The 'economist' here at the NAR-always the perpetual cheerleader** (see it's 'peaked')-the one prior to him wrote a book in 2005 then re-released in 2006 just as the housing market topped later that year that was titled 'Why the Real Estate Boom Will Not Bust—And How You Can Profit from It.' They can't spin this as the the refinance index since 1990 graph in cap#1 and then MBA mortgage purchase index

 

NAR: Pending Home Sales Decreased 8.6% in June

 

Pending home sales decreased in June, following a slight increase in May, according to the National Association of REALTORS®. All four major regions posted month-over-month and year-over-year pullbacks, the largest of which occurred in the West.

 

The Pending Home Sales Index (PHSI), a forward-looking indicator of home sales based on contract signings, dipped 8.6% to 91.0 in June. Year-over-year, transactions shrank 20.0%. An index of 100 is equal to the level of contract activity in 2001. "Contract signings to buy a home will keep tumbling down as long as mortgage rates keep climbing, as has happened this year to date," said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. **"There are indications that mortgage rates may be topping or very close to a cyclical high in July. If so, pending contracts should also begin to stabilize" According to NAR, buying a home in June was about 80% more expensive than in June 2019. Nearly a quarter of buyers who purchased a home three years ago would be unable to do so now because they no longer earn the qualifying income to buy a median-priced home today.

...

The Northeast PHSI slid 6.7% compared to last month to 80.9, down 17.6% from June 2021. The Midwest index dropped 3.8% to 93.7 in June, a 13.4% decline from a year ago. The South PHSI slipped 8.9% to 108.3 in June, a decrease of 19.2% from the previous year. The West index slumped 15.9% in June to 68.7, down 30.9% from June 2021. This was well below expectations for this index. Note: Contract signings usually lead sales by about 45 to 60 days, so this would usually be for closed sales in July and August.

Mortgage Applications Decrease in Latest Weekly Survey

 

Mortgage applications decreased 1.8 percent from one week earlier, according to data from the Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey for the week ending July 22, 2022.

 

... The Refinance Index decreased 4 percent from the previous week and was 83 percent lower than the same week one year ago. The seasonally adjusted Purchase Index decreased 1 percent from one week earlier. The unadjusted Purchase Index decreased 0.4 percent compared with the previous week and was 18 percent lower than the same week one year ago.

 

“Mortgage applications declined for the fourth consecutive week to the lowest level of activity since February 2000. Increased economic uncertainty and prevalent affordability challenges are dissuading households from entering the market, leading to declining purchase activity that is close to lows last seen at the onset of the pandemic,” said Joel Kan, MBA’s Associate Vice President of Economic and Industry Forecasting. “Weakening purchase applications trends in recent months have been consistent with data showing a slowdown in sales for newly constructed homes and existing homes. A potential silver lining for the housing market is that stabilizing mortgage rates and increases in for-sale inventory may bring some buyers back to the market during the second half of the year.” Added Kan, “With mortgage rates remaining well over 5 percent, refinance applications are now 83 percent below last year’s pace.”

...

The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with conforming loan balances ($647,200 or less) decreased to 5.74 percent from 5.82 percent, with points decreasing to 0.61 from 0.65 (including the origination fee) for 80 percent loan-to-value ratio (LTV) loans.

US Crude Exports Gain 21% to Hit Record High, EIA Says

 

US crude exports set a new record as Europe scrambles to replace Russian oil supplies amid the superpower’s war on Ukraine.

 

Exports gained 21% to 4.55 million barrels a day during the week ended July 22, according to Energy Information ccAdministration data released Wednesday. Total crude and oil-product shipments also rose to the highest on record. Those strong flows are likely to continue in the coming weeks as the spread between the US and global oil benchmarks continue to widen, incentivizing exports. That’s in part due to US emergency crude releases that have added to supplies, while the rest of the world grapples with shortages.

EIA Inventory Report Pushes Oil Prices Higher

 

Crude oil prices rose today after the Energy Information Administration reported a crude oil inventory draw of 4.5 million barrels for the week to July 22. This compared with a modest inventory decline of 400,000 barrels for the previous week. It also compared with an estimated crude oil inventory draw of 4 million barrels for last week, as reported by the American Petroleum Institute.

 

At 422.1 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are about 6 percent below the average for this time of the year. In gasoline, the authority estimated an inventory decline of 3.3 million barrels for the week to July 22, which compared with a build of 3.5 million barrels for the previous week. Gasoline production last week averaged 9.7 million barrels daily, which compared with 9.4 million bpd a week earlier. In middle distillates, the EIA estimated a stock draw of 800,000 barrels for the week to July 22. This compared with a draw of 1.3 million barrels for the previous week.

 

Middle distillate production averaged 5 million barrels daily last week, which was almost unchanged on in the previous week.

U.S. House speaker Pelosi looks to visit Japan in August

 

U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi is planning to visit Japan early next month, diplomatic sources said Wednesday, amid reports that she is considering a trip to Taiwan in a move almost certain to trigger an outcry from China. Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan, if realized, would be the first by a serving U.S. House speaker in 25 years. The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden has been enhancing ties with the self-ruled democratic island. China has been increasing its pressure on Taiwan, which Beijing views as a renegade province awaiting reunification with the mainland, by force if necessary. During her expected stay in Japan, Pelosi is likely to hold separate meetings with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Japan’s House of Representatives Speaker Hiroyuki Hosoda, the sources said.

 

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s growing maritime assertiveness in the Pacific are among the expected topics of their talks, according to the sources. It remains unclear whether the U.S. House speaker and an accompanying group of Democrat lawmakers intend to stop by Japan before or after a possible trip to Taiwan See above. In April, Pelosi postponed her planned visit to Asia including Japan after testing positive for the coronavirus. She had also considered visiting Taiwan during the trip, according to Taiwanese and Japanese media.

 

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told a press conference Wednesday in Beijing that China has repeatedly made clear to the United States its “stern position” against Pelosi’s potential visit to Taiwan. “We’re fully prepared for any eventuality. If the U.S. side insists on making a visit, the Chinese side will take firm and strong measures to safeguard our sovereignty and territorial integrity,” he said, adding that Washington “must assume full responsibility for that.”

The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. In support of these goals, the Committee decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate to 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 percent and anticipates that ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate. In addition, the Committee will continue reducing its holdings of Treasury securities and agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities**, as described in the Plans for Reducing the Size of the Federal Reserve's Balance Sheet that were issued in May.

Nancy can't even do insider trading right-it was up 7.6% today but they probably did this to create the "see I lost money" excuse

 

Pelosis sold $5M in Nvidia stock ahead of vote on chipmaker subsidies

 

As a Capitol Hill vote looms this week on a controversial, $52 billion subsidy to chipmakers, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband quietly offloaded a chunk of shares in semiconductor giant Nvidia, according to public filings.

 

Paul Pelosi sold the $5 million trove of shares Tuesday at a loss of more than $300,000. It’s unclear whether the couple sold their entire stake or just a portion of it. They could still own as much as $6.5 million in Nvidia, according to congresstrading.com. Meanwhile, the Pelosis still hold a stake in semiconductor company Micron worth as much as $500,000, filings show.

 

The Nvidia selloff is a dramatic reversal for the Pelosis. Paul began snapping up semiconductor stocks in June 2021 — the same month the first draft of the bill was introduced. He bought between $2.75 million and $11.5 million over the past year and has been actively trading these shares the entire time the bill has wended its way through Congress. Just last month as the bill moved towards a vote, now slated for Thursday in the House, Pelosi bought between $1 million and $5 million more in Nvidia shares. The numbers aren’t clear because members of Congress are only required to list wide ranges in dollar values of their stocks rather than precise figures. They can also use more complex financial instruments like options to get exposure to stocks without holding shares.

 

“All this shows is she and her husband are still actively trading,” Walter Shaub, senior ethics fellow at the Project on Government Oversight, told On the Money. “Wait until we see where she puts the money … will she buy more stock and create another conflict of interest?” Likewise, skeptics aren’t satisfied by the fact the couple lost money on the chip stock purchases.

Alphabet has a 60 lease on a large portion of this old Navy Base and it looks like they finally started up the work again on restoring Hangar One-Google signed a 60-year lease on the property through its subsidiary Planetary Ventures LLC. Specific plans for use of the hangar are unknown.

Meta Platforms Q2 Results Decline

Meta Platforms, Inc. (META) on Wednesday posted lower results in the second quarter. The company posted net income of $6.69 billion or $2.46 per share in the three-month period, down 36 percent from $10.4 billion or $3.61 per share in the same period last year.

 

Total revenue fell to $28.8 billion from $29.1 billion a year ago. On average, 40 analysts expected the company to post earnings of $2.61 per share on revenues of $28.9 billion in the second quarter.

 

Looking ahead, the company anticipates third quarter 2022 total revenue to be in the range of $26-28.5 billion. Meta Platforms said that the outlook reflects a continuation of the weak advertising demand environment experienced throughout the second quarter, which is being driven by broader macroeconomic uncertainty.

 

Separately, the company also announced that effective November 1, 2022, current Chief Financial Officer David Wehner will take on a new role as Meta's first Chief Strategy Officer, where he will oversee the company's strategy and corporate development. Susan Li, current Vice President of Finance, will be promoted and serve as Meta's Chief Financial Officer.

C102 US Coast Guard G5 back at Reagan National from Tegucigalpa, Honduras-Toncontin Airport overnight and it looks like this is an extradition flight for Herlinda Bobadilla-see below

 

She and the US Drug Enforcement Administration agents on this flight

 

Honduras Extradites Alleged Drug Matriarch To The US

Honduras on Tuesday extradited Herlinda Bobadilla, a 61-year-old alleged gang leader arrested in a shootout that killed one of her sons, to the United States on drug charges. A US indictment alleges Bobadilla, also known as Chinda, and two of her sons led the "Los Montes" drug cartel -- one of the largest in Honduras. Los Montes is "responsible for the distribution of multi-ton quantities of cocaine into the United States valued at millions of US dollars," the indictment said. The clan matriarch was captured with three other people in the mountainous department of Colon in the country's northeast in May.

 

One of her sons, Tito, was killed in a shootout. Another fled and is still on the run. The trio had allegedly taken control of Los Montes after Bobadilla's other son, Noe Montes-Bobadilla, was arrested and extradited to the United States in 2017 and subsequently sentenced to 37 years in jail for drug trafficking. In handcuffs and surrounded by members of the special forces, Bobadilla was taken Tuesday to the air force base at Toncontin near the capital Tegucigalpa. She was handed over to six members of the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and escorted onto a plane that took off for the United States. She will be tried in the Eastern District Court of Virginia on a charge of conspiracy to distribute cocaine to be "unlawfully imported into the United States," according to the indictment. Honduras is a major transit country for Colombian cocaine and other narcotics headed mainly to the United States. The US had offered rewards of up to $5 million for information leading to the capture of Bobadilla and her sons.

Real GDP decreased at 0.9% Annualized Rate in Q2

 

Real gross domestic product (GDP) decreased at an annual rate of 0.9 percent in the second quarter of 2022, according to the "advance" estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the first quarter, real GDP decreased 1.6 percent. ...

 

The decrease in real GDP reflected decreases in private inventory investment, residential fixed investment, federal government spending, state and local government spending, and nonresidential fixed investment that were partly offset by increases in exports and personal consumption expenditures (PCE). Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased.PCE increased at a 1.0% rate, and residential investment decreased at a 14.0% rate. Change in private inventories was a huge drag in Q2, subtracting 2.01 percentage points. The advance Q2 GDP report, with 0.9% annualized decline, was below expectations.

When you still habs the NYFRB buying Mortgage-Backed Securities to the tune of just under $1B every day-$830m today and they (the banking system) showed up with $2.431B yer gonna achieve a 'result'..you also have the rest of muh Bond market on the 'spin cycle' to the tune of $30-mid $40B**every night as well-and you wonder how rates drop while they are raising prime?....THAT is why

 

US Mortgage Rates Dip to 5.3% in First Decline Since Early July

 

Mortgage rates in the US dropped for the first time in three weeks. The average for a 30-year loan slipped to 5.3% from 5.54% (see above) last week, Freddie Mac said Thursday in a statement. That’s a level last seen the week of July 7. Rates that have climbed from 3.11% at the end of last year are cooling the once-overheated US housing market. Pending sales of homes in June fell by the most since April 2020. PulteGroup Inc., a national builder based in Atlanta, reported earlier this week that cancellations of home orders have ticked up.

 

“Purchase demand continues to tumble as the cumulative impact of higher rates, elevated home prices, increased recession risk and declining consumer confidence take a toll on homebuyers,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. “As the market adjusts to a higher-rate environment, we are seeing a period of deflated sales activity until the market normalizes.” The torrid pace of pandemic-era price gains is starting to ease, with the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller index showing a slight deceleration in May. “Higher borrowing costs have already hit the real estate landscape, and are having a noticeable impact on demand,” said George Ratiu, Realtor.com’s manager of economic research. “We can expect the rebalancing in housing markets to continue and to pick up speed, especially as we look toward the fall and winter seasons.”

I dunno where they seeing 5.30% as the general 30 year fixed mortgage rate (cap #2) ain't been near there at all but I suppose if you say it enough times people will believe it-and that it comes from Freddie Mac-who is at the center of the NYFRB Mortgage backed Securities Operations-since the bulk of those Operations in that area are 30 year Fannie/Freddie MBS

Lt. Gen. Chance Saltzman nominated to be next Space Force Chief of Space Operations

 

Lt. Gen. B. Chance Saltzman has been nominated to be U.S. Space Force’s next Chief of Space Operations.

 

If confirmed by the Senate, Saltzman will become the service’s highest ranking officer and the second Chief of Space Operations in the young service’s history. Saltzman will step into the position currently held by Gen. John W. “Jay” Raymond, who has led the Space Force since its establishment in December 2019. Raymond is projected to retire later this year. ”I am very honored and humbled by the nomination to be the second Chief of Space Operations. If confirmed, Jennifer and I will be committed to building on the incredible foundation Gen. Jay and Mollie Raymond put in place for our service and we are forever grateful for their service and dedication,” said Saltzman.

 

Raymond praised Saltzman and his nomination and paid tribute to the Guardians and Airmen that he has led over his career. “It has been the honor of a lifetime to lead Guardians and Airmen and to serve as the Space Force’s first Chief of Space Operations. I couldn't be more excited about the next chapter for the world’s greatest Space Force and the nomination of Chance Saltzman to serve as our next CSO,” Raymond said. “His extensive space experience and deep understanding of how to integrate space into the defense of our nation have made him indispensable to the establishment of this service and Guardians the world over will not find a more loyal teammate.” Raymond said. Likewise, Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall praised Raymond for his tenure and for the way he built the Space Force. Kendall said that Saltzman was the ideal nominee to build on the Space Force’s accomplishments. "General Jay Raymond has worked tirelessly to create a strong foundation for the Space Force and to set our Guardians up for long term success. Every American should be grateful for what he has accomplished,” Kendall said. “I'm certain that General Saltzman has the skill and the drive needed to build on that foundation, and if confirmed, I'm looking forward to the opportunity to work with him as the second Chief of Space Operations,” he said. If confirmed, Saltzman would inherit a Space Force as it continues its transition from the early planning and organizational phases required to form the first new branch of the military since 1947 to one that focuses more on the Department of the Air Force’s operational imperatives.

 

Since August 2020, Saltzman has served as Deputy Chief of Space Operations for Operations, Cyber, and Nuclear. In this role, Saltzman has overall responsibility for operations, intelligence, sustainment, cyber, and nuclear operations for the Space Force.

 

Commissioned in 1991 after graduating from Boston University, he has deep operational experience with missile and space systems as a Minuteman III launch officer and as a satellite operator for the National Reconnaissance Office. He also served as the first Chief of Combat Plans for the Joint Space Operations Center, and later, as Chief of Combat Operations. Saltzman has commanded at the squadron, group, and wing levels including the 614th Space Operations Squadron and 1st Space Control Squadron at what is now Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, as well as the 460th Operations Group at what today is Buckley Space Force Base, Colorado.

 

Before serving in his current assignment under Raymond, Saltzman was the Deputy Commander, U.S. Air Forces Central Command; Deputy, Combined Force Air Component Commander, U.S. Central Command, Southwest Asia.

During his time in the Air Force and later, the Space Force, Saltzman has earned a collection of notable awards and decorations, including Defense Superior Service Medal with oak leaf cluster, Legion of Merit with two oak leaf clusters, and Defense Meritorious Service Medal.

*aggressive is early 1980s when Volcker jacked them to over 20%-cap #2 and left them-they were over 10% from 1979 to 1985...even if they did that now (no chance in hell) and left them there for 2-3 years it might have the desired result but since they call 1.50% "aggressive" you'll be seeing the result of all this just after the election in November and it's not going to be pretty either-this 'recession' will be declared over by the time Oct rolls around and the recent SPR release (just announced) ends just before the election as well

 

Biden, Warren Throw Powell Under The Bus: "No Surprise Economy Slowing As Fed Acts"

 

Over the weekend we wrote that "Democrats Prepare To Unleash Hell On Fed Chair Powell For The Coming Recession" for the simple reason that, well, dems will never take responsibility for their catastrophic policies which first sparked near hyperinflation and then, when Powell was browbeaten into pretending he is Volcker, sparked a dramatic slowdown in the economy.

 

Well, now that the US is officially in a recession...the Democrats' brilliant plan has sprung into action, with Biden taking the lead and saying in a statement after the dismal GDP print, that “coming off of last year’s historic economic growth – and regaining all the private sector jobs lost during the pandemic crisis – it’s no surprise that the economy is slowing down as the Federal Reserve acts to bring down inflation."

 

Translation: just like rising gas prices are Putin's fault while falling gas prices are entirely thanks to Joe, so the post-covid bounce was entirely thanks to Biden... while the subsequent recession is - well - all Powell's fault.It wasn't just Biden though: Powell's old nemesis, clueless econo-hack Elizabeth Warren, was also out for blood, and in a tweet shortly after the market open, she said that "the Fed’s aggressive interest-rate hikes risk pushing the U.S. economy into recession — and the evidence is in the data. While failing to address many drivers of inflation, the Fed is pumping the brakes on the labor market and slowing the economy." The Fed’s aggressive interest-rate hikes risk pushing the U.S. economy into recession — and the evidence is in the data.(aggressive?...hardly*....)

While failing to address many drivers of inflation, the Fed is pumping the brakes on the labor market and slowing the economy.

 

Congress needs to step up. — Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) July 28, 2022

(and do wut now?)

 

She concluded that "Congress needs to step up" although it wasn't clear if that means Congress should fire Powell or launch another stimmy to undo the recession, even as it pushes inflation into turbo overdrive.

 

As for Powell - and we thought we'd never say this - our condolences to the Fed chair who thought he was doing just what Biden wanted... at least until he got the inevitable recession. And now Biden will find out what polls (much) worse: galloping inflation or millions of layoffs as a result of an acute recession.

Just think how much higher Ag would be had they not attacked it on Monday and yesterday +0.86 +4.48%

 

A little technical perspective on Ag trading-and keep in mind technicals mean very little in a rigged paper-based market but they do use them to trade the COMEX contracts which sets spot prices

Now the technical traders will have seen that this price action has pierced through the top of the Bollinger Bands-see cap #3 (a trading indicator) two days ago-it doesn't mean a lot in the grand scheme of things but those traders look for two major areas: the 200 Day Moving Avg (200DMA) and the 50 Day Moving Average (50DMA) both of which are above $20 (50 is $20.62 and the top end of the Bollinger band is $20.25 so the last few days has allowed that to occur-again not a bid deal but they watch for this stuff on these DMAs to decide whether to be long or short...the 200 DMA (which is the major place they start to make those decisions) is not even in play and won't be until $23.

Just something to look out for as the selling has been exhausted on that drop to just below $18 a few days ago

Apple reports only slight growth in Q3 2022 earnings report

 

Apple reported its earnings for the third fiscal quarter of 2022 on Thursday, and like many of its peers in consumer electronics, the company barely eked out growth over the same quarter last year. Overall revenue was up just 2 percent year over year at $83 billion.

 

The company's services business, which includes everything from Apple Music to iCloud and AppleCare+, was the growth leader with 12 percent increased revenue compared to the same quarter last year. That's for a total of $19.6 billion.

 

But the company still earns most of its money from other categories, none of which grew as quickly. The iPhone earned $40.67 billion during the quarter—just 3 percent more than last year. And all three of the company's other categories were down against last year. The Mac fell 10 percent to $7.38 billion, the iPad was down 2 percent at $7.22 billion, and other products—including the Apple Watch, AirPods, and others—were down 8 percent to $8.08 billion. Of course, none of this came as a surprise to most investors, given inflation, global supply challenges, and worries about a coming recession. In fact, Apple slightly beat analysts' estimates going into the earnings report.

 

Apple CFO Luca Maestri described the current situation as "a challenging environment," and CEO Tim Cook noted that the company is seeing inflation impacting its cost structure. The company didn't offer specific guidance for the next quarter, but Cook said in an interview with CNBC that he expects things to pick up a little bit in the September quarter, "despite seeing some pockets of softness."

 

The company is expected to ship new iPhone and Apple Watch models later this year, and updated M2 Macs and iPads are also possibilities. There have been rumors Apple will introduce its newest product category—a mixed reality headset—by the end of this year, but some reports have indicated those plans may slip into 2023. In light of the economic climate, Apple has joined many other tech and consumer electronics companies in declaring that it expects to slow hiring and act conservatively in the coming months.

Taiwan Fires Warning Flares On Chinese Drone That Buzzed Airspace

 

At a moment of boiling tensions surrounding Taiwan, its military says it chased away a Chinese drone by firing warning shots as a UAV buzzed a heavily fortified island that has long been under Taiwanese control.

 

The Taiwanese Defense Ministry believes what was at first deemed an "unidentified drone" was possibly probing its Taiwan's defenses as it "glanced by" Dongyin island, which lies near the Chinese coast but has been in Taiwan's hands since 1949. "The Dongyin command fired flares at the drone to warn it away, the ministry said, without identifying it further," writes Reuters. "A senior official familiar with the security planning in the region told Reuters that it was a Chinese drone, likely one of the country's new CSC-005 drones." Though a relatively minor encounter, said to be the second such incident involving a Chinese drone this year, the engagement suggests the ease with which a small unplanned incident could trigger bigger escalation, even leading to a shooting war.

 

Considered the front line of Taiwan's defenses, Dongyin island is described as follows in Reuters: It is the northernmost territory Taiwan holds, sitting at the top end of the Taiwan Strait, a choke point through which at least part of any Chinese invading force would have to traverse. Military experts believe Dongyin's forces are equipped with Taiwan's self-made Hsiung Feng II anti-ship missile as well as Sky Bow II surface-to-air missiles.

 

In recent years Chinese PLA jets have flown into or near Taiwan's 'Air Defense Identification Zone' on an almost weekly basis, which Taipei sees as a threat. Taiwan typically scrambles fighters to warn off and 'mirror' PLA jets, however without any kind of firing incident. #Taiwan (🇹🇼) fired flares to warn away a drone that “glanced by” the airspace of Dongyin island, one of the Matsu islands.

This fresh encounter between Taiwan and PLA weaponry comes as the entirety of the democratic-run island of Taiwan is engaged in 'invasion preparedness' drills - an annual exercise - which has a civilian response as well as military components, including emergency alerts and evacuation simulations conducted in cities and towns.
