Preliminary Class 8 order data for September is starting to trickle in and, like the data preceding it so far this year - it's ugly. クラス8トラック発注がことしのこれまでと同様にひどい。 Class 8 orders were crushed 71% in September, reaching 12,600 units, according to Baird and Morgan Stanley. 9月にクラス8トラック発注が71%下落し、12,600台となった、Baird and Morgan Stanleyのデータだ。
This follows a 79% plunge in August.
8月の79%下落に次ぐ悪さだ。
This makes September the 11th consecutive month of YOY order declines and the 9th consecutive month of orders below 20,000. この9月で11か月連続でYoY発注が下落している、また9か月連続で20,000台を下回った。
Class 8 orders are often seen as a pulse on the U.S. economy. Morgan
Stanley analyst Courtney Yakavonis wrote in a note that she expects YOY
order declines to continue into the year's end. But Baird analyst David
Leiker said he was gaining "increased confidence" that a bottom in
declines was likely near - but that's a story we have heard from ACT Research analysts all year and orders just continue to collapse. クラス8トラックの発注は米国経済の脈動と見られることが多い。モルガン・スタンレーのアナリストCourtney Yakavonis によるとYoY下落は年末まで続くだろうということだ。しかしBairdのアナリストDavid Leikerが言うには、底打ちが近いというーーしかしACT Researchのアナリストは年内は下落は続くという。
The blame continues to fall on the trade war.
その原因は貿易戦争だ。
"Little has changed since August with respect to the
freight market and freight rates, while uncertainties surrounding trade
and tariffs continue to weigh on truck buyers' psyches," said Steve Tam, ACT vice president, according to FreightWaves.
「8月以来貨物輸送にほとんど変化は見られない、しかしながら貿易と関税に関する不確実性がトラック買い手の心理に のしかかっている」とSteve Tamは言う、かれはACTの副社長だ、FreightWavesからの引用だ。
Don Ake, FTR vice president of commercial vehicles simply said: "Class 8 orders are stuck at the bottom of the cycle." Don Ake,FTRの商用車部門副社長だ、彼が言うには:「クラス8の発注はサイクルの底にある。」
As of September, the rolling 12-month average for orders is about 214,000.
"All the orders needed for 2019 were placed months ago and fleets are
now adjusting delivery dates and finalizing requirements," Ake
continued.
If there's one silver lining, it is that the slowdown
continues to wear away at the backlog of trucks that are awaiting
assembly. ACT predicts that the number of unbuilt trucks has fallen to 135,000, down from 151,000 in August.
The number of available used trucks continues to rise, leading to
lower prices in that sector. Volvo trucks and Mack trucks are both
taking two down weeks at their Virginia and Pennsylvania factories this
quarter.
Donald Broughton, principal and managing partner of research firm Broughton Capital, told FOX Business in September that in 1H19 nearly 640 trucking firms failed. That equates to 20,000 trucks have been pulled off the road.
In 2018, only 310 trucking companies failed, which points to an
accelerating trend that could transform into a major bust cycle for the
industry in 2020.
"This has to do with the spot market," American Trucking Associations
chief economist Bob Costello told FOX Business. "Those fleets that are
primarily in the spot market are facing volumes that are down nearly 50%
and rates that are down nearly 20%."
As previously reported, we've detailed how a freight recession continues to gain momentum through the end of summer, likely to continue through fall into 1H20.
The Next Decade Will Likely Foil Most Financial Plans by Tyler Durden Tuesday, Jan 26, 2021 - 15:20 Authored by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, There are many individuals in the market today who have never been through an actual “bear market.” These events, while painful, are necessary to “reset the table” for outsized market returns in the future. Without such an event, it is highly likely the next decade will foil most financial plans. 現在の市場参加者の多くは本当の「ベアマーケット」を経験していない。こういう事が起きると、痛みを伴うが、将来の大きなリターンを可能にするために必要なちゃぶ台返しとなる。これがないと、多くのファイナンシャルプランは今後10年ひどいことになりそうだ。 No. The March 2020 correction was not a bear market. As noted: 2020年3月の調整はベアマーケットと呼べるようなものではなかった。以前にも指摘したが: A bull market is when the price of the market is trending higher over a long-term period. ブル相場とは長期に渡り市場価格が上昇するものだ。 A bear market is when the previous advance breaks, and prices begin to trend lower. ベア相場とはこれまでの上昇が止まり、市場価格が下落し始めることだ。 The chart belo...
The Fed And The Treasury Have Now Merged by Tyler Durden Thu, 04/09/2020 - 14:21 Submitted by Jim Bianco of Bianco Research As I've argued, the Fed and the Treasury merged. Powell said this was the case today (from his Q&A): 私はこれまでも申し上げてきたが、すでにFEDと財務省は一体化している。Powell自身がこれに当たると今日話した(彼の Q&Aでのことだ): These programs we are using, under the laws, we do these, as I mentioned in my remarks, with the consent of the Treasury Secretary and the fiscal backing from the congress through the Treasury. And we are doing it to provide credit to households, businesses, state and local governments. As we are directed by the Congress. We are using that fiscal backstop to absorb any losses we have. 我々FEDが今行っている一連のプログラムは、法に基づいており、それを実行している、私が注意喚起したが、 財務長官の同意を得ており、財政に関しては議会の承認も得ている。私どもは家計、ビジネス、連邦地方政府に貸付を行っている。議会の意向のもとに我々は行動している。以下ほどに損失が生じようともそれを財政的に支えている。 Our ability is limited...
