Fireside Charts 10.3.18

by : BCM Investment Team | POSTED: Oct03, 2018 | CATEGORY: Fireside Charts, Equity, Economics, Market Highlights

The Agriculture Economy Barometer declined further in September as U.S. farmers continue to suffer from the effects of retaliatory tariffs. Major automakers reported negative sales last month compared to September 2017. What will happen if tariffs rise to 25% in 2019?  Italy’s debt is 132% of their GDP. In honor of Tencent’s U.S. IPO announcement, we share streaming music revenues since 2016.

1. Is another devaluation in the works?  If the Trump Administration enacts tariffs on all Chinese imports, this is a potent response. Either way, a stronger USD will widen our trade deficit with China! Source: WSJ Daily Shot; As of 101/18

2. We have been blogging about this for weeks... Source: WSJ Daily Shot, As of 10/3/18

3. If the renegotiated NAFTA trade agreement, now being called the USMCA, is such a "success", then why keep the steel & aluminum tariffs on your two neighbors? (and thus the retaliatory tariffs on our farmers)... 

4. And here are the effects of the trade war on the auto industry. 

5. This can help drive inflation higher...energy permeates our lives...we can't drive, heat/cool our homes/offices, make or transport goods or much of anything without energy. 

6. In addition to their budget deficit, this is the issue with Italy. They will likely need to restructure their debt... 

7. Some great info on Emerging Markets. For an expanded view of this chart, click here. 

8. This makes sense...rates are much lower outside the U.S. Source: WSJ Daily Shot, As of 10/2/18

9. Part of our concern about the FED making an aggregate policy mistake by raising too far, too fast. 

10. Smart move or whip-saw set-up? 

11. To wit... 

12. Over 80% of IPOs don't make a profit?! Wall Street at its worst? Will we ever learn? 

13. Tencent announced its U.S. IPO today... 

This past Sunday, the United States and Canada reached a new NAFTA deal: The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Free trade advocates lauded increased access to Canada’s protected dairy market but, on the flip side, protectionism within the North American auto industry increased. However, this does not mean the trade war is over just yet… do not let this progress cover up what is happening in China.
