📊 TXOGA Chartbook Update - Week of January 13, 2025 🔹U.S. economic indicators point to sustained consumer optimism and supportive business conditions for growth. Non-farm payrolls increased by 256,000 in December, reducing the unemployment rate by 0.1 percentage points month-over-month (m/m) to 4.1%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Industrial production data and the ADS index, published by the Federal Reserve and the Philadelphia Fed, indicate positive GDP growth momentum heading into Q1 2025. However, concerns about potential tariffs and inflationary pressures have heightened expectations for interest rate adjustments. Yields on CCC-rated and lower-quality corporate bonds declined by 0.1 percentage points week-over-week (w/w) to 11.7%, while 30-day Federal Funds futures remained steady at 4.3%, narrowing the risk premium for lower-credit-quality bonds to 7.4%. 🔹Record U.S. dollar strength. As highlighted in the Chart of the Week, the U.S. dollar has reached its highest recorded foreign exchange rate since 2006. This extreme appreciation presents challenges to servicing over $5 trillion in U.S. dollar-denominated debt, with more than half of these obligations concentrated in emerging markets across Asia-Pacific, Africa, and the Middle East. 🔹Tighter oil market fundamentals. WTI crude oil prices rose above $76 per barrel as of January 10, the highest since early October 2024. Despite record-high U.S. oil production exceeding 13.5 million barrels per day (mb/d) and concerns over potential OPEC supply increases, oil prices have been supported by tighter fundamentals. Petroleum demand climbed to the top quartile of its 5-year range, net exports remained historically strong, and domestic crude inventories fell for the seventh consecutive week, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) data for the week ending January 3. 🔹Natural gas production has maintained robust inventory levels despite strong consumption and rising exports. Expectations of increased winter demand pushed U.S. natural gas prices up by 18.1% week-over-week (w/w) to nearly $4.00 per million Btu as of January 10. According to EIA data as of January 3, strong production has driven inventories to 10% above the five-year range, even amid heightened winter-weather consumption.
