1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: Shane Solly, Harbor Asset Management, Shane good evening. Yeay, right, 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,439 Speaker 1: another mixed update from the warehouse. 3 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, look, another tough thirteen weeks. This is thirteen weeks 4 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 2: odd number on a to the second. In November they 5 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 2: salved there were six hundred and seventy four million. That 6 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 2: was on the zero point nine percent on the previous 7 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 2: corresponding period. If we strip out the number of stores 8 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 2: are open and the number of different days, it was 9 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 2: pretty much flat plus zero point one. So pretty tough. 10 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 2: Salor's environment is continuing for the warehouse. The red seed 11 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 2: margins down a little bit, obviously very competitive out there. 12 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 2: They did announce a costs reset program. They're aiming to 13 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 2: reduce their cost of doing business to below thirty one 14 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 2: percent of sales, down from thirty two point two. But 15 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 2: the market was a bit weirre about it. Sheprice that 16 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 2: we ship plosed down on zero point six percent to 17 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 2: seventy nine seventy nine a half ashes there. 18 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: Ron Now the psize still well. That the warehouse might 19 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: have groceries to sell soon, We'll have to wait and 20 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: see about that. Hey, the p sign number we got today, 21 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: so we've got manufacturing on Friday, that's now positive territory great, 22 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: but the PSI is still not a bit better but 23 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: still contracting. 24 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 2: That's right. So performance of Services Index, it measures monthly 25 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 2: the survey of the services industry. It's really indicator on activity. 26 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 2: If it's about fifty, it means it's expanding this below 27 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 2: to debts contracting. It increased on the October month, that 28 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: went up to forty eight point seven, up zero point four, 29 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 2: so up, but still because it's below fifty, it's still 30 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 2: indicates that sector is still in tough times. It's still contracting. 31 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 2: And you're right, if we combine the services index with 32 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 2: that more positive manufacturing index last week, we're starting to 33 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 2: get to the point rund where we're getting some positive indicators. 34 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 2: The combo of the two suggesced we get economic growth 35 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 2: starting to come through. 36 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: Right, We're looking very busy week for mark and we're 37 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: both here and internationally as well. What are you looking 38 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,279 Speaker 1: for that in video result will be good, Yeah, that will. 39 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: Be a really important way. So we've gone into this 40 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 2: week pretty nervous markets for pretty weak last week in 41 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 2: inconductor manufacturer and videos results out Wednesday in the US 42 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 2: Thursday morning, New Zealand Time and that it provides some 43 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: real fuel for this AI investment theme. As I said 44 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 2: last week, the US share markers were dragged down by 45 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: this tech sector. So really important that in video comes 46 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 2: out with an okay sort of an update. In fact 47 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 2: day is probably not going to be enough, will have 48 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: to be a good update. We've also got the reopening 49 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: of the US government data coming through other shutdowns closed 50 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 2: from shutdowns open, I should say, so this will give 51 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: us some more information as to whether there's inflation data 52 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: that stops the US Federal Reserve from cutting rates, remembering 53 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 2: the markers expecting the feed to keep cutting rights by 54 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 2: about three quarters of a percent. And so on Thursday 55 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 2: in the US Friday morning zeon time, we'll get the 56 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 2: job data out from September. Consensus is for eighty thousand additions. 57 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: The risk is it's either too hot so the Fed 58 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 2: doesn't cut. And then locally, we've got nine companies producing profities, 59 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 2: including companies like Sanford, Circo, Napier, port Oceania in seven 60 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 2: companies filding and engaging our meetings Precinct A two, Goodman, 61 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 2: Sky Telly. The big ones key question for investing is 62 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 2: going to be are the green shoots crowing. Are we 63 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 2: actually seeing them turn into a decent jesy crop? 64 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: We want to see plenty of green Shaine.
