Week 22 News Summary:

Coronavirus Pandemic: As of today, Friday, 06/04/21, at 1:23PM Eastern US, the John Hopkins University CSSE unit says there are now 172,315,808 confirmed cases globally with 3,705,200 deaths, +190,279 from last week, which is +109,551 from the prior week. For the US it is 33,337,659 confirmed cases and 596,910 deaths, +3,065 from last week, which is -1,645 from the prior week. Some states and businesses are offering creative incentives to get vaccinated. For example, California gave out its first round of 15 $50,000 rewards to vaccinated people in a lottery type model. President Biden is pushing for a 70% vaccination rate by July 4th, and Anheuser-Busch has responded by saying it provide a free beer to those aged 21+ when the goal is met. Ages 12 and up are now vaccination eligible, vaccines are readily available, and there will be a big promotional push with Vice President Kamala Harris in charge. The US is also making commitments to ship some vaccines to other countries based on infection rates and logistics.

US Federal Government: President Biden continues to meet with key Republicans regarding the infrastructure development plan and appears to be willing to make some major concessions to make something happen. This week he signaled that the proposed 28% corporate tax rate was negotiable and mentioned a 15% minimum rate as a compromise. Another round of discussions are scheduled for next week. The recent cybersecurity issues with businesses and governmental institutions are becoming a greater danger forcing the government to be more active in assessing the events, chasing down the bad actors, and bolstering security defenses.

US Economy: The US Dept of Commerce said Construction Spending was up +0.2% in April. IHS Markit and ISM manufacturing surveys indicated continued growth, but with concerns about supplier issues and hiring skilled people. The Federal Reserve Beige Book showed that the economy is being perceived as picking up. ADP said the private sector added 976,000 jobs in May, with a big percentage of that being from the Services Sector. These results corresponded with the IHS Markit and ISM services surveys. The US Dept of Labor said the US economy created 559,000 jobs in May, below expectations, but still a good number, and the unemployment rate fell from 6.1% to 5.8%. Weekly initial jobless claims fell to 385,000 at the end of May, another positive sign. Mortgage rates continued to be just below 3% for 30 year fixed mortgages. While potential inflation continues to be a concern for many, the Federal Reserve members continues to say that it is temporary and will moderate over the longer term.

Corporate News: Etsy(PBR921) is buying global fashion resale marketplace Depop for $1.6 billion. Southwestern Energy(PBR818) agrees to pay $2.7 billion for privately held natural gas producer Indigo Natural Resources. Blackstone(PBR441) is acquiring International Data Group for $1.3 billion. AMC Entertainment(PBR983) raises $587 million from a sale of 11.55 million shares through an offering in the continuing saga of meme stocks. Staples offers $1 billion to acquire Office Depot and OfficeMax consumer assets from parent ODP(PBR302). Kinder Morgan(PBR254) is acquiring Stagecoach Gas Services for $1.225 billion. CSX(PBR283) is doing a 3-1 stock split on 06/28/21. Trane Technologies(PBR236) President/COO Dave Regnery is to become CEO on 07/01/21. Chemours Company(PBR512) COO Mark Newman will become President/CEO on 07/01/21. Tyson Foods(PBR71) President/CEO Dean Banks has stepped down for personal reasons, COO Donnie King is his successor. Hillenbrand(PBR779) President/CEO Joe A. Raver is retiring at the end of 2021, EVP Kimberly K. Ryan is named successor. The GEO Group(PBR811) Chairman/CEO/Founder George C. Zoley to become Executive Chairman and board member Jose Gordo to become CEO on 07/01/21.

Society: It was a relatively quiet week, starting Monday with Memorial Day being commemorated across the US.

International News: Longtime Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to struggle to build a coalition government and is in danger of losing his position. June 4th marked the 22nd anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Incident in China.

US Stock Exchanges Week 21 and May 2021 Summary:

The Stock Market Bull made a determined charge and had a good day at the pasture on Monday. The Stock Market Bear attempted a rather half-hearted but nevertheless moderately successful day on Tuesday. The rest of the week The Stock Market Bull prevailed, not dramatically, more like a relaxed grazing time with The Stock Market Bear out of sight, who was more occupied with making plans for the 3 day Memorial Day weekend. The Stock Market Bull gets an easy 3-0 win for Week 21, but has to settle for a mixed 2-1 result for May.

US Stock Exchanges Week 21 Summary:

The Stock Market Bull made a determined charge and had a good day at the pasture on Monday. The Stock Market Bear attempted a rather half-hearted but nevertheless moderately successful day on Tuesday. The rest of the week The Stock Market Bull prevailed, not dramatically, more like a relaxed grazing time with The Stock Market Bear out of sight, who was more occupied with making plans for the 3 day Memorial Day weekend. The Stock Market Bull gets an easy 3-0 win for Week 21, but has to settle for a mixed 2-1 result for May.

Week 21 News Summary:

Coronavirus Pandemic: As of today, Friday, 05/28/21, at 2:20PM Eastern US, the John Hopkins University CSSE unit says there are now 169,148,029 confirmed cases globally with 3,514,921 deaths, +80,728 from last week, which is -4,513 from the prior week. For the US it is 33,234,714 confirmed cases and 593,845 deaths, +4,710 from last week, which is +648 from the prior week. Over 50% of US adults are now fully vaccinated. Vaccines are readily available across the US for ages 12 and up. Many poorer countries continue to struggle to get vaccines and have higher infection rates. There is some talk about needing booster shots in the future to counter COVID-19 variants and some pharmaceuticals are gearing up development. The cause of the initial outbreak in China is once again making news, with the US and the World Health Organization talking about putting together a commission to determine the source.

US Federal Government: US President Joe Biden’s administration’s revised $1.7 billion infrastructure development plan has been met with a Republican counter proposal for $928 billion. President Biden has also offered up a proposed $6 trillion US budget for the 2022 fiscal year and which will most assuredly also meet resistance.

US Economy: The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago reports that the US National Activity Index for April is at +0.24, indicating moderate economic growth. New Family Home Sales for April dropped 5.9% from March to an annual rate of 863,000 homes. FreddieMac said the average 30 Year Fixed Mortgage Rate dropped to 2.95% with 0.7 points/fees.

The TrueCar forecast for May New Auto Sales is at 1,509,221 units, a 35.8% increase over the previous year. The Conference Board Preliminary May Consumer Confidence Index is at 117.2, a slight drop from April, and approaching pre-pandemic levels. US Weekly Initial Job Claims took a nice dip to 406,000 for the week ending 05/22/21. The 2nd estimate of the US Annual Real Gross Domestic Product for 1Q21 remained at +6.4%. The US April Personal Annual Income Rate is at $21.195 trillion, a drop of 13.1% from March, an effect caused by stimulus checks having been paid in March. The American Automobile Association says the average price for a gallon of regular gas on 05/28/21 is at $3.044, it was $1.972 on 05/29/20. The US Treasury says the US National Debt on 05/25/21 was at $28.188 trillion, it was $25.752 trillion on 05/31/20. On 05/28/21 the yield on a 10 Year US Treasury Note is at 1.58%, it was 0.65% on 05/29/20. On 05/28/21 it would cost $1.2195 to buy a Euro. The University of Michigan Final May Consumer Sentiment Index is at 82.9, April was at 88.3, May 2020 was at 72.3.

Corporate News: Cabot Oil & Gas(PBR956) and Cimarex Energy(PBR939) to merge in an all stock deal, will create a new company with an enterprise value of $17 billion. IAC(PBR698) completes spin-off of its Vimeo unit as an independent public company. Amazon(PBR2) to acquire MGM for $8.45 billion. Amazon(PBR2) announces Andy Jassy will become its CEO on 07/05/21, succeeds Jeff Bezos who becomes Executive Chairman.  Mondelez(PBR102) to acquire Greece-based Chipita for $2 billion. There were some initial public offerings during the week. Airlines are seeing increased passenger traffic, cruise lines announced some summer voyages departure dates, and theme parks are opening as the COVID-19 pandemic starts to subside and more relaxed rules are implemented.

Society: It was a relatively quiet week, which included the 1 year remembrance of the death of George Floyd on 05/25/20 by a Minneapolis policeman who has since been convicted.

International News: The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has held so far with more details being worked out. US President Biden and Russia President Putin have agreed to meet in Geneva, Switzerland, on 06/16/21 to discuss relations between the two countries. The Russian government continues to deny it has anything to do with cyberattacks on US organizations.

US Stock Exchanges Week 20 Summary:

Week 20 was almost a duplicate of Week 19. The Stock Market Bear came out strong again on the first 3 days. But The Stock Market Bull decided to show up at the pasture and took Thursday in a big way, especially the NASDAQ. Friday was a split with The Stock Market Bull taking only the DJIA. The Thursday win by a large margin on Thursday by The Stock Market Bull spoils The Stock Market Bear‘s effort to ace 2 weeks in a row. Week 20 was a lot less volatile than Week 19 and The Stock Market Bear has to settle for a 2-1 mixed result. Week 21 will be the last week for May and unless something dramatic happens, May will probably end with a mixed result as well.

Week 20 News Summary:

Coronavirus Pandemic: As of today, Friday, 05/21/21, at 2:21PM Eastern US, the John Hopkins University CSSE unit says there are now 165,713,514 confirmed cases globally with 3,434,193 deaths, +85,241 from last week, which is -2,728 from the prior week. For the US it is 33,079,478 confirmed cases and 589,135 deaths, +4,062 from last week, which is -207 from the prior week. Vaccines are readily available, there is really no excuse to not get vaccinated unless your personal beliefs are against such vaccinations. The CDC’s lowering recommendations for using masks has caused some confusion. India and Brazil cases and deaths rise again in the week.

US Federal Government: US President Joe Biden’s administration has lowered the proposed infrastructure development plan from $1.9 trillion to $1.7 trillion in an effort to get enough Republicans to accept the plan.

US Economy: The Federal Open Market Committee released the minutes of its late April meeting. Inflation, short term interest rates adjustments, and bond buying programs generated a lot more discussion than in previous sessions. The Federal Reserve also indicated that it will be making some comments about digital currencies in the next few months. Weekly initial jobless claims took another downward dip to 444,000, the lowest since the start of the pandemic, but above the around 250,000 before the pandemic. The housing starts annual rate indicated a disappointing drop, but permits issued were up. The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index held steady in spite of increased costs for lumber and other materials. FreddieMac said the average 30 year fixed mortgage rate rose slightly to 3.0% with 0.6 points and fees. The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia manufacturing survey was lower, but still well into positive territory, a similar result for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The Conference Board leading economic index took a nice +1.6% jump in April. The National Association of Realtors said April existing home sales fell 2.7% from March to a 5.85 million annual rate.

Corporate Business: It is the tail end of 1Q21 corporate earnings reports and they were generally mixed. Share buyback programs are being reinstituted by several companies. IPOs continue to be popular and some were launched during the week. Ford debuts its all electric F-150 truck and announces a joint venture for 2 batteries factories. Mergers and acquisitions seemed to make a jump in the week as well, especially among tech companies.

Society: It was another quiet week, with much of the news still being on COVID-19 vaccination efforts and cautious optimism as the economy continues to reopen.

International News: A ceasefire was agreed to between Israel and Hamas, but details were still being worked out. As mentioned earlier, India, Brazil and some other countries continue to see a rise in COVID-19 cases.
