Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for WE July 28 2023.pptx
Summary:
Stocks ended higher over a week notable for the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s notching its 13th consecutive daily gain on Wednesday, which marked its longest winning streak since 1987. However, T. Rowe Price traders noted that trading was relatively subdued, as the summer vacation season diverted some of the focus on a slew of important data releases, a Federal Reserve (Fed) policy meeting, and some high-profile corporate earnings reports. Growth stocks handily outpaced their value counterparts, and the gains were led by the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite.
Sentiment appeared to get a boost from a series of generally positive economic readings, particularly on inflation. Stocks opened sharply higher on Friday, following news that the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the core (less food and energy) personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index had risen 0.2% in June, down from 0.3% in May, making for a year-over-year increase of 4.1%, a tick lower than expectations and the slowest increase since September 2021. In addition, the employment cost index—closely watched because of policymakers’ continued concern about wage inflation—rose 1.0% in the second quarter, also below consensus and the smallest increase in two years.

Blog – Analysis of the Stock Market for WE August 11, 2023
Summary:
Stocks ended the session mixed on Friday as investors reacted to a report showing wholesale prices rose more than expected in July.
The Nasdaq fell 0.7% while the S&P 500 slipped 0.1%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid at the open but recovered to close up about 0.3%. The Dow was the only index to post gains for the week, rising 0.6%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both lost ground for the second week in a row, falling 0.3% and 1.9%, respectively.
The Producer Price Index (PPI) rose 0.3% last month after increasing 0.1% in June. Economists had expected wholesale inflation to rise, but only to 0.2%. Core PPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, also climbed 0.3%, up from 0.1% in June. The data comes a day after the Consumer Price Index rose 0.2% for the second straight month, a rate nearly consistent with the Fed's 2% inflation target

Here is a look at the stock market for week-ending September 1, 2023
Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for WE August 4 2023.pptx
Blog – Stock Market for the Week-Ending August 4, 2023
Summary:
Stocks flipped into the red Friday afternoon after looking set to rebound earlier in the session, putting the cap on a rough first few days in August as the jobs report's release took center stage and an earnings-heavy calendar continued.
The S&P 500 (^GSPC) finished down 0.5%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) fell 0.4%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) slipped by 0.4% after gaining as much as 1% earlier in the session.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were both down more than 2% to end the first week of August trading.
The July jobs report showed continued cooling in the labor market, as nonfarm payrolls rose by 187,000 last month while the unemployment rate dipped slightly to 3.5%. The numbers will serve as a key indicator for the Fed as it determines whether to halt its interest rate hiking campaign next month.
Elsewhere, Amazon (AMZN) stock was buzzing Friday, finishing more than 8% after earnings beat all around, combined with rosy guidance for the near term. Apple (AAPL), by contrast, was down almost 5% after the iPhone maker reported sluggish sales of that flagship product and a third straight quarter of declining revenue overall.

Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for WE July 21 2023.pptx
Blog – Stock Market Analysis for the week-ending July 21, 2023
• US stocks traded mixed Friday, with the Dow capping off a 10-day winning streak.
• It's the longest run of gains for the index since August 2017.
• Next week investors will be watching big earnings from Microsoft and Meta, as well as a Fed meeting.
US stocks traded mixed on Friday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average eking out a gain to cap off a 10-day winning streak, its longest stretch in the green since August 2017.
To close the week, American Express, oil firm Schlumberger, and advertising company Interpublic Group all reported earnings. More than 70% of the companies that have reported so far have beat expectations, according to FactSet data.
Meanwhile, investors will be watching to see what policymakers announce at next week's Federal Reserve meeting. Many strategists expect a 0.25% interest rate hike, following last month's "skip."
A quarter-point hike to the 5.25%-5.50% range would "more than likely mark the end of a historic tightening cycle," EY Chief Economist Gregory Daco wrote in a note Friday. "But those expecting a fanfare will be disappointed as the Fed will make every (too many) efforts to sound as hawkish as tolerable for financial markets, to avoid an undesired easing of financial conditions."

Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for WE August 25 2023.pptx
Blog – Stock Market for the Week-Ending August 25 2023
Summary:
U.S. stocks rebounded from early losses Friday to finish in the green after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank is keeping its options open for more interest rate hikes this year.
The Nasdaq led stocks higher, gaining 0.9% to finish the week up 2.2%. The S&P 500 gained 0.7%, finishing 0.8% higher for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also rose 0.7%, but fell 0.4% over the week.
Powell, speaking on day two of the Kansas City Fed's annual Jackson Hole symposium, said that while inflation had fallen from its peak, "it remains too high." He added, "We are prepared to raise rates further if appropriate, and intend to hold policy at a restrictive level until we are confident that inflation is moving sustainably down toward our objective."
European stocks gave up gains in the afternoon but still finished slightly higher. Asian equities fell, with the Japanese Nikkei Index tumbling more than 2%.
Stocks sank yesterday despite another quarter of better-than-expected earnings from Nvidia (NVDA). The Nasdaq fell 1.9%, erasing Wednesday's big gains, while the S&P 500 lost 1.4% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.1%.
Dow Rallies Following Powell Remarks
17 hr 18 min ago
After falling early in the session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied to finish higher by 0.7%, or about 247 points, as investors shook off the remarks of Fed Chair Jerome Powell that indicated interest rates could remain high.
For the week, the index ended down about 0.4%, the Dow’s second straight weekly decline.
Boeing (BA) rose 2.8% to recover some of yesterday’s losses on reports it would need to delay deliveries of some 737 Max jets.
Salesforce (CRM) moved up 2% after filings showed it is one of several big tech companies, including Nvidia (NVDA) backing artificial intelligence startup Hugging Face. Other tech stocks helped fuel the index’s rally, including Intel (INTC), which also jumped 2%, and Apple (AAPL), up 1.3%.
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) shares gained 1.4%, making up for some losses earlier in the week following its share swap with spin-off Kenvue.
Nike (NKE) shares gained 1.2%, breaking an 11-day losing streak—the longest in the company’s history.
Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) dipped 0.2%, making it the worst performer of the Dow 30 stocks during a session in which only five components fell. JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Amgen (AMGN) both slipped 0.1%.

Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for WE August 18 2023.pptx
Summary:
US stocks recovered from steep early losses in Friday's session but ended the week with sharp drops as an August swoon continued for Wall Street.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) finished slightly above the flatline, while the S&P 500 (^GSPC) fell slightly on the other side of it. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) was down a modest 0.2% lower after three consecutive days of sharp losses.
For the week, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq each saw losses of around 2%.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury yield (^TNX) fell slightly Friday to around 4.25% but remained near recent highs.
The moves come as investors consider the prospect that interest rates could remain higher for longer after Federal Reserve minutes this week showed the central bank wouldn't rule out further hikes. The next clue on the Fed's next move will come from Chair Jay Powell, who is set to give a speech next Friday at the annual Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium.

Energy Sector - Oil and Gas - Analysis - March 2023.pptx
Blog – Energy Sector (Oil and Gas) Analysis and Commentary – April 2023
Summary:
As both innovators and investors, oil and gas (O&G) companies have an important role to play in the clean energy transition. High commodity prices and growing concerns over energy security are accentuating that role, as O&G companies seek to fund strategies that can allow them to fulfill their societal mandate of securing supply in the short term and accelerating the energy transition in the long term.

Durable Goods and Capital Spending - United States and the World - July 2023....
Blog – Durable Goods and Capital Spending Analysis – August 2023
Durable goods orders missed economist expectations Thursday. It was all due to Boeing. The overall stock market is higher, and shares of the commercial aerospace giant are down, but the economic data doesn’t have anything to do with either move.
July durable goods orders reported by the Census Bureau came in down 5.2% year over year, a steeper decline than the roughly 4% decline predicted by economists surveyed by FactSet. But excluding transportation, orders were up 0.5% year over year, better than the 0.4% gain economists predicted.

Merchandise Trade|Canada| September 2021
Canada's merchandise exports decreased 2.3% in September, while imports were down 3.0%. Both declines were largely due to the shortage of semiconductor chips and their impact on the production of motor vehicles in North America.
Canada's merchandise trade surplus widened from $1.5 billion in August to $1.9 billion in September, a fourth consecutive monthly surplus. It is also the seventh monthly surplus recorded so far in 2021.

Durable Goods and Capital Spending - United States and the World - April 2023...
Blog – Durable Goods and Capital Spending – USA and the World – May 2023
Summary:
A report released by the Commerce Department on Friday unexpectedly showed a continued surge in new orders for U.S. manufactured durable goods in the month of April.
The Commerce Department said durable goods orders jumped by 1.1 percent in April after spiking by 3.3 percent in March. The continued increase surprised economists, who had expected durable goods orders to slump by 1.0 percent.
Orders for transportation equipment led the way higher once again, shooting up by 3.7 percent in April after soaring by 9.9 percent in March.
Excluding orders for transportation equipment, durable goods orders dipped by 0.2 percent in April after rising by 0.3 percent in March. Economists had expected ex-transportation orders to edge down by 0.1 percent.

Blog - Global Mining, Forestry, Agriculture, Oil and Natural Gas Analysis and Commentary – April 2023
Summary:
• Although last month's banking stress has moved to the rearview mirror, commodity markets remain concerned about the economic outlook. This helps explain why precious metals prices have soared, with gold recently topping the US$2,000-mark and silver gaining nearly 30% since SVB’s collapse.
• Fears over recession and potential knock-on effects on global oil demand pushed OPEC+ to curtail production. Although benchmark crude oil prices have rebounded to pre-SVB levels, the cartel may need to implement more cuts if the slowdown proves to be deeper than expected.
• Some key agricultural prices have also eased (e.g., hogs, wheat, canola), albeit mildly, which may help take some heat off global food inflation.
• Despite the banking sector turmoil, BMO Economics has maintained its projection for global growth at 2.5% for 2023 and 3.0% for 2024 thanks in large part to the resilience of the labour market

Blog – Stock Market for the Week-Ending August 4, 2023
Summary:
Stocks flipped into the red Friday afternoon after looking set to rebound earlier in the session, putting the cap on a rough first few days in August as the jobs report's release took center stage and an earnings-heavy calendar continued.
The S&P 500 (^GSPC) finished down 0.5%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) fell 0.4%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) slipped by 0.4% after gaining as much as 1% earlier in the session.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were both down more than 2% to end the first week of August trading.
The July jobs report showed continued cooling in the labor market, as nonfarm payrolls rose by 187,000 last month while the unemployment rate dipped slightly to 3.5%. The numbers will serve as a key indicator for the Fed as it determines whether to halt its interest rate hiking campaign next month.
Elsewhere, Amazon (AMZN) stock was buzzing Friday, finishing more than 8% after earnings beat all around, combined with rosy guidance for the near term. Apple (AAPL), by contrast, was down almost 5% after the iPhone maker reported sluggish sales of that flagship product and a third straight quarter of declining revenue overall.

Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for WE July 21 2023.pptx
Blog – Stock Market Analysis for the week-ending July 21, 2023
• US stocks traded mixed Friday, with the Dow capping off a 10-day winning streak.
• It's the longest run of gains for the index since August 2017.
• Next week investors will be watching big earnings from Microsoft and Meta, as well as a Fed meeting.
US stocks traded mixed on Friday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average eking out a gain to cap off a 10-day winning streak, its longest stretch in the green since August 2017.
To close the week, American Express, oil firm Schlumberger, and advertising company Interpublic Group all reported earnings. More than 70% of the companies that have reported so far have beat expectations, according to FactSet data.
Meanwhile, investors will be watching to see what policymakers announce at next week's Federal Reserve meeting. Many strategists expect a 0.25% interest rate hike, following last month's "skip."
A quarter-point hike to the 5.25%-5.50% range would "more than likely mark the end of a historic tightening cycle," EY Chief Economist Gregory Daco wrote in a note Friday. "But those expecting a fanfare will be disappointed as the Fed will make every (too many) efforts to sound as hawkish as tolerable for financial markets, to avoid an undesired easing of financial conditions."

Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for WE August 25 2023.pptx
Blog – Stock Market for the Week-Ending August 25 2023
Summary:
U.S. stocks rebounded from early losses Friday to finish in the green after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank is keeping its options open for more interest rate hikes this year.
The Nasdaq led stocks higher, gaining 0.9% to finish the week up 2.2%. The S&P 500 gained 0.7%, finishing 0.8% higher for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also rose 0.7%, but fell 0.4% over the week.
Powell, speaking on day two of the Kansas City Fed's annual Jackson Hole symposium, said that while inflation had fallen from its peak, "it remains too high." He added, "We are prepared to raise rates further if appropriate, and intend to hold policy at a restrictive level until we are confident that inflation is moving sustainably down toward our objective."
European stocks gave up gains in the afternoon but still finished slightly higher. Asian equities fell, with the Japanese Nikkei Index tumbling more than 2%.
Stocks sank yesterday despite another quarter of better-than-expected earnings from Nvidia (NVDA). The Nasdaq fell 1.9%, erasing Wednesday's big gains, while the S&P 500 lost 1.4% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.1%.
Dow Rallies Following Powell Remarks
17 hr 18 min ago
After falling early in the session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied to finish higher by 0.7%, or about 247 points, as investors shook off the remarks of Fed Chair Jerome Powell that indicated interest rates could remain high.
For the week, the index ended down about 0.4%, the Dow’s second straight weekly decline.
Boeing (BA) rose 2.8% to recover some of yesterday’s losses on reports it would need to delay deliveries of some 737 Max jets.
Salesforce (CRM) moved up 2% after filings showed it is one of several big tech companies, including Nvidia (NVDA) backing artificial intelligence startup Hugging Face. Other tech stocks helped fuel the index’s rally, including Intel (INTC), which also jumped 2%, and Apple (AAPL), up 1.3%.
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) shares gained 1.4%, making up for some losses earlier in the week following its share swap with spin-off Kenvue.
Nike (NKE) shares gained 1.2%, breaking an 11-day losing streak—the longest in the company’s history.
Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) dipped 0.2%, making it the worst performer of the Dow 30 stocks during a session in which only five components fell. JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Amgen (AMGN) both slipped 0.1%.

Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for WE August 18 2023.pptx
Summary:
US stocks recovered from steep early losses in Friday's session but ended the week with sharp drops as an August swoon continued for Wall Street.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) finished slightly above the flatline, while the S&P 500 (^GSPC) fell slightly on the other side of it. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) was down a modest 0.2% lower after three consecutive days of sharp losses.
For the week, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq each saw losses of around 2%.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury yield (^TNX) fell slightly Friday to around 4.25% but remained near recent highs.
The moves come as investors consider the prospect that interest rates could remain higher for longer after Federal Reserve minutes this week showed the central bank wouldn't rule out further hikes. The next clue on the Fed's next move will come from Chair Jay Powell, who is set to give a speech next Friday at the annual Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium.

As both innovators and investors, oil and gas (O&G) companies have an important role to play in the clean energy transition. High commodity prices and growing concerns over energy security are accentuating that role, as O&G companies seek to fund strategies that can allow them to fulfill their societal mandate of securing supply in the short term and accelerating the energy transition in the long term.

Blog – Durable Goods and Capital Spending Analysis – August 2023
Durable goods orders missed economist expectations Thursday. It was all due to Boeing. The overall stock market is higher, and shares of the commercial aerospace giant are down, but the economic data doesn’t have anything to do with either move.
July durable goods orders reported by the Census Bureau came in down 5.2% year over year, a steeper decline than the roughly 4% decline predicted by economists surveyed by FactSet. But excluding transportation, orders were up 0.5% year over year, better than the 0.4% gain economists predicted.

I have written many presentations and blogs over the years on transforming the public sector. The public sector needs to reform its model including stronger crisis and risk management planning and analysis, creating new a compliance group that ensures all oversight agencies are free from partisan policies, governments need to learn to live within its means, all program spending should undertake a program review, taxation focus should be on tax fairness, policies should address issues like wage reform or pension reform or other reforms.

Merchandise Trade|Canada| September 2021
Canada's merchandise exports decreased 2.3% in September, while imports were down 3.0%. Both declines were largely due to the shortage of semiconductor chips and their impact on the production of motor vehicles in North America.
Canada's merchandise trade surplus widened from $1.5 billion in August to $1.9 billion in September, a fourth consecutive monthly surplus. It is also the seventh monthly surplus recorded so far in 2021.

Durable Goods and Capital Spending - United States and the World - April 2023...
Blog – Durable Goods and Capital Spending – USA and the World – May 2023
Summary:
A report released by the Commerce Department on Friday unexpectedly showed a continued surge in new orders for U.S. manufactured durable goods in the month of April.
The Commerce Department said durable goods orders jumped by 1.1 percent in April after spiking by 3.3 percent in March. The continued increase surprised economists, who had expected durable goods orders to slump by 1.0 percent.
Orders for transportation equipment led the way higher once again, shooting up by 3.7 percent in April after soaring by 9.9 percent in March.
Excluding orders for transportation equipment, durable goods orders dipped by 0.2 percent in April after rising by 0.3 percent in March. Economists had expected ex-transportation orders to edge down by 0.1 percent.

Blog - Global Mining, Forestry, Agriculture, Oil and Natural Gas Analysis and Commentary – April 2023
Summary:
• Although last month's banking stress has moved to the rearview mirror, commodity markets remain concerned about the economic outlook. This helps explain why precious metals prices have soared, with gold recently topping the US$2,000-mark and silver gaining nearly 30% since SVB’s collapse.
• Fears over recession and potential knock-on effects on global oil demand pushed OPEC+ to curtail production. Although benchmark crude oil prices have rebounded to pre-SVB levels, the cartel may need to implement more cuts if the slowdown proves to be deeper than expected.
• Some key agricultural prices have also eased (e.g., hogs, wheat, canola), albeit mildly, which may help take some heat off global food inflation.
• Despite the banking sector turmoil, BMO Economics has maintained its projection for global growth at 2.5% for 2023 and 3.0% for 2024 thanks in large part to the resilience of the labour market

Global Housing Market Analysis and Commentary- September 2023.pptx
Summary:
Homebuilders are walking a fine line when it comes to new projects as high mortgage rates curb demand.
New residential construction, including single-family homes and multifamily, dropped 11.3% month over month in August to 1.283 million units on a seasonally adjusted basis, according to Census Bureau data released Tuesday. That's down 14.8% compared with a year ago and well below the 1.44 million units economists surveyed by Bloomberg projected.
But authorized residential permits — an indicator of potential future activity — rose 6.9% to 1.543 million permits in August from July. That was still down 2.7% from last August. Single-family permits, though, were up 2% from July to 949,000. Multifamily permits came in at 535,000.
The data reflects two opposing forces builders are trying to balance: the ongoing need for new construction to fill in limited inventory and elevated mortgage rates that are hurting their biggest customer right now, the first-time homebuyer.
"High mortgage rates are clearly taking a toll on builder confidence and consumer demand, as a growing number of buyers are electing to defer a home purchase until long-term rates move lower," Robert Dietz, chief economist of the National Association of Home Builders, said Monday in a press release after builder confidence dropped for the second straight month.

Manufacturing Sector – United States – August 2023.pptx
Blog – Manufacturing Shipments and Orders – The United States – August 2023
Summary:
New orders for manufacturing technology in the United States totaled $353.9 million in July 2023, as per the latest report by AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology. This figure marked a 12.4% decline from June 2023 but remained only 10.5% lower than July 2022. Year-to-date orders amounted to $2.83 billion, reflecting a 12.7% decrease compared to the same period the previous year.
Douglas K. Woods, President of AMT, noted that July is typically a slower month for manufacturing technology orders, so a slight drop was expected. However, he pointed out a notable trend: over the last two months, the year-to-date order gap has narrowed during historically slow periods. While job shops have seen decreased orders, other industries that benefited from reshoring or government investments have helped fill the gap.
Among specific sectors, job shops, the largest customer segment, placed their lowest total monthly orders since August 2020. In contrast, metal valve manufacturers recorded their third-highest monthly order value on record, last seen in September 2018, making up nearly 5% of the total manufacturing technology order value for July 2023. Manufacturers of motor vehicle transmissions continued to order machinery at an elevated pace. However, the aerospace industry continued to order below its early 2022 peaks, with hopes that recent projects like the federal government's $1.5 billion investment in communications satellites might reverse this trend.

Summary:
Stocks fell Friday as investors wrap up a volatile week ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy meeting.
The Dow Jones Industrials tumbled 288.87 points to close out Friday and the week at 34,618.24. At its lows, it completely wiped out Thursday's 332-point rally.
The S&P 500 index sank 54.78 points, or 1.2%, to 4,450.32.
The NASDAQ index plunged 217.72 points, or 1.6%, to 13,708.33.
The Dow held onto a winning week. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ both closed out the week with losses.
Information technology was the worst-performing sector in the S&P 500, down nearly 2%. Adobe shares fell more than 4% even after the software firm posted better-than-expected quarterly results. Shares of Arm Holdings were lower one day after its successful public debut.
Auto stocks General Motors and Stellantis N.V. were higher Friday, while Ford Motor was about flat. Thousands of members of the United Auto Workers went on strike after failing to reach a deal with the automakers Thursday night.
Elsewhere, Lennar shares slid 3%. The home construction firm posted third-quarter results that beat on the top and bottom lines.
On the economic front, the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment survey showed one-year inflation expectations dropped to 3.1% in
September, tied for the lowest since January 2021. Also, the five-year outlook fell to 2.7%, matching its lowest since December 2020.
Electricity Analysis - Canada and the OECD - June 2023.pptx
Summary:
Over three-quarters of the world’s total coal-generated electricity is consumed in just three countries. China is the top user of coal, making up 53.3% of global coal demand, followed by India at 13.6%, and the U.S. at 8.9%.
Burning coal—for electricity, as well as metallurgy and cement production—is the world’s single largest source of CO2 emissions. Nevertheless, its use in electricity generation has actually grown 91.2% since 1997, the year when the first global climate agreement was signed in Kyoto, Japan.
However, even as non-renewables enjoy their time in the sun, their days could be numbered.
In 2022, renewables, such as wind, solar, and geothermal, represented 14.4% of total electricity generation with an extraordinary annual growth rate of 14.7%, driven by big gains in solar and wind. Non-renewables, by contrast, only managed an anemic 0.4%.
The authors of the Statistical Review do not include hydroelectric in their renewable calculations, even though many others, including the International Energy Agency, consider it a “well-established renewable power technology.”
With hydroelectric moved into the renewable column, together they accounted for over 29.3% of all electricity generated in 2022, with an annual growth rate of 7.4%.

World Merchandise Trade – September 2023.pptx
Summary:
The global economy faces what at least one forecaster is calling a mild trade recession as shipments from China slump and German factories downshift.
China’s export declines extended into August, though there were signs that the worst of a world trade slowdown may be over for the leading exporter.
Overseas shipments from China fell 8.8% in dollar terms from a year earlier while imports contracted 7.3%, both better than economists’ estimates and significantly less severe than July’s downturn.
Other data have suggested trade may be stabilizing after weakening for most of this year. Exports from South Korea also declined at a more moderate pace in August than the previous month.

Construction Spending and Outlook - The USA and the World - August 2023.pptx
Blog – Construction Sector Analysis and Commentary – August 2023
Summary:
The outlook for US construction of affordable housing is set to change dramatically over the next two years. "Developers see a massive shortage ahead, which threatens to undo the recent progress in closing the daunting affordable housing gap in many US cities," reports Bloomberg.
While interest rates have been increasing, the number of housing projects starting this year has been cut significantly. 2022 projects will typically come online after 18-24 months, therefore construction companies are expecting a severe supply shortage by mid-2025.
This slowdown is supported by statistics from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) which received 506 applications as of May, eight months into fiscal year 2023, totalling US$12bn in Federal Housing Administration loans to construct multi-family developments. This is about half the volume of the same eight-month period in FY22 (940 applications for US$22bn) and less than one-third of the volume for the same stretch in FY21 (1739 applications for US$37bn).
The higher costs associated with inflation and rising interest rates are creating financial gaps making it hard for developers to complete below-market rental projects, resulting in significant delays, says Bloomberg.
Single-family construction starts slipped after a four-month run, down seven per cent in June, while applications for permits rose 2.2 per cent from May, according to the Census Bureau and HUD.

how to swap pi coins to foreign currency withdrawable.
As of my last update, Pi is still in the testing phase and is not tradable on any exchanges.
However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.
The current method for selling pi coins involves exchanging them with a pi vendor who purchases pi coins for investment reasons.
If you want to sell your pi coins, reach out to a pi vendor and sell them to anyone looking to sell pi coins from any country around the globe.
Below is the what'sapp information for my personal pi vendor.

What price will pi network be listed on exchanges
The rate at which pi will be listed is practically unknown. But due to speculations surrounding it the predicted rate is tends to be from 30$ — 50$.
So if you are interested in selling your pi network coins at a high rate tho. Or you can't wait till the mainnet launch in 2026. You can easily trade your pi coins with a merchant.
A merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell them to Investors looking forward to hold massive quantities till mainnet launch.
I will leave the what's app number of my personal pi vendor to trade with.
