ACT Research: US Trailer Orders Are Easing, While Production Remains RobustIan McGriff
US trailer orders have decreased significantly since November 2018, with net orders down 37% so far in 2019 compared to the previous year. However, trailer production remains high, as order boards are filled into nearly the end of the year. The lower orders reflect trailer manufacturers being cautious in opening order books for 2020 rather than decreased demand from fleets. Additionally, cancellations have risen recently despite cancellation fees being implemented. ACT Research expects strong trailer production to continue through 2019, but manufacturers may still face issues with components, materials, and staffing.

The document analyzes recent trends in actual cash values (ACVs) as estimated by Autosource. Through statistical analysis of ACV data and a literature review, it aims to identify key drivers of ACV trends and ensure valuations accurately reflect market prices. The research found ACVs closely mirrored used vehicle market prices and macroeconomic factors. Specifically, ACVs correlated with consumer price inflation and fluctuations in the Canadian dollar. The analysis revealed some vehicle clusters, consisting mainly of older domestic or import brands, performed differently than the ACV model predicted. Overall the study confirmed Autosource ACV trends are reliable proxies for underlying used vehicle market conditions.

It identifies 5 key trends: 1) ports adapting infrastructure to accommodate larger ships with higher TEU capacities, 2) the logistics sector exploring alternatives like rail-served inland ports to address long-haul trucker shortages, 3) uncertainty around trade agreements and their potential impact on the US trade deficit and export volumes, 4) actions ocean carriers may take in response to the 2020 regulation change requiring lower sulfur fuels, and 5) how short-sea shipping can help create a more efficient supply chain as larger vessels cause operational issues at major ports.
Brunswick Corporation used a big data pilot project to better understand declining sales of its Express Cruiser boat models. The project analyzed 14 years of boat registration data along with dozens of US macroeconomic variables. It found that Express Cruiser sales strongly depend on lending conditions, and recommended Brunswick monitor the marine lending market. The pilot accurately forecasted 2014-2018 sales. Brunswick plans to use additional big data projects for quick wins but not long-term forecasting. Its next project will identify the best-selling boat accessories by location and season to increase profits.

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?
Confirmation of Payee (CoP) is a vital security measure adopted by financial institutions and payment service providers. Its core purpose is to confirm that the recipient’s name matches the information provided by the sender during a banking transaction, ensuring that funds are transferred to the correct payment account.
Confirmation of Payee was built to tackle the increasing numbers of APP Fraud and in the landscape of UK banking, the spectre of APP fraud looms large. In 2022, over £1.2 billion was stolen by fraudsters through authorised and unauthorised fraud, equivalent to more than £2,300 every minute. This statistic emphasises the urgent need for robust security measures like CoP. While over £1.2 billion was stolen through fraud in 2022, there was an eight per cent reduction compared to 2021 which highlights the positive outcomes obtained from the implementation of Confirmation of Payee. The number of fraud cases across the UK also decreased by four per cent to nearly three million cases during the same period; latest statistics from UK Finance.
In essence, Confirmation of Payee plays a pivotal role in digital banking, guaranteeing the flawless execution of banking transactions. It stands as a guardian against fraud and misallocation, demonstrating the commitment of financial institutions to safeguard their clients’ assets. The next time you engage in a banking transaction, remember the invaluable role of CoP in ensuring the security of your financial interests.

COLUMBUS, IN – ACT Research released the July installment of the ACT Freight Forecast, U.S. Rate
and Volume OUTLOOK covering the truckload, intermodal, LTL and last mile sectors.
ACT Research maintained its view that truckload and intermodal contract rates will fall this year due to
overcapacity and weak freight demand.
Tim Denoyer, ACT Research’s Vice President and Senior Analyst, said, “It’s a good news/bad news report
this month. The bad news is we’re in a freight recession and the factors we focus on tell us spot rates are
headed still lower near-term, but that’s been going on for a while. The good news is that for the first time
this cycle, we see evidence on the horizon for an eventual bottoming and upturn in spot truckload rates,
thanks to low new truck orders and improving capital discipline from the trucking industry.”
Denoyer added, “The Truckload Rate Gauge
is currently signaling significant overcapacity,
favoring shippers in rate negotiations. But
based on our expectation for a decline in U.S.
Class 8 tractor build rates later in the year, the
supply side should begin to improve.”
The Truckload Rate Gauge is our measure of
industry supply/demand, balancing changes
in the number of active trucks and the amount
of available freight. The “Current” gauge gives
us a good directional feel for spot today and
contract in about six months, and the “Six
Months Out” gauge tells us about spot in six
months and contract in about a year.
The ACT Freight Forecast provides quarterly
forecasts for the direction of volumes and
contract rates through 2020 and annual forecasts through 2021 for the truckload, less-than-truckload and
intermodal segments of the transportation industry. For the truckload spot market, the report provides
forecasts for the next twelve months. For more information about ACT’s Freight Forecast, U.S. Rate and
