It was a pleasure advising @AnnikaCBrooks on her recent research post on COVID's impact on US Income Inequality. It's also a great look at the newly released state distribution of disposable personal income data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. open.substack.com/pub/annika…

I started this month’s labor market outlook with an opening line that characterized April’s extraordinary amount of economic policy ‘doublethink.’ “It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.” - George Orwell
April's employment report may not reflect the full impact of recent policies, as demand remains strong. However, hiring intentions are down and layoffs are increasing, signaling future labor market effects. More➡️research.natixis.com/Site/en… #Employment #Economy #NatixisResearch

Great webinar in a week's time with @NatixisResearch and @JonathanPingle, who built the data I use all the time that track oil tankers out of Russia's ports, coding up a web crawler to identify their true owners. He's also one of the best payrolls forecasters on Wall Street...

🛢️🇷🇺Russia's oil exports. @RobinBrooksIIF & @JonathanPingle of @IIF have been doing some superb work on tracking the cargos.
Today's the last day at @IIF of @JonathanPingle, the amazing and wonderful mind behind our oil tanker web crawler, which shed so much light on Greek oil tanker oligarchs. We wish you all the best and thank you! If you love data and want to work with @econchart and me, email us...

Today's March CPI is the most dovish we've seen in a while. Our super core (blue) rose from mid-2022 on and stayed high through Feb. 2023 data. This ended with today's print. Super core is the weakest since H1 2022. The US inflation scare may finally be over. With @JonathanPingle

First indications of profit margins starting to moderate - but historically still high for policy comfort. Note high profits particularly in Europe @Isabel_Schnabel V good research @RobinBrooksIIF @JonathanPingle @porszag
Something big happened in yesterday's PMI data for March. Delivery times normalized last year after COVID disruptions (top left), but firm mark-ups stayed high (bottom right). We yesterday saw first signs of mark-ups coming down meaningfully for the US. @porszag @JonathanPingle

Russia's tax revenues on oil are now almost as low as in the Shale oil shock of 2014/5 or during peak COVID. The West can increase Putin's pain by lowering the G7 cap from $60 to $30. That sends Russia into financial crisis. Hard to fight a war when your economy is imploding...

The G7 price cap on Russia is in trouble. The share of western-owned oil tankers taking oil out of Russia is falling, giving Putin the power to sell at the price he wants. Share of western tankers out of Baltic ports is down to 40% from 80% a year ago (rhs, blue). @JonathanPingle

Markets may be overreacting to the banking shock and overestimating the odds of a US recession, says @RobinBrooksIIF. Stabilizing credit could drag down GDP growth. But the US economy depends less than others on the path of bank lending, so recession isn’t a sure thing, he says.

US inflation will keep falling. Measures of supply chain disruption - like delivery delays (red) and prices firms chare (black) - best explain the COVID inflation spike. They all point down, so US inflation will keep falling. US disinlation will continue. With @JonathanPingle

We've flagged a strong disinflation dynamic in the US since mid-2022, with the weight of items in the US CPI with inflation < 2% up lots (lhs, blue). Same is playing out in the Euro zone (rhs, blue), where it'll be even more forceful due to deep recession. With @JonathanPingle

Is the G7 price cap working? 1. Too early to say. There's 2 shocks: (i) the price cap; (ii) the EU embargo. Both started Dec. 5. The latter caused Urals oil price (black) to fall relative to Brent (blue), so that the $60 cap on Urals isn't currently binding. With @JonathanPingle

The Dollar-down trade is popular at the moment, given the view that the Fed is more dovish than the ECB. Forget the Fed. There's only one driver of USD and that's US core inflation, which - after recent declines - is looking very sticky. Dollar weakness is ending. @JonathanPingle
