Podcasts about vehicle sales

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.And today we lead with news China and the US seem to have agreed some sort of trade deal although the details are still quite fuzzy. However a key part seem to be that the US will only get access to the rare earth minerals on a 180 day rolling basis. That means Beijing will retain key leverage over these negotiations as they develop.From data out in the US, CPI inflation was recorded at 2.4% in May, up marginally from 2.3% in April but coming in lower than the +2.5% expected. Food prices however were up +2.9%, rents up +3.9% in this survey. The only reason the overall level was modest is that petrol prices fell -3.5% from a year ago.Interestingly, US crude oil prices were near a one-year high a year ago at US$78/bbl. Today they are at US$67/bbl. But they have fallen steadily from there so after August it seems likely that US petrol prices will generate upward pressure on their CPI, just about at the time tariff-tax flow throughs start to bite. Could get "interesting" in about 90 days.Meanwhile US mortgage applications jumped more than +12% last week from the prior weak three weeks. It is a pattern we have observed since September - three weeks of declines followed by a single week of recovery, usually because those holding off refinancing while waiting for rates to fall can't wait any longer. The benchmark 30 year fixed rate was unchanged last week at 6.93% plus points.There was another US Treasury 10 year bond tender earlier today, and this one featured an outsized fall in demand. There were more than -10% less bids than at the prior equivalent event. The median yield achieved was 4.38% today, up from 4.28% at that prior equivalent event.This is the first time we have seen a big fall-off in demand in these official tenders, so it will be worth keeping an eye on it going forward to see if this is a one-off, or the feared pullback in investor appetite for Trump-debt.At the same time, the US Budget Statement for May showed a monthly deficit of -US$316 bln, only marginally less than the -US$346 bln for the same month a year ago. Higher tariff collections at the border are getting the credit, of US$23 bln in the month. That would mean the DOGE has had zero impact on the budget. They have booked a -US$2 tln deficit in the twelve months to May, and on track for more than that for their fiscal year to September. If the current Budget Bill passes with its tax cuts for the rich, and suspension of the debt ceiling, you can see why investors would want sharply higher risk premiums for holding US federal debt when the mismanagement is so rife.In Canada, April building consents came in -6.6% below March levels to be -16% lower than year ago levels (which featured a strong April 2024 surge).In China, May vehicle sales came in at almost 2.7 mln units in the month with almost half of them NEVs. That puts sales for the past year at a remarkable 32.7 mln, and more than double the level in the US (15.6 mln units in the past year). One key reason is the Beijing-backed trade-in incentives that are designed to support their manufacturing activity through the tariff-war and their drive to build and rely more on internal consumption. It seems to be working with this incentive in place, but can they wean themselves off it?The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.42%, and down -5 bps from this time yesterday. The price of gold will start today at US$3,323/oz, and virtually unchanged from yesterday.American oil prices are up +US$2 at just over US$67/bbl while the international Brent price is now just under US$69/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now just over 60.4 USc, basically holding from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are also holding at 92.7 AUc. Against the euro we are down -30 bps at 52.6 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at under 68.3 and down about -10 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$109,115 and up +0.4% from yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has remained low at just on +/-0.8%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston.

Uncertainty defined much of the conversation at Auto Finance Summit East 2025 last week in Nashville, Tenn., with auto lenders highlighting affordability, auto tariffs, EV dynamics and technology as top-of-mind considerations headed into the rest of the year.  Auto tariffs were a resounding theme throughout the event, as lenders discussed inventory and pricing dynamics, mixed consumer demand and the possibility of longer-term loans to address affordability.  Against the backdrop of higher vehicle prices and tariffs, Chase Auto and Santander Consumer USA are leaning into relationships with manufacturers to drive growth. Auto lenders are also diving into AI and automation to improve customer experience, tap refinance demand and enhance underwriting processes. Despite potential elimination of the federal EV tax credit, lenders are bullish on the sector as manufacturers remain committed to electrification goals. In this episode of “Weekly Wrap,” Auto Finance News Editor Amanda Harris, Senior Associate Editor Truth Headlam and Associate Editor Aidan Bush discuss top takeaways from Auto Finance Summit East 2025. 

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.And today we lead with news the price of gold is falling, long term benchmark interest rates keep on rising with larger risk premiums, and monetary policy regulators are coming round to the idea of rate cuts to bolster flagging economic expansion everywhere.But first in the US, mortgage application volumes rose marginally last week from the prior week for the period and holding on to the +11% jump of the previous period. Benchmark home loan rates were basically stable but at an elevated level averaging 6.86%.Canada building consents fell in March and by more than expected although to be fair it only cancelled the February rise and probably isn't too surprising given their election campaign and overall economic uncertainty around relations with the US.Meanwhile, Canadian vehicle sales took off in March, and to its best month since the pandemic, as buyers rushed to get hold of pickups, utes and light trucks ahead of the threat of sharply higher prices. On the other hand, car sales dived.In China, new yuan loan approvals were unusually weak in the April data released overnight. Banks approved loans at their lowest rate for an April since 2005, and at ¥280 bln, that was less than 10% of the good March level and less than half the year ago level, itself unusually weak. Of course, it reflects the initial impact of the trade war on Chinese businesses.In Australia we should note that large parts of Victoria and South Australia are in a severe drought condition, also even parts of Tasmania. Some say it is the worst "in a lifetime" with zero April rainfall extending into May. If there is any hope for livestock farmers it is that grain production has been high in other areas, enabling grain-fed beef to continue. Lucky for them, grain-fed beef demand is rising in China. Those drought conditions contrast with the endless rain Sydney is having.Next week on Tuesday, the Aussie central bank will be reviewing its 4.10% cash rate target. More analysts now see a -25 bps cut then. Although it is no certainty, financial markets also have it priced in.And staying in Australia, regulator ASIC is tackling Macquarie again. ASIC is suing Macquarie Securities alleging it engaged in misleading conduct by misreporting millions of short sales to the market operator for over 14 years. They allege that between 11 December 2009 and 14 February 2024, Macquarie failed to correctly report the volume of short sales by at least 73 million. ASIC estimates that this could be between 298 million and 1.5 billion short sales. The last ASIC action against Macquarie was just a week ago over compliance failures. Today's action is the fifth by ASIC against Macquarie since April 2024.The UST 10yr yield is at 4.53%, up +3 bps so far today.The price of gold will start today at US$3175/oz, and down -US$67 from yesterday.Oil prices are marginally lower today at just under US$63.50/bbl in the US and the international Brent price is just under US$66.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now at 59.1 USc, down -30 bps from yesterday at this time. Against the Aussie we are up +10 bps at 91.8 AUc. Against the euro we are down -30 bps at 52.8 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today just under 67.6 and down a net -30 bps from this time yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$103,147 and down almost -1.0% from yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has remained modest at just under +/- 1.1%.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.

Electric vehicle sales in Clare appear to be rebounding so far this year. New data from the Society of the Irish Motor Industry shows 184 EVs were sold in this county between January and April which is up almost 45% on the figure for the same period in 2024. A total of 1,587 vehicles have been sold in Clare in 2025 to date which indicates a 8% increase on last year. SIMI Director General Brian Cooke says it's a trend that can be observed nationwide.

Toyota Motor Corp. said Thursday that its parent-only global vehicle sales fell for the first time in four years in fiscal 2024, which ended last month.

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.And today we lead with news the Trump tariff announcement will be just after 4pm New York time today when Wall Street closes. That is 9am New Zealand time. After that, it will be all about the size and nature of the retaliation from its former allies.In the meantime we should note that American vehicle sales surged in March as buyers rushed to get pre-tariff-cost vehicles. March's sales ran at a 17.7 mln annualised rate, the highest since October 2017 (if we ignore a pandemic-affected spike). Bringing forward purchases like this doesn't augur well for subsequent months. Not included in this surge were Tesla sales which fell -13% in the quarter, largely attributed to the anti-Musk factor. Production far exceeded sales which were at their lowest since 2022, and that was after "model changeover" production cutbacks. (Also not doing so well are the shares in Truth Social, which are down -44% so far this year.)US mortgage applications decreased last week from the prior week but are now +9% higher than the low year-ago levels. Refinance activity fell and purchase activity rose. This is the third straight week of overall declines. Benchmark mortgage interest rates changed little over the past week.US factory orders rose in February from January - marginally, but remain -0.5% lower than year-ago levels.This weekend we get the American non-farm payrolls data for March and a modest rise of +128,000 jobs is anticipated. In advance of that, the ADP Employment Report out today said private payrolls rose +155,000 in March which was better than expected. Although low by historical standards, this is a 'good' result.After two strong months, the US Logistics index fell back and quite sharply to a level they last had in August 2024. Every aspect except warehouse capacity slowed.In India, they recorded a notable rise in their factory PMI. New order growth strengthened despite softer a softer rise in exports. This PMI result was their best since June 2024.In the ASEAN countries, their March PMIs together painted a picture of a modest expansion even if it did slip in March from February. Price pressures eased, and sentiment remains solid. Malaysia was perhaps one of the weaker performers in this group.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.21%, up +5 bps from yesterday at this time.The price of gold will start today at just on US$3132/oz and up a net +US$25 from yesterday and still just off its all-time high.Oil prices are little-changed from yesterday at just under US$71.50/bbl in the US and the international Brent price is now just under US$75/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now at 57.3 USc and up +40 bps from this time yesterday. Against the Aussie we are up +30 bps at 91.1 AUc. Against the euro we are up +10 bps at just over 52.8 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today now just under 66.8 and up +30 bps.The bitcoin price starts today at US$87,214 and up another +2.5% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been rising but still modest at +/- 1.9%.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.

Tesla may benefit when founder Elon Musk leaves his government role. There are reports the billionaire will leave his role at the Department of Government Efficiency to take a much smaller role in the administration. It comes as auto maker reports a 13 percent drop in vehicle sales in the first three months of the year. US Correspondent Mitch McCann told Andrew Dickens rumours of Musk's departure are already having an effect on Tesla's fortunes. He says it's sent stocks up five percent.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The first half of 2025 is expected to bring stabilizing delinquencies, increased demand for automotive refinance and mixed vehicle price and sales dynamics. Auto loan delinquencies are projected to cool in the second quarter as the market stabilizes, improving lenders' appetite for auto credit. Auto originations are also expected to increase between 12% to 20% as tax refunds boost consumer demand. Refinance volume is expected to pick up in 2025 as interest rates decline and lenders revamp their refi products to tap into consumer demand.  Rates and vehicle prices also will define sales and pricing trends across the automotive industry as pending tariffs are poised to raise car prices by thousands of dollars. On the EV front, possible changes to federal tax credits could impact sales even as EV prices and battery costs continue to decline. In this episode of “Weekly Wrap,” Auto Finance News Editor Amanda Harris and associate editors Ashley Savage and James Van Bramer discuss top trends impacting vehicle sales, pricing and consumer demand for the week ended Feb. 28.

Petula Martyn reports that 17,459 new electric cars were registered last year, a decrease of 24% in the registrations seen the previous year.

More new cars were sold in Clare in 2024 than in the previous year. Across the last twelve months, 2,399 new registration sales were completed in Clare which is 3% above the figure for 2023. Diesel engines overtook petrol as the most popular vehicle type, selling 738 units, while electric car sales fell by 43%. Director General of the Society of the Irish Motor Industry Brian Cooke says with the start of a new registration period upon us, prospective vehicle owners should look into incentives available to them.

Fresh from hearing that budget deficits over the next four years are forecast to blow out by another 20 billion dollars comes news the Federal Government will help finance $150 million in low interest loans through the Clean Energy Finance Corporation for workers earning less than $100,000 per year, as well as essential workers such as police officers and teachers, to help them buy an electric car. The media release suggesting the move could save buyers more than $8,000 on a $40,000 loan. According to Minister for Climate Change and Energy Chris Bowen, the discounted loans help remove barriers to ownership helping more Australians drive cars that can save them thousands of dollars a year. EV owners pay no petrol excise to maintain our roads, currently 50.6 cents per litre, so why should they also get a subsidized loan – it’s ridiculous.

The New Zealand electric vehicle market has run out of charge. New Motor Industry Association data shows just one in eleven new vehicle sales are electric, compared to last year where it was one in every four. Imported Motor Vehicle Industry chief executive Greig Epps says it's left many importers with excess stock. However, he says hybrid sales, on the other hand, continue to stay strong. "43 to 45 percent of the used imports that we're bringing in this year have been hybrids. Hybrids are a really solid technology." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The demand for electric vehicles has continued its decline.   Last year importers across the country were scrambling to meet demand, and Auckland City Electric Vehicles was awaiting one of their largest shipments.   Since the axing of the clean car discount, BMI Research figures suggest that the total decline in EV sales will fall by nearly 11 thousand vehicles this year.    Auckland City Electric Vehicles CEO Greg Larsen told Mike Hosking that every manufacturer is going down the EV track, and he thinks they may have gone too fast.   LISTEN ABOVE   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Electric vehicle sales figures in Clare are below 2023 levels for the sixth month in a row. Just 46 vehicles with an electric engine were sold here in July compared to 78 in the same month last year which indicates a year-on-year drop of 41%. In 2024 to date, electric sales are down 43% while diesel electric hybrid sales have dropped by 45% but petrol plug-in electric hybrids and petrol electric hybrids have seen increases in their respective sales figures of 64% and 10%. Director General of the Society of the Irish Motor Industry Brian Cooke insists Budget 2025 must bring improved incentives to make owning an electric vehicle a reality for more of the population.

On this episode of Industry Insider, we speak with Blair Earle, managing director of IAA Inc., Canada, to hear how the used vehicle market is affecting Canadian aftermarket operations; vehicle sales prices and more. Be sure to listen to the end to hear a special segment about vehicle theft in Canada and how it is impacting the new and used vehicle sales markets.

Vehicle sales are continuing to plummet.  Data from the Motor Industry Association shows June sales are the lowest they've been in more than a decade.  New registrations have dropped for the fourth consecutive month.  Association Chief Executive Aimee Wiley told Mike Hosking there's a bit of a promising uplift in June for EV sales.  She says with the clean car discount EVs were making around 15% of the share, dropping to two percent in January but growing back to 5%.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AP correspondent Lisa Dwyer reports that new-vehicle sales barely rose in the second quarter.

Sales for electric vehicles in the U.S. and worldwide will reach their highest levels ever this year. But a big sticking point remains. Even with tax incentives and rebates, the price for EVs is still thousands of dollars higher than their gas-guzzling cousins. The Biden administration set 2030 as the goal for when half of all new vehicles sold would be electric powered. The question is, can we get there? Duncan Wood, vice president for strategy & new initiatives at the Wilson Center, a non-profit thinktank, joins The Excerpt to talk about the possibilities and what it will take for this growing market to mature.Episode Transcript available hereAlso available at art19.com/shows/5-ThingsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In Kansas, individuals must pay a 6.5% sales or use tax when purchasing any vehicle that is primarily stored or used in the state. This is paid either at the dealership or at a county treasurer's office. Ultimately, KDOR is responsible for collecting motor vehicle sales and use tax from dealerships and counties. The Kansas Department of Revenue had procedures to help ensure dealerships remit vehicle tax but was missing several key procedures related to county tax remittance.  We saw evidence that KDOR had several procedures related to training and guidance for counties and dealerships as well as procedures related to the  monitoring and enforcement of dealerships. However, KDOR was missing several procedures related to the monitoring and enforcement of counties. One county didn't remit taxes for 15 months, resulting in about $11 million in delinquent taxes. Additionally, KDOR's lack of written procedures means efforts to ensure that individual buyers and dealerships are remitting aren't as effective as they could be. And KDOR's MOVRS database had significant errors, preventing us or them from doing a state-wide analysis.

There is a reduction in sales of new electric vehicles. Jerry spoke to Brian Cooke, Director General of the Society of the Irish Motor Industry, and Eamon Stack from the Irish Electric Vehicles Owners Association, about the figures and what they mean.

Mixed reports from electric vehicle dealers following a further softening of the market.   It took another plunge in March with just 9% of passenger car sales being EV, falling from about 27% for all of 2023.   Vehicle Import Association Chief Executive Greig Epps told Mike Hosking that some dealers are doing better than expected while others are having a tough time.  He says there was a real rush, with the incentive helping to create demand.  But in the aftermath to that —and with cost-of-living impacts and interest rates— we're now seeing a tail off.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
