Global manufacturing has been stagnant since late 2014
Industrial production in US manufacturing has been essentially flat since November 2014; down 0.4% year-over-year in August.
Industrial production in European Union manufacturing has been stronger than you’ve been led to believe, but Brexit puts that at risk.
Industrial production in Japanese manufacturing near middle of 2011-2016 range.
Manufacturing in Brazil has fallen back to cyclical low after small increase.
Only a few countries are routinely setting record highs.
Official data show Chinese industrial production up 6.3% year-over-year in August. “Reality” hasn’t been that good, but has stopped deteriorating.
Overstatement of Chinese growth accounts for most growth in global manufacturing.
This is not a “manufacturing recession,” but price declines (and declines in mining and utilities) make it feel like one.

“The accuracy of an economic vision is not always commensurate with the analytical ability of those who
hold it. Pessimistic visions about almost anything always strike the public as more erudite than optimistic ones.”

US consumer spending and housing are doing fine, but investment and net exports are hurting GDP growth.
Consumer spending grew at a 4.4% annual rate in Q2, driven by: • Employment growth.• Lower oil prices.• Rising wages and salaries (finally).
Consumer spending looks better in real terms than in nominal terms.
Housing is in a LONG, SLOW recovery.• Monthly/quarterly data have been very volatile around a steady upward trend.• Demographics argue for big increase in starts over next few years.• Low interest rates benefit housing & autos, but overall are negative for growth.
Weakness is concentrated in nonresidential investment and net exports.• Big drop in business investment has held down growth over last three quarters.
NET impact of lower oil prices turning positive as drilling turns up.

US manufacturing has been flat since July 2014
Production has been held back by: • Strong dollar, slow growth abroad.
• Impact of low oil prices on machinery and metals.
Only a few industries have been much better or much worse than flat.• Machinery and metals hit by falling oil prices, strong dollar.
• Apparel, publishing in long-term declines.
• Most growth in computers and motor vehicle due to quality & features, not units.
Total industrial production has done much worse than IP in manufacturing.• Mining fell sharply because of collapse of oil and gas prices; up in recent months.
• Until recently, utilities were held down by good weather.
So far, low oil prices have not helped US industrial production.

I still believe cheap oil is a good thing . . . in the long run.
This is a regime shift, not a temporary blip. (Lower for longer.)
In short run, drop in drilling activity offset boost to rest of economy.
Longer-term, potential growth is boosted significantly.
Vehicle sales, travel and hospitality benefit the most.
Japan, Korea, India among biggest winners; US & China also benefit.
Russia, Iran, and Venezuela are biggest losers.
Losses are concentrated; gains are dispersed.

China has held back global growth
China decelerated in 2014 & 2015, but has stopped decelerating.• Manufacturing decelerated (officially) or stagnated (in reality).• Construction contracted sharply.• Shift from export-led growth to consumer-led growth implies big downshift.
Slowdown in China hurt commodity producers and machinery exporters.
Brazil has been worst-performing major economy, but may have bottomed.
Europe continues to muddle through (at least until Brexit).• Those who constantly knocked Europe had unrealistic expectations, or• They’re focused too much on deflation rather than growth.• Brexit a big problem only if “leaders” refuse to do their jobs.

The real issue is slow long-term growth, not recession.
Globally, the story is persistently slow growth.• High government debt slows long-term growth (Reinhart and Rogoff).• Tax and regulatory complexity a bigger problem than macroeconomic policy.• Demographics also contribute to slower trend.• Increased industry concentration may be holding back growth.• Oil prices were at historically high levels from 2003 to 2014.
Disinflation means that nominal growth has slowed even more than real growth.• Growth in corporate earnings is tied to growth in nominal GDP.• For most companies, double-digit earnings growth is a fantasy.
Potential GDP growth is below 1% in Japan, below 2% in Europe, around 2% in US.
Growth in South America held down by bad policies; may be getting less bad.
Growth in China has downshifted, and not as gradually as official data show.
But I still believe that cheap oil is good for economic growth!

Key takeaways
Long-term growth has slowed.
Earnings growth targets need to be more realistic.
Oil prices will stay lower for longer.
Vehicle sales are at or near peak, but not likely to weaken significantly.
Slow expansions are long expansions.Stop worrying about short-term cycles & quarterly earnings;start doing something to boost long-term growth.
