Trade surplus shrinks as exports retreat
September 2 (BusinessDay) Update, Australia's trade surplus almost halved in July, as coal exports declined to China and India, denting some of the recent momentum on the international front.
…
China, coal drop
A sharp decline in coking coal exports to China and India contributed significantly to the lower surplus for the month.
Exports were hit by a 27 per cent drop in hard coking coal volumes in July, more than reversing a 9 per cent increase in June, ABS data show.
ANZ economist Riki Polygenis said exports of coking coal to China plunged 77 per cent for the month as the Chinese government closed 40 per cent of its steel industry for maintenance, denting demand for Australia's commodities. Coking coal is used for making steel.
Coking coal exports to India also fell, down 47 per cent, or $329 million, on the month before.
Moody's Analytics economist Matthew Circosta said the coal drop "does appear a little strange given that these economies are some of the best performing in the world right now."

"We expect to see a recovery in the next couple of months," said Mr Smirk.

Asian Stocks Rise to Two-Week High on U.S. Manufacturing Report
Sept. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Asian stocks rose, lifting the MSCI Asia-Pacific Index to a two-week high, as faster-than-estimated growth in U.S. manufacturing supported confidence in global economic growth.
…
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index gained 1 percent to 119.26 as of 7:23 p.m. in Tokyo, the highest level since Aug. 19. The gauge advanced 1.3 percent yesterday after reports showed China’s manufacturing and Australia’s gross domestic product grew faster than economists estimated.
“The U.S. manufacturing data served to allay fears of a double-dip recession,” said Tim Schroeders, who helps manage about $1 billion at Pengana Capital Ltd. in Melbourne. “Yesterday’s manufacturing report out of China was better than expected and Australia’s buoyant GDP data also served to build investor confidence.”
Japan’s Nikkei 225 Stock Average gained 1.5 percent, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index jumped 1.2 percent and Taiwan’s Taiex Index climbed 0.7 percent. South Korea’s Kospi Index rose 0.6 percent. China’s Shanghai Composite Index increased 1.3 percent as automakers advanced on higher car sales.
‘Leading Indicator’
Futures on the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index lost 0.2 percent. The index climbed 3 percent yesterday, the biggest gain since July 7, after the ISM’s factory index rose to a three-month high of 56.3 in August. Readings greater than 50 signal growth, and the figure was projected to drop to 52.8, according to the median forecast of economists in a Bloomberg News survey.
…
“Manufacturing is a good leading indicator,” said Matt Riordan, who helps manage about $5 billion at Paradice Investment Management in Sydney. “An increase shows manufacturers are receiving good signals from their customers. If higher levels can be maintained, it will ultimately feed through to better employment, which then leads to a cycle of economic improvement.”

U.S. Avoids Recession as Data Can’t Get Much Worse
Sept. 2 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. economy is so bad that the chance of avoiding a double dip back into recession may actually be pretty good.
The sectors of the economy that traditionally drive it into recession are already so depressed it’s difficult to see them getting a lot worse, said Ethan Harris, head of developed markets economics research at BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research in New York. Inventories are near record lows in proportion to sales, residential construction is less than half the level of the housing boom and vehicle sales are more than 30 percent below five years ago.
“It doesn’t rule out a recession,” Harris said. “It just makes it less likely than otherwise.”
