As Donald Trump's Iran war drags on and hostilities continue in the Strait of Hormuz and Red Sea, global energy markets are being reshaped - not by OPEC or the US, but by China. On today's episode of Iran: the Latest, Venetia Rainey talks to world economy editor Ambrose Evans-Pritchard about how Beijing has weaponised its internal oil demand to keep oil prices stable and bypass Saudi Arabia, even as US Strategic Petroleum Reserves have plunged to their lowest level since 1983. Why have oil prices remained largely stable and are those figures masking underlying economic turmoil?Plus: how the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is pushing Iraq to the brink of total economic collapse and the worrying news of a recent Pew Survey measuring attitudes towards the US vs China.

Canada's housing market is entering a new phase, and the latest developments suggest the next chapter may be defined less by rapid appreciation and more by financial pressure, policy decisions, and changing buyer psychology.Metro Vancouver recorded one of its weakest Julys in more than two decades, with just 2,052 residential sales completed, making it the second-slowest July since 2001. At the same time, home prices continued to soften, inventory remained historically elevated despite recent declines, and buyers maintained a cautious approach even as borrowing costs stabilized. The data points to a market still searching for direction rather than one preparing for a broad recovery.The economic backdrop, however, tells a different story. Canada's economy expanded more strongly than expected during the second quarter, consumer confidence has improved, and retail spending continues to show resilience. While these developments would typically support housing demand, stronger economic growth also reduces pressure on the Bank of Canada to deliver additional interest rate cuts, creating a more complicated outlook for prospective buyers and sellers.Meanwhile, financial stress is becoming increasingly visible throughout the real estate industry. A growing number of Metro Vancouver developers are pursuing legal action against presale purchasers who are failing to complete transactions signed during the market peak. In many cases, buyers are losing their deposits while also facing lawsuits seeking compensation for the difference between the original contract price and today's lower market value. At the same time, major development projects are beginning to experience financial distress, raising broader questions about the future pipeline of housing supply across the region.Housing policy also remains firmly in the spotlight. Vancouver City Council recently rejected the proposed Villages Plan, a sweeping initiative intended to introduce more missing-middle housing throughout established neighbourhoods. Yet only days later, council approved the long-delayed Holborn redevelopment, one of the city's largest mixed-use housing projects. Together, the decisions illustrate both the political challenges of increasing housing density and the lengthy timelines required to deliver meaningful new supply.Nationally, the Canadian Real Estate Association has once again reduced its forecasts for home sales and price growth, reflecting a slower-than-expected recovery across much of the country. Markets such as Toronto continue to grapple with rising condominium inventory, weakening investor demand and development pressures, while Vancouver increasingly faces many of the same structural challenges.Taken together, the latest data presents a housing market undergoing a significant transition. Stronger economic fundamentals are colliding with affordability constraints, cautious consumers, elevated inventory and a development industry operating under increasing financial pressure. For buyers, sellers, investors and homeowners alike, understanding these competing forces has never been more important._________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

This isn't a “good” housing market for anyone. Affordability remains a major barrier to homeownership. Sellers aren't getting what they want for their homes. Now, builders are signaling that the current housing shortage could get even worse. It's bad news for aspiring homeowners, but could it finally put a floor on this housing market correction? This week's headlines highlight how affordability challenges are reaching every corner of the housing market—not just for buyers. A perfect storm of high interest rates, stagnant home prices, and rising material and labor costs is putting builders under pressure, too. As a result, housing starts and single-family home completions have reached their lowest levels since 2020. But could this slowdown ultimately limit how far home prices can fall? At the same time, there are other factors keeping homes off the market—like a potential capital gains tax problem discouraging many baby boomers from listing their homes for sale. Meanwhile, house flippers are worried about another tax coming down the pipeline that could eat into even more of their profits. Everyone's feeling the squeeze, but could these pressures causing the market to bend be the same forces that prevent it from breaking? In This Episode We Cover Why the single-family market correction may have just found its floor Why many homebuilders are building less amid a national housing shortage Whether we should raise the capital gains tax exclusion for homeowners A new tax that could cost house flippers even more of their margins Three issues that are potentially contributing to a stagnant housing market And So Much More!

Send us a question/idea/opinion direct via text message!Residential property transactions across New Zealand have recorded six consecutive months of year-on-year declines. This week on the New Zealand Property Market Podcast, Head of Research Nick Goodall and Chief Economist Kelvin Davidson unpack the latest monthly Chart Pack data, revealing that first-half 2026 sales volumes reached 43,183 - down 4.2% compared to the same period in 2025. We explore why high listing stock and broader economic caution are keeping buyers and sellers in a stalemate, while noting that a lack of distress selling continues to keep the market anchored.The guys also dissect the Q2 CPI inflation release, which landed at 4.1% annually. While slightly above the Reserve Bank's revised 3.9% forecast, the print landed directly in line with commercial bank expectations. We break down the stark divergence within the data: tradable inflation spiked to 4.9% off the back of global fuel pressures, while domestic non-tradable inflation eased slightly to 3.4%. Furthermore, annual rental growth has slowed to just 0.5% - the weakest rate of increase in more than two decades.Finally, we discuss Stats NZ's official roadmap to introduce a monthly CPI release by August 2027, preview the upcoming July Home Value Index, and evaluate why the RBNZ remains firmly on track for an Official Cash Rate increase at the September 2nd statement.This week we discuss:Six Months of Falling Sales: Why H1 2026 transaction volumes contracted 4.2% year-on-year, missing early expectations of a 5% to 10% recovery.Regional Sales Dynamics: Analysing the rolling three-month volume trends, from Dunedin's 7.4% rise to Auckland's 7.8% drop.The 4.1% CPI Reality Check: Breaking down the Q2 inflation print and why headline numbers drive consumer inflation expectations.Tradable vs. Non-Tradable Divergence: How fuel costs drove tradables to 4.9% while non-tradable domestic pressures softened to 3.4%.20-Year Low for Rent Growth: What annual rental growth of just 0.5% means for residential landlord yields.The Path to September 2nd: Why the Reserve Bank is expected to push the OCR closer to its neutral target (~3.25%) despite weak consumer activity.Official Monthly CPI Roadmap: Stats NZ's timeline to transition from quarterly inflation tracking to monthly Tier-1 reporting by August 2027.Sign up for news and insights or contact on LinkedIn, X @NickGoodall_CL or @KDavidson_CL and email ngoodall@cotality.com or kdavidson@cotality.comThis podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute financial, legal, or tax advice.

Oil prices are surging, AI spending is back under the microscope, and a new round of U.S. tariffs is raising fresh concerns about global growth. Together, these forces are driving volatility across financial markets and putting renewed pressure on Asian currencies as inflation risks rise and the Federal Reserve maintains a hawkish tone. In this episode of Market Focus Weekly, Barclays' Mitul Kotecha joins us to unpack the week's biggest market and FX developments. We examine the impact of higher energy prices on Asia's inflation outlook and central bank policy, discuss whether the region is prepared for another wave of tariffs, and explore what's next for two closely watched currencies—the Japanese yen and the Indian rupee.

A bleak attitude towards the employment market could be creeping close to the new normal. A Westpac-McDermott Miller survey for the June quarter shows confidence fell to an all-time low across both public and private sector employees. A net 60% of respondents believe it's hard to find a job – up from 46% last quarter. The Employers and Manufacturers Association's Alan McDonald told Mike Hosking the Iran war's hit people hard, but businesses are having to get on with things. He says if a peace deal doesn't stick, there are concerns for the next couple of quarters. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oil inventories have fallen drastically since President Trump launched the war against Iran. But it's not because we're suddenly using more fuel. Instead, the U.S. is exporting much more oil than usual — to places that can't get enough with the Strait of Hormuz blocked. All this will have knock-on effects for oil prices in the U.S. for months to come.

New data shows how unstable the construction sector is right now, with building activity dropping to a 10-year low. Infometrics says building activity fell 3.5% in the March quarter. The value of non-residential work in the South Island rose more than 8% as Wellington and Auckland recorded significant drops. Combined Building Supplies Co-Op CEO Carl Taylor told Heather du Plessis-Allan consents can tell them what may happen in the future – but only if people spend money. He says it's tough out there, particularly in Auckland, but Canterbury seems insulated from issues. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Over in the US, oil reserves fell by 9.1 million barrels last week as the conflict in the Middle East continues. As of May 22, the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve held 365 million barrels, down from 413 million at the beginning of 2026. US correspondent Dan Mitchinson says experts have warned the reserves are days away from dropping further - and emergency supplies are getting lower.

The US economy added 115,000 jobs in April -- and the numbers look solid on the surface. But dig a little deeper and you'll find a tech sector in freefall, a housing market frozen in place, and consumer sentiment that hit a 74-year low. This bonus episode breaks down the May jobs report, which came out a week late because the Bureau of Labor Statistics pushed its release from the first Friday to the second Friday of the month. The job gains were concentrated in healthcare, transportation, warehousing, and retail. Healthcare alone added 37,000 jobs, driven largely by nursing facilities and home health care services for an aging population. Retail gains clustered in discount stores and warehouse clubs - not department stores or electronics retailers - which tells you consumers are spending more carefully. Tech got hit hard. The information sector lost another 13,000 jobs in April and is now down 342,000 jobs - about 11 percent - from its November 2022 peak. People working part-time because they can't find full-time work jumped by 445,000 in a single month. Consumer sentiment is at its lowest point in 74 years of University of Michigan tracking - worse than 2008, worse than the inflation of the 1970s. One reason: gas prices. There's a psychological outsized effect to standing at a pump watching the total climb every week, versus an invisible mortgage adjustment buried in a monthly bank statement. The housing market didn't get its usual spring bounce. Existing home sales ticked up just 0.2 percent between March and April.

After major staffing reductions under the Trump administration, the federal workforce is at a 15-year low. But now, some agencies are reversing course and talking again about expanding recruitment opportunities.

【聊了什么】 我们在这期节目中一起复盘了这半个月美国政治的几条主线。伊朗战争方向，特朗普的"脱身"与伊朗的"既成事实"之间反复拉锯——霍尔木兹海峡开放又关闭、封锁被封锁、以黎停火让以色列错愕、美军登船搜查油轮，我们试图分析接下来的走向。 国内方面，中期选举的布局已经开始，消费者信心指数创75年新低，化肥和牛肉价格成为特朗普亲自下场关心的问题。我们还聊了国会两党"一换一"式的丑闻清洗（Swalwell退选加州州长、Tony Gonzales辞职），以及特朗普与教皇之间的冲突，以及纽约时报最新披露的最高法院shadow docket内部备忘录。 本期节目录制于美国时间2026年4月18日上午。 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去： 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划： https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter，可以加入会员社群，参加会员活动，并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱：american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 00:46 伊朗局势15天大反转：从停火重启到一触即发 07:16 特朗普想不想打？美方开价比奥巴马核协议还低 10:32 伊朗内部撕裂：议长圆话、强硬派反弹、抵抗轴心动摇 16:47 特朗普绕开以色列宣布黎以停火 19:47 霍尔木兹既成事实：拖下去对美国越不利 21:47 Susie Wiles启动中期选举备战 26:47 共和党的隐忧：选民失望但不转投、信心指数创75年新低 29:53 MAGA内部清算：卡尔森挨打、Joe Rogan被优待 34:40 TPUSA成"反指"：地方选举的意外反噬 42:15 Swalwell丑闻与两党"交换辞职"的潜规则 55:45 匈牙利选举 58:54 特朗普大战教皇 1:07:28 阿利托、托马斯会退吗？ 1:12:54 纽时爆料：Shadow Docket十年前如何诞生 1:18:18 伊朗队还能来世界杯吗？新泽西交通坐地起价 【我们是谁】 美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。 我们的主播和嘉宾： Talich：美国政治和文化历史爱好者 王浩岚：美国政治爱好者，岚目公众号主笔兼消息二道贩子 【 What We Talked About】 In this episode, we walk through the main threads of U.S. politics over the past two weeks. On Iran, Trump's push to extract himself and Tehran's push to establish facts on the ground keep pulling against each other — the Strait of Hormuz opens and closes, a blockade gets counter-blockaded, an Israel-Lebanon ceasefire catches Israel off guard, and U.S. forces move toward boarding and searching tankers. We try to make sense of where this is heading. On the domestic front, the midterm positioning has begun. Consumer confidence has hit a 75-year low, and fertilizer and beef prices have become issues Trump is weighing in on personally. We also get into the tit-for-tat scandal purge playing out in Congress (Swalwell dropping his California gubernatorial bid, Tony Gonzales resigning), Trump's clash with the Pope, and the New York Times' newly surfaced internal memos on the Supreme Court's shadow docket.

Portland venture capital just hit a 10-year low — $69.7 million across 15 deals in Q1 2026. And honestly? I think that's a good thing. Because I've seen this movie before, and the companies that came out of the last downturn include a unicorn, a billion-dollar exit, and several acquisitions.Plus: one of the most active seed funds in the region just changed their name, 300 open source developers are descending on Portland next week for TokioConf, and yes — I talk about pitch competitions.

This could have profound effects on the housing market, and if you work or invest in real estate, you need to know what's coming next. Energy shocks, high inflation, new job numbers, the worst consumer sentiment in 70 years…it's all hitting us in a single week, and the housing market is already reacting. After months of affordability gains, mortgage rates jumped back to 6.4% in response to the oil price spike and, by proxy, high inflation readings. The Fed has already made the bulk of its rate cuts, so is there any room left for interest rates to go down? Home sales are already slowing, and consumers are feeling the worst about the economy in 70 years. This will impact the housing market, and it's not good news for agents, brokers, lenders, or anyone involved in transactions. But for investors, we're being given yet another opportunity to buy deals…and the discounts could be getting deeper. The window to act is widening even more. Here's how to position yourself before it closes. In This Episode We Cover New inflation rate readings and why the CPI rose close to 1% in just a month Mortgage rates are stuck: why they can't fall much more, even with a new Fed chair Latest home sales data that shows how the housing market is already reacting Why more and more investors are getting pessimistic about the housing market Will home prices crash? Here's what's holding them stable right now What investors need to do to prepare themselves right now to get better deals And So Much More!

Crypto markets are facing a wave of negative sentiment as macro uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and regulatory battles weigh on investor confidence. Bitcoin has struggled to maintain momentum as global markets react to rising conflict risks in the Middle East, weakening economic data like the unexpected loss of 92,000 U.S. jobs, and renewed debates in Washington over crypto regulation. At the same time, mixed signals from regulators and traditional finance — including ongoing stablecoin legislation fights, SEC guidance on crypto assets, and continued skepticism from major banking leaders — are adding to market anxiety. With liquidity tightening and risk appetite fading, traders are increasingly asking whether this is simply another shakeout before the next rally or the beginning of a deeper crypto market correction.

Los Angeles renters are finally seeing some relief as median asking prices have plunged to a four-year low, reaching $2,167 in December. This shift marks a significant change from the pandemic era, where rents peaked at $2,262 in August 2022. The confluence of falling prices and new local rent control rules is giving tenants a rare moment of leverage. Multiple analyses confirm this trend, indicating a meaningful shift in the city's housing market. While this is welcome news for renters, the long-term implications for landlords and the overall Los Angeles economy remain to be seen. Could this be a sign of a broader economic downturn, or simply a correction in an overheated market? We'll break down the factors contributing to this change and discuss the potential consequences for everyone involved.

The number of people incarcerated in Missouri prisons is lower than it has been in decades; yet, recent years have seen record-high deaths among those in custody. The deaths reflect an ongoing crisis behind the walls of the state's correctional institutions, say activist ML Smith, founder of the Missouri Justice Coalition, and Rika White, criminal justice policy manager at Empower Missouri. Smith and White take us inside their role in a notable Jan. 14 Missouri House Corrections Committee hearing that featured pointed questions for Trevor Foley, director of the Missouri Department of Corrections, about the state of healthcare inside the state's 19 prisons.

Fentanyl deaths just PLUNGED to a multi-year low.So why does it feel like nobody wants to talk about it?Provisional data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveals fentanyl overdose deaths plunging sharply since early 2024, contributing to a 21% overall drop in U.S. drug overdose deaths—roughly 73,000 deaths in the 12 months ending August 2025.Some credit tougher border enforcement, record fentanyl seizures, and reduced trafficking routes.
