Greetings,
The United States: Let’s begin with the jobs openings report which beat economists’ forecast (hitting an all-time high).
Here is the number of unemployed Americans per job opening. Is stronger wage growth on the horizon?
And this chart shows the Beveridge curve (openings vs. unemployment).
Rates: Here is the path of real yields for the US, the UK, and Germany. The average is near record lows.
Energy: Below is a chart showing the US liquids production over time (crude oil and other fuels).
Europe: Elsewhere in Europe, this chart shows portfolio investment flows into the euro area by sector.
Emerging Markets: Russia’s stock market index keeps climbing. But the nation’s real rates remain too high and will be a drag on growth.
Equity Markets: Corporate R&D spending continues to decline. Some blame the executive compensation structure for this worrisome trend.
Food for Thought: Leading causes of death around the world.
