Producer prices also signaled a slowdown in economic activity, rising 0.1% month-over-month in June 2023, below market forecasts of 0.2%. The market is now pricing in a 25 bps rate hike in July which is expected to be the last in the current rate hike cycle.

Last Fri, 14 July 2023, 3 US top banks (international) reported their Q2 2023 earnings in the morning. At first glance, they looked like credible results and the pre-market indicators turned “optimistic”. In the end, US market had a “mixed” closing (see below). DJIA: +0.33 (+113.89 to 34,509.03). Best performing index! S&P 500: -0.10% (-4.62 to 4,505.42). Nasdaq: -0.18% (-24.87 to 14,113.70). Honestly, I don’t think the banks are doing that “well” despite the quarterly earnings data released so far.

LNG vessel Natural Gas & Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Natural gas is an abundant resource. It is cleaner & cheaper than other fossil fuels. Eg. Oil and coal. Its domestic market “disadvantage” - effort required to transport the gas from production sites to market centres via pipeline.

This implies additional effort & costs to (a)&nb

US stocks continued where they left off in Q1 2023, posting strong gains despite a hawkish tone from the Fed. The S&P 500 Index is now up over 15% year-to-date with the US economy yet to show any signs of a recession. The US economy grew at an annualized rate of 2% in Q1 2023, well above forecasts of 1.4%. Consumer sentiment remains strong, while jobless claims continue to tick lower indicating a resilient economy backed by a tight labor market. Inflation now stands at 4%, the lowest since 2021 as energy prices continue to experience a decline. The Fed has indicated that it is keeping the door open to more rate hikes with some members arguing that the current Fed Rate “should be sufficient to move inflation toward the 2% target over an acceptable time frame.
