Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve seem to have successfully walked the line on Wednesday, delivering their third insurance cut of the year while signaling that may be it. It was all very much as expected, and the markets took it in stride. The message that policy makers are in no rush to tighten policy was a minor flourish that sent stocks to another record and gave Treasuries a little boost. (Bloomberg)

 

Apple offered sceptics some proof on Wednesday that it can thrive in a future already saturated with iPhones by posting strong sales of accessories such as watches and headphones and offering bullish guidance for the holiday season.  The California tech group reported $64bn in revenue for the three months to September 30, up 2 per cent from a year ago, even as smartphone and Mac sales both declined. That was ahead of the median Wall Street estimate for $62.9bn, driven by 54 per cent growth in the group’s increasingly prized Wearables division — comprising watches, headphones and other accessories — to $6.5bn. Net income, however, fell 3 per cent to $13.7bn as operating costs rose from $8bn to $8.7bn. (FT)

 

Shares in Facebook rose as much as 6 per cent on Wednesday after the social media group topped third-quarter earnings forecasts, in a sign that advertisers and users continue to flock to the platform in spite of recent scandals and heightened regulatory scrutiny. Despite all the negative press lately, the underlying business remained buoyant in the third quarter.  Facebook’s earnings in the three months to the end of September stood at $2.12 a share, up 20 per cent compared with the same quarter in 2018, and well above consensus analyst forecasts of $1.91.  Meanwhile, revenues rose 29 per cent year-on-year to $17.7bn.

Amazon.com Inc. cast a pall over earnings season as the effort to get packages from warehouse to doorstep in a single day led to its first year-over-year quarterly profit decline since 2017. Results elsewhere were mixed. Third-quarter income jumped at Barclays Plc, but Anheuser-Busch InBev NV blamed a drop in beer shipments in China and the U.S. as profit growth stumbled. Companies reporting today include Verizon Communications Inc., Nielsen Holdings Plc, Charter Communications Inc. and Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. (Bloomberg)

 

Intel’s data center division returned to growth in the third quarter, pushing the chipmaker’s revenue and earnings above analysts’ expectations and fueling an 8 per cent bounce in its shares in after-market trading.  The recovery followed a six-month retreat as cloud computing customers cut back on capital spending after a period of booming investment. The cloud rebound left Intel with revenue of $19.2bn for the latest quarter, roughly in line with the previous year and well above the $18.05bn that Wall Street had been expecting. The chipmaker also raised its revenue guidance for the rest of this year by $1.5bn, to $71bn. (FT)

 

Top U.S. and Chinese trade officials reportedly will discuss plans today for China to buy more U.S. farm products, but in return, China wants cancellation of some planned and existing U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports. U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and Chinese Vice Premier Liu He plan to speak by telephone today as the two sides try to hammer out the text for a "Phase 1" trade deal announced earlier this month.

Tesla shares soared 20 per cent in after-hours trading after the electric car pioneer posted a net quarterly profit, surprising analysts, issued a bullish outlook, and said its Model Y sport utility vehicle was “ahead of schedule” and would launch next summer.


The Fremont, California-based group’s net profit in the third quarter was $143m, providing huge relief to investors following a cumulative loss of $1.1bn in the first half of the year. Tesla posted adjusted earnings per share of $1.86, better than even the most bullish of Wall Street analysts’ forecasts.  (FT)


Industrial group 3M downgraded its full-year earnings outlook and said weakness in the Asia-Pacific region depressed it third-quarter revenues.  Sales fell 2 per cent from a year ago to $7.99bn in the third quarter — as growth in its healthcare and consumer businesses was offset by declines in its transportation and electronics and safety units. (First FT)

 

There were more signs of weakening global growth in the latest economic data. Factory activity fell to the lowest level in three years in Japan, while the economic expansion in South Korea slowed. Purchasing manager numbers for the euro area showed the region remains on the brink of a contraction, with signs in Germany that the manufacturing slump is starting to take a toll on employment. One bright spot was a surprise increase in the French services sector. PMI numbers for the U.S. economy are due later today. (Bloomberg)


Weekly jobless claims total 212,000, vs 215,000 expected, and durable goods orders declined 1.1% in September, missing expectations.  (CNBC)

Stocks rose yesterday, moving closer to record highs as trade and earnings optimism lift Wall Street sentiment.


Boeing stock continued to slide yesterday and this morning after explosive messages last week revealed a top pilot had concerns about a system on the 737 Max that was later implicated in two fatal crashes.  Several Wall Street analysts also downgraded Boeing, fretting about the fallout from the crisis that has barred the manufacturer from delivering its best-selling planes that make up around 40% of its profit.
 
Oregon’s jobless rate was 4.1% in September, the 35th consecutive month it has been at or near the lowest point on record. And the state is enjoying exceptional income growth.  Yet new data out this past week show employment growth has slowed to a crawl. The Oregon Employment Department reported the state added just 200 jobs in September.  This slowing isn’t necessarily bad news by itself – slower growth is inevitable after any long period of economic expansion. And Oregon’s current expansion is among the state’s longest on record.
  
Yesterday Facebook announced that they removed networks tied to Russia and Iran from its services as it launches new features designed to make posts related to the upcoming 2020 U.S. presidential election more transparent.  The company said it removed three networks of fake accounts and pages tied to Iran and another network with links to Russia’s Internet Research Agency, the group that was accused of using Facebook and other websites to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

US Stocks traded higher last week on the back of some better than expected earnings reports.
 
The U.S. grew more slowly in September and is likely to remain soft in the months ahead, according to an index that measures the nation’s economic health.  The leading economic index slipped 0.1% in September and fell for the second month in a row.  The index fell mostly because of weakness among American manufacturers, whose sales have suffered from sluggish exports and disruptions in their supply chains caused by the U.S. trade war with China.
Coca-Cola shares popped amid a down market after the beverage company’s quarterly revenue beat Wall Street expectations, with healthier options like Zero Sugar soda and smaller size cans leading the way.  The 2020 launch of a Coke energy drink competitor to Red Bull and Monster Beverage in the U.S. market could add as much as $200 million in sales.
 
According to local attorney Jeff Eager and the Eager report, in the last seven years, Bend has experienced as much economic and socio-economic change as many cities see in 50 years. In October 2012, the unemployment rate was 10.1%, now it's around 4%.  The population was around 78,500 then; now there are around 20,000 more of us, all driving on Mt. Washington Drive at 8:30 a.m. each weekday.

China’s gross domestic product rose 6% in the three months to September, the slowest pace since the early 1990s, and below consensus forecast. A slowdown in investment was the main driver for the lower-than-expected number. Investors are looking to a meeting of the Communist Party’s top leadership, due in the coming days, for a possible review of stimulus measures. There is a feeling, however, that officials are allowing growth to run a little slower as they seek to clean up the financial system and deal with excess leverage. The country’s benchmark Shanghai Composite Index closed 1.3% lower in the wake of the data. (Bloomberg)

 

The U.S. is slapping tariffs on $7.5B worth of European goods today.

In earnings news, Coca-Cola has lifted guidance for annual revenues and profits after demand for its eponymous drinks brand and new products boosted quarterly results.  Shares rose 1.9 per cent in pre-market trading on Friday to $54.81 after the Atlanta-based company said third quarter organic revenues rose 5 per cent. Net income climbed from $1.81bn a year ago to $2.59bn. (FT)

International stocks are higher this morning as EU and UK negotiators have agreed a new Brexit deal, leaving Boris Johnson with the challenge of selling the accord to political allies at home. The text of the deal was being shared with national capitals ahead of a key leaders’ summit in Brussels later on Thursday. The UK prime minister is still struggling to win political backing for the accord - raising questions over Mr. Johnson’s ability to clinch support for the deal in the Westminster parliament — an issue that is likely to hang over the upcoming leaders’ summit.  But, reaching an agreed text represents a big leap forward for Mr. Johnson following weeks of inconclusive talks between UK and EU negotiators. Mr. Johnson will ask EU leaders tonight not to offer another Brexit extension. (FT)

 

Netflix jumped double digits in after-hours trading after its Q3 earnings showed a rebound from poor subscriber results in Q2, even while it hinted toward hotter competition in coming quarters. The company added 6.77M net subscribers vs. last quarter's 2.7M, and said forward guidance accounted for pressure from upcoming services such as Disney Plus, Apple TV Plus, AT&T's HBO Max, and NBC's Peacock.  But the potential market is large, Netflix said, and "we are all small compared to linear TV".

Nestle said it will start a new stock buyback program in January and may complement it with special dividends, seeking to return as much as $20B to shareholders by 2022. The news comes as the company also reported YTD sales rose 3.7%, in line with analyst estimates, helped by Starbucks-branded coffee for Nespresso machines and Purina pet food. Nestle also signals it is ramping up its M&A focus as it unveils a new management group to seek out growth opportunities, and says it is restructuring its bottled water unit - where YTD sales have slipped - to focus on faster growing brands such as Perrier and S. Pellegrino. (WSJ)

JPMorgan Chase has recorded its best ever third quarter for investment banking fees, helping the bank to beat its earnings forecasts for the three months and taking the sting out of the division’s recent troubled listings including WeWork and Peloton.


America’s biggest bank was the lead manager in WeWork’s defunct initial public offering and also had a key role in listing Peloton, whose shares fell sharply after it floated in late September.  JPMorgan said that its investment banking division enjoyed an 8 per cent rise in revenues for the quarter, which came in at $1.9bn. (FT)

 

Johnson & Johnson raised forecasts for adjusted sales and earnings for the full year on the back of better than expected third-quarter results, while warning of uncertainty surrounding legal costs.

Sales — driven by growth in the pharmaceuticals division — rose 1.9 per cent year-on-year to $20.7bn. (WSJ)

 

Goldman Sachs suffered a worse than expected 18 per cent fall in net income during the third quarter, with trading emerging as the only bright spot in the bank’s four core divisions.

China’s agreement to boost agricultural purchases and the White House’s decision to hold off on increasing tariffs on the country, sealed with a handshake on Friday, might be enough to keep prospects alive for a comprehensive deal between the two sides, but it isn’t sufficient for a reassessment of the global growth outlook. Adding to those doubts this morning is news that China wants further talks as soon as this month to iron out the details of the “phase one” deal before signing it. A health check for the world economy is due tomorrow when the International Monetary Fund revises its growth forecast. (Bloomberg)

 

Earnings season will provide another gauge of economic strength and an insight into how dividend payments are holding up in the face of disappearing profit growth. For the big U.S. banks, the focus will be on how they’re keeping costs in line in an environment where interest rates remain lower than previously forecast. JPMorgan Chase & Co. gets the ball rolling tomorrow, quickly followed by Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Wells Fargo & Co. and Citigroup Inc. (Refinitiv)

 

This week will also bring updates on two important parts of the US economy, the American consumer and factory sector.  Consumers have driven economic growth but concerns are emerging about whether they may start to curb spending in response to trade uncertainty and slower growth. Economists expect retail sales to have climbed 0.3 per cent month-on-month in September, with so-called control sales, an underlying measure of purchases also estimates to have climbed by the same margin.  However, expectations for industrial production are grim as economist’s anticipate a 0.2 per cent decline overall and a 0.3 per cent drop in the manufacturing component.

Stocks traded lower again yesterday as investor optimism around the upcoming U.S.-China trade talks continue to fade.
 
Optimism among small-business owners fell in September mainly because of the impact of tariffs and uncertainty about the future economy, according to a survey from the National Federation of Independent Business.  The NFIB Small Business Optimism Index had a September reading of 101.8, down 1.3 points from 103.1 in August.  About 30% of owners surveyed said they were negatively affected by tariffs.


The wholesale cost of U.S. goods and services posted the steepest decline in September since the first month of the year, largely reflecting lower gasoline prices and signaling that inflation is likely to remain low.  The producer price index sank 0.3% last month, reversing most of the increase in the prior two months.  Economist had forecast a .1% increase.

US Stocks were lower yesterday as traders have doubts about a US-China trade deal.
 
The U.S. jobs market’s resilience is not extending to wages, which fell in September for the first time in two years, as companies still aren’t ready to meet a tight labor market with higher pay and workers still are not demanding more.  While the September payrolls report showed that the 3.5% unemployment rate is at a fresh 50-year low, it also indicated that average hourly earnings are on the decline.
 
General Electric Co said yesterday they would freeze pensions for about 20,000 salaried U.S. employees and take other related moves to help the ailing conglomerate cut debt and reduce its retirement fund deficit by up to $8 billion.  Analysts said the move would largely offset the rise in GE's pension obligations due to lower interest rates.  GE has been taking steps to reduce the $106 Billion in debt they have on their balance sheet.
A groundbreaking research study released yesterday by Humana reveals that $1 out of every $4 spent on health care in the U.S. annually is being wasted. It's a situation that needs to be addressed by the industry at a time when consumers are grappling with spiraling medical costs.  Administrative complexity causes $265 billion to be misspent annually and the cost of complexity can become waste when clinicians and health plans work separately, despite our common goals.

US Stocks traded lower last week after some weak manufacturing data stoked fears that the economy may be slowing.
 
The U.S. trade deficit widened in August to $55 billion.  Both import and exports increased, but imports rose at a faster pace. August exports of autos and auto parts were the highest since July 2014. Imports of consumer goods were the highest on record. Year-to-date, the U.S. is running a $429 billion deficit, up from $400 billion over the same period last year. Economists expect the trade gap will be a slight drag on third quarter growth.
 
The United Auto Workers’ strike against General Motors could continue for the foreseeable future, as the union on Sunday said talks between the sides have “taken a turn for the worse.”  About 48,000 UAW members with GM have been on strike and picketing outside the automaker’s U.S. facilities since Sept. 16. The work stoppage has caused a ripple-effect throughout the automaker’s North American operations, causing thousands of additional layoffs.

Today’s jobs data may bookend the bad week in markets amid mounting signs of a slowdown coming to the U.S. For many investors, payrolls will cast a deciding vote. A temporary boost from census hiring is has helped non-farm payrolls expand by 136,000, with unemployment at a 50 year low of 3.5% and hourly earnings growth slightly below trend at 2.9%. The weaker-than-expected outcome is likely to bolster the chances of two more Federal Reserve rates cuts by the end of the year. (Bloomberg)

 

HP plans to cut as many as 9,000 jobs as part of broader plans at the computer and printer maker to reduce costs and simplify its business.  In a statement the Palo Alto-based company said that it cut its global headcount by between 7,000 and 9,000 roles via redundancies and voluntary early retirements. That works out as a 16 per cent cut to its workforce based on a total headcount of 55,000 as of the end of 2018.  HP expects to book about $1bn in restructuring charges between now and fiscal year 2022 as a result, but anticipates that the job losses will also generate about $1bn in savings by the end of 2022.

US Stocks dropped yesterday, the first trading day of the fourth quarter, as disappointing manufacturing data stoked worries over the U.S. economy.

 

American manufacturers posted the biggest contraction in September since the end of the 2007-2009 recession, reflecting a slowdown in the U.S. and global economies made worse by a tense trade war with China.  The Institute for Supply Management said its manufacturing index fell to 47.8% last month from 49.1%, marking the lowest level since June 2009. That’s when the Great Recession ended.

Oil prices are tracking higher on reports that production in the U.S. and Russia fell during the third quarter.

Demand growth is weakening, oil supply outside OPEC is rising significantly and OPEC+'s production discipline has recently faded. (WSJ)
