US Industrial Production Unexpectedly Drops In March (After Huge Upward Revision For Feb) At first glance the 0.5% MoM decline in US Industrial production (considerably worse than than the 0.1% MoM rise expected - and dragging YoY growth in IP down to +0.74%) is bad news... suggesting immediate impacts from the war are being felt and sparking headlines decrying President Trump's actions.

US Industrial Production Unexpectedly Drops In March (After Huge Upward Revision For Feb) At first glance the 0.5% MoM decline in US Industrial production (considerably worse than than the 0.1% MoM rise expected - and dragging YoY growth in IP down to +0.74%) is bad news... suggesting immediate impacts from the war are being felt and sparking headlines decrying President Trump's actions. Source: Bloomberg However, while we agree that the decline is notable, the fact that February's data was revised drastically higher, from +0.2% to +0.7% MoM, means that over the two months, industrial production overall is actually higher (and up 0.2% since the end of the war)... Source: Bloomberg Energy was behind the slowdown: March oil and gas drilling posted a decline of 2.4% m/m after rising 0.6% in Feb., Federal Reserve data show. March consumer energy products was decline of 2.1% m/m after rising 2.3% in Feb. March commercial energy products declined 0.3% m/m after increasing 0.8% in Feb. . A similar picture evolves for Manufacturing production which fell 0.1% MoM in March (worse than the 0.1% MoM rise expected) after February's 0.2% MoM rise was revised up 2x to a 0.4% MoM rise. Nevertheless, Manufacturing production YoY slowed to just 0.5%... Source: Bloomberg Bottom Line: it's not great news that industrial production is slowing... but it's not as dire as it looks at first glance (and remember Manufacturing PMIs were strong)... ...and energy production is unpredictable at best in the current environment.

A Bank of America Corp. investment-grade bond sale got underway on Thursday, adding to a bevy of offerings by major Wall Street lenders this week.

A Bank of America Corp. investment-grade bond sale got underway on Thursday, adding to a bevy of offerings by major Wall Street lenders this week. The offering is in as many as five parts, ranging in maturity from four to 11 years, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter. The longest tranche, a subordinated note, is offered at a premium of about 1.40 percentage point to Treasuries, according to the person, who asked not to be identified because discussions are private. Proceeds of the deal are for general corporate purposes, said the person. The second-largest US bank raised $7 billion via a high-grade debt sale in early February. This week’s projected $40 billion of investment-grade bond sales has already been surpassed, led by Wall Street banks. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. kicked off the sector’s latest round of deals on Monday, followed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Morgan Stanley . So far, the group has raised a combined $26.5 billion following their earnings reports. Bank of America’s quarterly results beat estimates after its equity-trading unit delivered record revenue, with market volatility driving earnings to a near two-decade high.

rlesyk/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis Let me start by saying that I am reiterating Barrick Mining ( B ) with a Strong Buy. And this time, I am doing so but for a different reason. In my previous piece , I said that Barrick checked all my boxes. Well, I still believe so. The difference now is that the next leg of upside does not need to come from another Fourmile headline. Or from a fresh gold spike alone. B has now moved from talking about value creation to actively preparing for it. And I say this because B's board has decided to move forward with preparations for an IPO of Barrick's North American gold assets. The proposed NewCo is expected to be anchored by Nevada Gold Mines, Pueblo Viejo and Barrick's wholly owned Fourmile discovery. All this while Barrick keeps a controlling interest. In my opinion, this move changes the valuation story in a big way. This is because the market usually discounts complexity. And Barrick is finally giving investors a cleaner way to price its best neighborhood. This is why I think my current thesis is even stronger today than it was in the prior article. Since later 2025, Barrick has been advancing the North America IPO plan. It has also resolved its dispute with Mali and also restarted the path forward with Loulo Gounkoto. I also note that B has formalized dividend framework that targets 50% of attributable FCFs. And this can be evidenced by the $0.42 dividend that it recently announced. As if that is not enough, the company has also repurchased $1.5 Bn worth of stock. This is after finishing the year with $6.7Bn in cash and a $2Bn in net cash position. In my view, this is a company with a strong balance sheet, a visible catalyst and enough cash generation to keep rewarding shareholders while the market catches up. I am saying this because mining investors do not get to eat today and still keep dessert for later. But for Barrick, it is one of the rare cases where that is happening. Given that I discussed the business pr...

Sharp swings in stock prices are often a signal of investor uncertainty and volatility.

Sharp swings in stock prices are often a signal of investor uncertainty and volatility. It's not until things settle down and stocks establish some price direction that we can get a sense of whether it's recovery or reaction. The STOXX Europe 600 index just had one of those stretches. After declining around 12% over a roughly one-month period, the index shot higher by 3.9% on April 8. As of April 14, the index is back to within 2% of its highs. Which one is more reflective of the state of the markets, the sharp decline or the quick recovery? If it's the latter, is this a sustainable uptrend? Continue reading
