Aaron and Don debrief on the 9 days they had in the US with founders and investors.
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.And today we lead with newsthe prospect of tariffs already seem to be sapping the rising expansion of the American manufacturing sector over the past few years.The first look at PMIs for March are starting to come through with early 'flash' results. In the US, the S&P Global composite PMI rose in March from February's 10-month low. The service sector led the upturn with a better than expected gain. But the factory sector fell into contraction as a tariff-driven boost earlier in the year ran out of puff. Employment grew only marginally. New order growth for factories evaporated in March, but rose for services.They are facing significant cost challenges. For example, with the new Administration calling 'copper' a national security issue, prices for this key metal have now hit a record all-time high there, and rising. This type of policy mistake is going to make US factories far less competitive on the global stage.The Chicago Fed's National Activity Index rose in February, consistent with the PMIs, and the hesitation in new orders showed up here too with this category dropping below its long term average and one of the weaker components although better than in prior months.In Japan, their March 'flash' PMI wasn't great for them. The factory PMI contracted in March and by more than expected, the ninth consecutive month of contraction. It was a reversal in factory activity since March 2024, with sharper declines in both production and new orders, despite foreign sales growing. In the services sector there was an even larger decline, but only to just below a steady state from February's solid expansion.In India, their PMIs continued to register a strong expansion, consistent with what they have had. Even though the services expansion was slightly less, it is still strong. Factory activity is still very strong and rising new orders suggest real capacity problems, but also that the gains will continue.In China, there are official central bank indications that they are getting ready to cut their policy rates and banks' reserve requirements, at the “right time.”And staying in China, they are starting to deploy robot police.Singapore's inflation rate rose in February from January, but due to base effects, fell from a year ago and is now only up +0.9%. That is the first time it has been under 1% in four years. Since September 2022 when it hit 7.5%, it has steadily fallen from there.In the EU, their March 'flash' PMIs record expansions in both their services and factory sectors. True, they are both minor, but because they are rising from contractions they are notable. New order growth is behind the rise.The latest internationally-benchmarked factory PMI for Australia for March is recording a strong gain and an expansion that is its strongest since late 2022. Their 'flash' services PMI also rose but it is recording a more modest expansion.We are standing by for a May election in Australia. Probably May 3, or May 10, both Thursdays. We won't know what they actually decide until after their 2025/26 Federal Budget is released later today. Because it is an election Budget, its forecasts will be looked at dubiously. Current polling has the opposition parties ahead, but now falling rather sharply in support. Here is a recent outlier poll. It's basically too close to call.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.33%, up +7 bps from yesterday at this time.The price of gold will start today at just on US$3009/oz and down a net -US$14 from yesterday.Oil prices are up +50 USc from yesterday at just on US$69/bbl in the US and the international Brent price is still just under US$73/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now at 57.2 USc and down another -10 bps from this time yesterday. Against the Aussie we are down -30 bps at 91.1 AUc. Against the euro we are holding at just under 53 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today just under 66.8, and down -10 bps.The bitcoin price starts today at US$88,026 and up +3.2% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been moderate at +/- 2.2%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.

Founded in 2023 to redefine compliance and cybersecurity, ZeroRisk transforms end-to-end merchant management for leading financial institutions across the globe. Its technology streamlines payment card industry compliance and delivers real-time data insights for acquiring banks, payment service providers, digital sellers, and other financial institutions to manage complex portfolios. ZeroRisk's Merchant Management platform is a unified, cloud-native solution that turns complex processes into one scalable system. The software allows users to manage all aspects of merchant risk and compliance such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard and the NIST Cyber Security Framework. By leveraging vast amounts of data, the platform provides real-time analytics, dynamic risk scoring, and actionable insights. This helps organisations identify vulnerabilities and surface cyber risks before they become critical issues. The platform also integrates automated compliance workflows and a curated solutions marketplace, allowing users to proactively enhance performance, and improve decision-making.

Zerorisk's platform is addressing these threats by providing enterprise-grade security solutions tailored for small and mid-size businesses at scale. Through advanced risk intelligence, automation and seamless compliance enablement, Zerorisk empowers SMB's to protect their businesses with the same level of security as larger enterprises.

Interview with Marty Tunney, COO of IsoEnergy Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/isoenergy-tsxiso-anfield-energy-acquisition-positions-for-uranium-market-resurgence-6054Recording date: 14th November 2024Iso Energy (TS:ISO) is a uranium exploration and development company well-positioned to capitalize on the growing global demand for clean, carbon-free energy. With a portfolio of high-grade assets in premier mining jurisdictions including Canada, the United States, and Australia, IsoEnergy offers investors a compelling opportunity to gain exposure to the uranium sector.The company's flagship asset is the high-grade Hurricane uranium deposit located in Canada's renowned Athabasca Basin. Hurricane boasts the highest grade uranium resource globally, with the potential to support a low-cost mining operation. IsoEnergy is actively advancing Hurricane with ongoing exploration and development work.IsoEnergy recently made a transformative acquisition, buying Anfield Energy and its US uranium assets. The deal includes the past-producing Tony M Mine and the Shootaring Canyon Mill in Utah. IsoEnergy is working to refurbish the Tony M Mine, which has been on standby since the 1980s, to bring it back into production. The Shootaring Canyon Mill could provide Iso Energy with a centralized processing facility for its US projects, but requires additional studies and permitting to increase its throughput capacity and production levels.The acquisition of Anfield Energy provides IsoEnergy with a pathway to near-term production in the US and a foothold in a jurisdiction with a supportive stance towards uranium mining. Management is optimistic about the potential to bring the Tony M Mine back into production and is working to advance the project through permitting.Importantly, the political environment for nuclear energy is improving in the United States. The Biden administration has signaled its support for expanding nuclear power capacity as part of its clean energy agenda. Meanwhile, presidential election winner Donald Trump has also adopted a pro-nuclear stance. This bipartisan support bodes well for the domestic uranium industry.The company has a strong balance sheet and no debts as of its most recent financial reporting. To enhance its capital markets profile and access a deeper pool of institutional investors, IsoEnergy is considering a potential stock listing in the United States. A US listing could help the company achieve a valuation more in line with its uranium peers and provide additional liquidity for its shares.The outlook for the uranium market is improving as countries prioritize carbon-free energy solutions to combat climate change. Demand for uranium is expected to grow in the coming years as new nuclear reactors come online and existing plants extend their operating lives. At the same time, uranium supply remains constrained following years of low prices that led to mine curtailments and project deferrals. This supply-demand imbalance could lead to higher uranium prices, benefiting producers like IsoEnergy.In conclusion, IsoEnergy offers investors a compelling opportunity to gain exposure to the uranium sector. The company's high-grade resources, experienced management team, and exposure to supportive jurisdictions like the US and Canada position it well for growth. With multiple potential catalysts on the horizon, including a potential US listing and the advancement of its Tony M Mine, IsoEnergy is a uranium explorer to watch.View IsoEnergy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/isoenergySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

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 the American economy continues its remarkable run, although corporate earnings guidance is showing some hesitation.US jobless claims last week came in at +200,000, a decrease and more than expected. Interestingly, this is the same level it was a year ago for the same week. There are now 1.62 mln people on these benefits, also lower than expected.Tomorrow's US non-farm payrolls are expected to grow just +113,000, but today's data on initial jobless claims, job cut data, and yesterday's ADP data all suggests the analyst estimates are well undercooked. Certainly markets think so and see the strong labour market and the pressure it puts on the economy as a reason the US Fed may defer its next rate cut.Today's release of personal income, and personal spending levels both indicate faster rises than expected, also a flag for Fed caution. Core PCE inflation is still running at 2.7%. Real disposable personal income is up +3.1% from the same month a year ago. Real personal consumption expenditures are up the same. It is surprise 'strength' and markets are wary.But not showing strength however was the October edition of the Chicago PMI.The latest update in Canada for average earnings has them rising a rather remarkable +4.6% from a year ago. That is its highest rate since the pandemic, and before that since before the GFC in 2007. This was also quite a data surprise.China's manufacturing activity snapped a five-month contraction in October, as the recent fresh stimulus measures boosted production. But only just. The country's official PMI came in at 50.1 for the month. Their services sector came in at 50.2, also only a minor expansion. It may only just be the start of their expansion, but they are probably disappointed at these early indicators.And a new stimulus measure has been announced in China. Home loan borrowers have been given the right to renegotiate their loan interest rate lower as/if interest rates fall. It's China; a contract is only enforceable if Beijing says it is.The Bank of Japan left its policy rate unchanged at 0.25% on Thursday as political uncertainties hang over the economy after an inconclusive national election result. They also kept their three-year inflation projections unchanged, confident their economy is expanding as they want. They say inflation should stay near 2%.Japanese September retail sales were quite a disappointment, rising just +0.5% from a year ago when a +2.3% rise like they have had for a while, was expected. One to watch.In the EU, the Euro Area CPI inflation rate ticked up slightly to 2.0% in October, again restrained by lower energy costs.In a piece of humourous dystopian theatre, a Russian court has fined Google more than there is money in the world, because YouTube won't disseminate their state misinformation. The amount (in US dollars) is US$$20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. I have no idea how to pronounce that.Breaking a 17 week trend, container shipping freight rates actually rose last week, up +4% from the prior week, to be +126% above pre-pandemic levels. Bulk cargo rates fell -3.5% on the same prior-week basis, to be very similar to what they were a year ago.The UST 10yr yield is now at just under 4.27% and down -2 bps from this time yesterday. Wall Street has started its Thursday with the S&P500 down -1.7%. Earnings guidance from some majors is causing the re-think.The price of gold will start today at US$2739/oz and down -US$37 from yesterday and well off its high.Oil prices are up +50 USc US$69/bbl in the US while the international Brent price is unchanged, still at US$72.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar starts today at 59.6 USc and down -20 bps from this time yesterday. Against the Aussie we are also down -20 bps at 90.8 AUc. Against the euro we are down -20 bps too at 54.9 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 68.6, and - no surprise - down -20 bps from yesterday at this time.The bitcoin price starts today at US$70,389 and down -2.4% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just on +/- 1.8%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora.
