or no exposure to gold. Silver could easily outperform in part because it's such a small market. Any inflows could have outsized effects on the price. If there is an explosion in electric vehicle sales, we could see silver and the base metals used in the electrical grid move much higher. This is an excellent environment for gold and other scarce assets.

It certainly isn’t positive for US-based solar power companies. However, from a global perspective – and even for the US – solar power will continue to make headway. Writing about how the new US budget affects renewable energy producers is Maxx Chatsko of the Motley Fool. He says in an article titled 2 Renewable Energy Winners and 2 Losers in the Latest Federal Budget that “The production tax credit extension could provide a lift to power generators and electric utilities such as Xcel Energy (NASDAQ:XEL), which has 2,022 megawatts of wind power capacity coming on line in 2020 and 2021.” End quote. A second winner of the budget deal Mr. Chatsko feels is the Renewable Energy Group (NASDAQ:REGI). He writes that “[It’s] the nation's largest biodiesel producer… The business estimates that it will receive a $450 million windfall from renewable fuel production from the start of 2018 through the third quarter of 2019. If production volumes continue to increase in the near future, then the three-year extension could result in an additional $1 billion in total tax credits for the company.” End quote. Mr. Chatsko says the losers from the budget are small-scale solar power companies like SolarEdge Technologies (NASDAQ:SEDG) and electric vehicle producers such as Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and General Motors (NYSE:GM). For more details read his article. ------------------------------------------------------------- (2) US Budget’s Renewable Energy Winners. And More… Also, in light of the US budget deal, consider what Ben Hernandez says about three alternative power ETFs in an article titled, Investors Shouldn’t Forget to Power Portfolios with Alternative Energy. He writes that, quote, “One ETF to look at is the Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF (NYSEArca: LIT)... [it’s] nearly nine years old [and] tracks the Solactive Global Lithium Index… One of the oldest thematic ETFs, Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF is designed to provide exposure to ‘the full lithium cycle, from mining and refining the metal, through battery production,’ according to Global X.” End quote. The second ETF Mr. Hernandez suggests tracks global wind power companies. He states that “Investors who want to capitalize on increasing reliance on wind as an alternative energy resource… can look at the First Trust Global Wind Energy ETF (NYSEArca: FAN). The fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield of an equity index called the ISE Clean Edge Global Wind EnergyTM Index… [Which] provides a benchmark for investors interested in tracking public companies throughout the world that are active in the wind energy industry.” End quote. Then for a third choice, he writes that “For investors looking for more broad-based exposure to alternative energy can give the SPDR Kensho Clean Power ETF (NYSEArca: CNRG) a look. [It] seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the total return performance of the S&P Kensho Clean Power Index, which is designed to capture companies whose products and services are driving innovation behind clean power.” End quote. ------------------------------------------------------------- (3) 7 Apps for Socially Responsible Investing Continuing on the subject of ethical and sustainable investing robo advisers from previous episodes, Barbara Friedberg wrote on the US News site her latest recommendations. They’re in a post titled 7 Apps for Socially Responsible Investing. Her top apps are M1 Finance, Axos Invest, Ellevest, OpenInvest, SoFi Invest, Personal Capital, and Betterment. These include several she hadn’t mentioned before, which are Axos, Ellevest, OpenInvest, SoFi Invest, and Personal Capital. Go to her article to see her reviews. ------------------------------------------------------------- (4) Conflicting ESG Ratings Are Confusing Sustainable Investors Now, for many of you who do your own company research, you probably wonder if the ESG scores you see are similar among the top ESG ratings’ firms. Well, a study by MIT Sloan School of Management says only rarely! The study was discussed in a Bloomberg piece by Jacqueline Poh, titled Conflicting ESG Ratings Are Confusing Sustainable Investors. The research included company ESG raters: Asset4, KLD, RobecoSAM, Sustainalytics, and Vigeo-Eiris. However, another major rater, MSCI, was not included. ------------------------------------------------------------- (5) 50 Best ESG Companies: A List Of Today's Top Stocks For Environmental, Social And Governance Values I just mentioned that MSCI’s company ESG ratings were missing from the MIT study. However, coincidentally, the US publication Investor’s Business Daily has recently published an article titled 50 Best ESG Companies: A List Of Today's Top Stocks For Environmental, Social And Governance Values – based on MSCI data. Investor’s Business Daily – or IBD – also has its own ratings that are applied to the MSCI scores. To understand IBD’s ratings go to Scott Lehtonen’s post titled How To Find And Buy The Top ESG Stocks In The Current Stock Market Rally on the IBD site. (The above links don’t work directly. Copy and paste these urls to your browser.) https://www.investors.com/research/how-to-find-and-buy-the-top-esg-stocks-in-the-current-stock-market-rally/ https://www.investors.com/research/best-esg-companies-top-stocks-environmental-social-governance-values/ ------------------------------------------------------------- (6) PIMCO Enhanced Short Maturity Active ESG ETF Now, do you need to park some cash in a money market fund but would prefer one that’s ESG based? Well, the following fund might be for you. PIMCO, a leading US bond firm, has recently launched a new type of money market fund. It’s called PIMCO Enhanced Short Maturity Active ESG ETF (NYSEArca: EMNT). Writing in ETFdb.com, in a post titled PIMCO Releases Active ESG ETF ‘EMNT’ Aaron Neuwirth says it “aims to offer higher income than traditional cash investments, with a modest increase in risk and focuses on issuers with high quality environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices.” End quote. ------------------------------------------------------------- (7) Catholic Investor Long/Short Equity Fund Finally, an innovative religious-values fund that’s really breaking new ground! It’s the Catholic Investor Long/Short Equity Fund. Quoting from a press release, “The Catholic Investor Long/Short Equity Fund is the only Catholic long/short mutual fund in the world, aimed at satisfying the needs of investors who appreciate ethical values-based investing. The Fund adheres to the investing principles outlined by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).” End quote. Note though, that as a mutual fund, it’s probably only available to US investors. Don’t forget you can Google any terms that might be unfamiliar to you. ------------------------------------------------------------- Well, these are my top news stories and tips for ethical and sustainable investors over the past two weeks.

Kia ora and welcome to Tuesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect New Zealand. I'm Rebecca Caroe and this is the International edition from Interest.co.nz. This podcast is supported by Hatch. With Hatch, anyone can invest in the US share markets. Last week, Kiwis buying shares on Hatch backed the tech industry and emerging sectors. Here are the top 10 most popular shares on Hatch: Starting at 10, we have: Google Aurora Cannabis The PowerShares Trust ETF: QQQ Microsoft Beyond Meat Apple Amazon Tesla Disney And the most popular share on Hatch last week was AMD. Visit hatchinvest.nz to buy any of these US-listed shares. Invest dollar amounts to buy as much or as little as you like, even if it’s a fraction of a share. Today this podcast leads with news of a sharp turn to risk aversion. The US budget deficit pushed closer to the one trillion dollar mark in July, now at 962 billion. That is twenty seven percent higher than one year ago, and well higher than for all of the previous fiscal year. However the recent Congressional deal makes a debt limit shutdown much less likely even when it pushes on up through that benchmark. At one trillion dollars, that will represent four point seven percent of US GDP, up from three point nine percent in fiscal 2018 and three point four percent in the prior year. Bond markets winced, becoming even more risk averse and driving the yield for benchmark US Treasury 10 year bonds down to just one point six six percent which is the lowest level since October 2016. Equity markets also reacted negatively, with the S&P500 now down one point five percent. This is much more than the point two of a percent that European markets closed at overnight. Yesterday Asian equity markets were generally positive, especially Shanghai which was up almost one and a half percent. Another overnight negative however came from Argentina where the President suffered a shock loss in a primary election campaign for re-election, beaten by a candidate not committed to reform. The reactions have been swift and harsh on both the Argentine currency and equity markets. [Advert] Do you know what the credit rating codes actually mean? We have a helpful explainer, so you can quickly distinguish the difference between an investment grade rating, and a junk rating. It is all laid out clearly at [interest.co.nz/credit-ratings-explained](https:// interest.co.nz/credit-ratings-explained.). In China, credit growth is slowing, and quite sharply. Banks lent just on 150 billion dollars in new loans in the month, more than 30% lower than for June and more than 15% less than analysts were expecting. This significantly slower pace of lending will significantly fuel expectations that Beijing will have to step up monetary easing measures to boost the weakening economy amid escalating trade tensions with the US. Just outside Hong Kong, China is readying forces to move in and take over, in an ominous signal. Locally, we get the REINZ data for July house sales activity at 9am, so join us then for full analysis. The UST 10yr yield is down a sharp 9 basis points to be at just 1.66 percent. Gold is nine dollars higher today at 1,505 US dollars an ounce. US oil prices are little-changed today at just on fifty four fifty US dollars a barrel. The Brent benchmark is little-changed at 58.50. The Kiwi dollar is unchanged today, still at 64.7 US cents. On the cross rates we are marginally firmer at 95.5 Australian cents. Against the euro we are softer at 57.5 euro cents. That sets the Trade Weighted Index back slightly, to just on 69.6. You can find links to the articles mentioned today on our website.
