Is WA going to crash or fly?

Many posts at MB about how iron ore is doomed recently. This one today says this is the start of the the long way down.

https://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2024/03/iron-ore-goes-over-the-cliff/

According to Pete Wargent “There’s been little or no fanfare this time around, but we’ve seen a record surge in mineral exploration in 2023, to above $1bn per quarter.”

https://petewargent.blogspot.com/2024/03/economy-slowing-mining-is-one-bright.html

he says this means WA’s economy is looking pretty good but he does warn that investors need to take care not to get caught in areas bid up primarily by interstate investors:

apologies for large embedded youtube. Couldn’t see quickly how to tell WP to do it differently. On the plus side, embeds usually play without ads

But iron ore is 29% of the GSP (gross state product):

The iron ore industry is a large part of Western Australia’s economy, accounting for an estimated 29% of the State’s gross state product in 2021-22. In 2021-22, iron ore accounted for 55% of the value of Western Australia’s exports of goods

https://www.watc.wa.gov.au/media/lbopz4i3/wa-iron-ore-profile-march-2023.pdf

Pete Wargent is a competent commentator, and DLS was right about iron ore in the 2010s. The question then is do these things fit together, or is one right and the other wrong?

My reading of the 10 year chart is that iron ore has to break below $85 for it to be a serious downturn. That’s a 28% drop from today’s price. Let’s say that happens with the next two years, and let’s assume that the iron ore part of the WA GSP is linearly correlated with the iron ore price. That would be a hit of at least 8% to the GSP. Would property prices hold up? Would McGowan’s making Perth a regional centre for the purposes of immigration be enough to prop up housing regardless?

I have more questions than answers.

I note the following from DLS in “Australia’s future is deflation”:

The US will respond with inflationary tariffs as Chinese goods are dumped worldwide but not in Australia. Here, we will see a convergence of MASSIVELY deflationary AI job losses, crashing goods prices, smashed bulk commodity income, and mass immigration, a nightmare scenario for wage growth and inflation”

MB calling a deflationary future = standby for more ‘unexpected’ inflation.
[While their subscription price goes from $199 to $249 in a single year I would add.]
They haven’t considered that these nations might keep the production for themselves.
You can trade the inverse of their forex ‘calls’ profitability.
AI will be destroying 3 million jobs according to them, but the irony is not lost that ChatGPT can already write better articles than what they put out, and that is the version that doesn’t have access to pull/interpret live web data.
If there was any justice the jobs of MB, Tulip et al. will be the first to go.
It’s obvious what funds this pontification industry, and everyone is poorer for it.

A fly in your ointment

Short term, AI will be the slayer of jobs. Long term, the sterile “internet readers digest” as the main product of everything AI will wear out and most intelligent jobs will return. AI cannot be programmed irrational like the humans are and inherently everything resulting from human behaviour/activity.
Shitty lazy analysis types like Llewdo and Bleato will be surpassed by the first wave of AI induced job losses. The EmBee may he right on rates dropping later this year but for very different reasons: to support failing house prices (of course only if 1mil immigrants can’t suffice)
IR are purely just one more function of RE serviceability game.

Aussie Soy Boy

It’s probably doing all those FIFO workers a favour they can spend more time with their families and have normal routines/work life balances.

commentBot

That would be a hit of at least 8% to the GSP.

But what does that actually mean? GSP means nothing about money actually getting into the local economy. How much of the iron ore money just goes straight back offshore as profits? How much goes straight into billionaires pockets to never touch the local economy?
If those chew up most of the money the industry could stop completely for minimal real impact in the local economy, beyond the directly effected workers.

stagmal

a lot of it seemingly

aus has a ppp gdp of 65,000, if all the mining revenue was flying overseas and no one was seeing a cent of it locally that wouldnt be the case

bc mining is basically all our economy is and w/o it we’d be portugal

commentBot

Even if 100% of the money from it goes overseas it is still included in the GDP calculation if it is mined here.

stagmal

i dont think it works that way, only final transactions count in gdp not intermediary ones

very clearly aus isnt a country full of povos at all, if mining wasnt actually going into our economy we would be so it makes me really doubtful of this narrative

Commentbot seems more right than stagmal here.

doesn’t really matter if miner gross margins go from 220% to 70% – the staff all still get paid, but shareholders receive less.

commentBot

iron ore sold overseas is a final transaction. The iron ore is the product the miner produces. Otherwise mining adds literally nothing to gdp at all. Wages aren’t product.

Aussie Soy Boy

Tax revenue.

stagmal

still doesnt add up, we’d be NZ or worse (prob closer to portugal) if the resource sector wasnt contributing somehow. aus GDP is too high theres no economic activity otherwise worth a shit. our gdp per capita is the same as germanys which has serious industry.

Last edited 8 months ago by stagmal

I’d bet actual living standards on the ground for locals are equal or higher in NZ despite what the GDP is because mining adds to the GDP figures without adding any significant benefit to locals.

stagmal

plausible actually, and i’m, not inclined to immediately disagree. i’d love to know; the best way to try to figure it out is divide the cost of goods by local incomes but that requires too much work for most economists

Recall MB’s doom a couple years ago that futures markets had lost the plot predicting rates above 2.5%, and no way rates going much above 2.5% without causing house prices to half.

Last week DLS saying rates going to zero and futures market has lost the plot.

I note bond market predicting a brief bottom at around 3.6%.

SoylentGreen

DLS is analysis by projection. He wants a certain market and society and his takes are pathways to that route.

Freddy

Someone once suggested that MB was maximising their subscriber base with narratives that appeal to subscribers.

That is how I see it. Even that YT link above. Chris Bates gives his own Mortgage Broking business a plug every single time. That is the sole purpose of these commentaries.

The90kwbeast

Yes they are just reinforcing what the (remaining) subscribers want to hear.

It doesn’t matter if it’s right or wrong.

Ramjet

US rates are going nowhere near zero. They still need some people to buy their debt. Where the US rates go, we follow, so unlikely we cut hard on our own.

Friends, it has all unfolded as I had written.

Well done Peachy. The recent price rise has reminded me of companies promoted into the ASX 200 for the first time with (compulsory) inflows sending price much higher. Then an inevitable price drop when those inflows have settled.

I expect inflows into the Bitcoin ETFs to eventually settle although I wouldn’t be betting against it in the meantime.

More to do with these companies now being run by finance people who know the price of everything but the value of nothing.
So they saved a few $ on maintenance to pay the shareholders a slightly larger dividend.
And for what? A permanent stain on their reputation that will be costing hundreds of millions and they will never get it back.
Capitalism seems to be consuming itself where the efficiency gains have been had, and now any further cost cutting puts the entire operation at risk.

commentBot

A much increased bonus for the executives who leave the company and any long term repurcussions behind them.

A fly in your ointment

…executives who leave the company and any long term repurcussions behind them.

it’s the feature of the position.

I think whites hate each other and want to die or kill each other. Whether is be left vs right or class based or they liked the same girl. I think accelerationism isn’t real and the west will be something like Singapore.

the arborist

Still blaming boomers? But millennials and gen x also need to apologise to you now?

That’s a pretty broad spectrum of people you want to apologise to you. This is such a leftie snowflake crybaby opinion. It’s everyone’s fault but yours, right?

What is it exactly that you want boomers (and other generations) to apologise to you for? What did the big mean generations do to upset you?

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the average citizen isn’t running things. Society is controlled by the parasites in the 0.00001% at the top regardless of which generation they belong to. It has always been thus. Blaming generations is such a low IQ take.

commentBot

Blaming generations is such a low IQ take.

it’s much easier than blaming races here in australia though.

the arborist

The races themselves aren’t a problem. The races being here instead of where they belong is a problem. And they’re here because of the ruling class. Not because of white males or boomers.

commentBot

You’ve misunderstood my point. Setting the generations against each other here is the equivalent of setting the races against each other in the US. Give the population someone to blame other than the elite.

Fair point. I did indeed misunderstand your point. Nevertheless, ‘multiculturalism’ is a fucking disaster.

there is a certain level of moral complicity to a voter who elects a politician fuck knuckle in a representative democracy. not as much as the politician fuck knuckle themselves, but to suggest there is no moral complicity tp to their electors is the same as the “you cant blame the immigrants” bs argument

In the first instance, party donors influence the party members who preselect candidates in a limited number you then get to vote for.

Soos cracks me up – he’s got more balls than DLS or Levo in terms of honestly recognising where the problem is.

Even Michael West has it over MBs in terms of spelling out Australia’s Zionist problem. MB’s Ziocuckledry removes valuable information from their opinions. If you self censor than you restrict information, which results in your info being of a lower worth.

MB isn’t as bad as the msm who have basically reduced the quality of their wares to a $15/hr crack whore, but compared to West or Soos it is lower.

OzCuck

It’s a shame he doesn’t get more attention. He’s spot on about pretty much everything.

Aussie Soy Boy

That new Spanian video I had to take a look. What an embarrassment the legacy units, the islanders, the abos in this country are.

You won’t see one Asian or Indian in those videos they’re all busying studying or working.

Absolutely shameful.

stagmal

indians are definitely not better than legacy units, including the indians who come to australia (who are much better than the indians who stay behind). the indians who come to aus are never going to be like the indians in the u.s and uk and quite frankly some of their success in those countries is due to ethnic networking / nepotism and stuff white people arent allowed to do.

indians in aus from my impression seem thoroughly mediocre / sub-mediocre to me. i wish we had more data on this but australians seem massively allergic to collecting stats by race/ethnicity unlike in america. we don’t even have census data that allows you to properly estimate what the racial demographic %’s are.

A fly in your ointment

The SWL is at best 20% more and sometimes the same as the usual BT50 and similar Ute’s. It’s the appeal of a large engine smoking tyres. On par with those pesky SUV-wannabe karenmobiles.

Falcon/commodore Ute bogans still fare better in my judgement-o-meter bc they’re true to their culture.

commentBot

Those RAMs are the direct end result of the US implementing similar fuel efficiency standards decades ago to those being discussed for here.
Something the size of a hiliux is defined as a car so needs to meet fuel efficiency requirements making them relatively unavailable. But people want big cars so the manufacturers make something that just crosses into the classification of truck and doesn’t need to meet the car fuel efficiency standards.
Expect far more cars that size on the road here if similar standards are implemented,

Gruppenführer Mark

Funny how cars tend to get bigger, but parking spaces tend to get smaller. And narrower.

the arborist

It’s just market forces at play. The mindless drones need bigger cars to protect their precious cargo which is far more important than all the other cargo. And just think of the pReStIgE!!! So we end up with a passenger car arms race. Also equity mate.

And car parks are always looking to squeeze more paying customers in.

Obv these two opposing forces are going to crash into each at some time – and that time is pretty much now.

@ Comingbot

that’s a false bifurcation.
I’m all for everyone to eat what they want, or do what they want. Nature is ruthless and societies with poor diets or unhealthy life eventually perish. History is full if examples.
The socalled burden to society is just a rubbish sofist excuse (remember covid and unjabbed being a burden). It serves to justify telling other people what they can or cannot do and this place is world leader in “cannot” legislation (next time pigs give you a speeding ticket check the massive fat one in his trousers when he tells you “you’ve sinned and here’s a ticket”)

The first thing legacy units think is ‘will this hurt certain people i know and reduce their status and thus improve mine through doing nothing’.

Also why the left wants to believe in climate change so bad. They can’t stand people getting so much happiness and satisfaction out of a fuckin burger chips and a coke.

Really, if they want to stop people driving the cars they should smash the window, chuck in some petrol and burn the fucker.

Of course that just leads to an insurance payout and a new identical car being manufactured and also further fucking the environment. But yay activism.

Maybe 10 years, but no EV is getting a new battery when it’s approaching 10 years old. The battery would cost more than the car is worth.

A fly in your ointment

if your tyres were being slashed 5 times a week in some hypothetical extreme world because of the type of car you drove, would you keep getting them replaced?

or would you just get a new car that wouldnt get targetted instead

someone wants to bang your wife and you just let him have her and move on then get yourself a fat unfuckable one because “no one hits at them”?

you’re again on that glue sniffing binge?
I just can believe your responses on this topic

you’re right.
analogy fail if one will never have a wife.
would not be fail if I said “boyfriend”….

me defending big SUV?
you’re definitely heavy on glue sniffing right now.

If the local abbos where robbing you once a week, would you decide to just give them all your money to stop them robbing you?

A fly in your ointment

Why?
If you leave your wife because someone is hitting on her, it a reflection on yourself, not on your wife.
I understand your point and I agree in general. Cheating is like tango.
Women though like some jealousy and tend to induce it, mostly the wrong ways

I thought originally it was a hypocrisy case.
Instead, it’s explicable by a sheer sheeple stupidity. of having short-sighted views.

Freddy

It has been happening for a few months. I recall the cops saying slashing is illegal but don’t believe there is anything in the law to convict someone of deflating tyres.

@ OZ

it’s simple: if you take up 2 spaces pay for both or get a ticket. No need for “how big is yours and and if bigger than mine you should be taxed”.
As much as I loath the culture of useless un-functional size vehicles, the same should apply for every SFUV (a Faken Useless Vehicle) and those “all in one – nothing at all” tall vehicles crossovers.

I don’t care much either way. I just found it amusing. I remember back when the soccer mum Landcruisers became popular. People got the shits but then everyone got used to it. That was about 20 years ago now.

no one got used to it, they are still cast off, that being justly.

true, not just the ezfka thing. This place leads the rest by a fat margin and accelerate the warp speed, which makes it almost impossible for the rest to catchup ever. Like Sweden, on degenerate family and personality destruction.

>This place leads the rest by a fat margin and accelerate the warp speed

UK has always had it’s class system. Those dumb poms love fawning over the Royals. America basically has a class system too. I guess that’s naturally what people crave.

That way the rich can be protected from that annoying meritocracy and people that like to work hard, get up early and are good with money. Like immigrants. The poor can palm off any responsibility when it comes to politics.

Really? White males are the problem now? They should be more like our aboriginal teetotallers, yeah?

This site is fast resembling reddit with all the blaming of white males and boomers.

A fly in your ointment

not quite what I understood.
convict class has its share of shyte.
why should whites convict class ezfka units be excluded from a constructive critic?

OzCuck

It’s only about 1/16th of white ezfkas that are convicts. Otherwise probably mostly UK mutts from shitty towns.

heard elsewhere and from multiple mutually unrelated sources that English expats are rejects from the Empire. Basically would be sent to convict colonies if laws were not relaxed since the time of the first convict colonisation.
in a sense a class below Aussie convicts.
not sure if that is right but sure it seems plausible in my experience.

OzCuck

Same with ezfka wogs. All from shitty towns no one has heard of. Good worth ethic but extremely basic people.

A fly in your ointment

that’s not the same, actually quite the opposite

OzCuck

Right so people from Napoli are better than people from Milan. Haha. Dumb wog. You don’t even know your own country.

Don’t be so smug when you can’t grasp the point.
Expats are apparently poor work ethic snobs from big cities where everyone can make it except them.

White males who drink and smoke having political power is the worst take I’ve seen for a long time. This group is the Dalit of the west. They are universally despised. If they had any power at all, a pack of durries / container of grog wouldn’t be taxed anywhere near what they are and we’d still be seeing ads for tobacco companies everywhere and people smoking in movies.

Seriously, the percentage of white males who smoke is miniscule and they tend to be the absolute dregs.

Wasn’t there a scandal a while back because ex premier Dan was caught having a sly durrie at the back or a stage or something?

what an absolutely dogshit take

we are living in a boganocracy
take a look at Chris Minns NSW

no we can’t build houses in the inner city we need to keep this fucking dog track

no we won’t encourage people to use this public transport we paid hundreds of millions to build , instead we will give petrol rebates to people who pay road tolls

poker machines

getting pissed at pubs , but now also on the public footpath adjacent

no vapes, only filthy cigarettes (no the police won’t fine you for throwing them on the ground)\

car or motorbike exceeds EPA noise or pollution limits? we will turn a blind eye

Australia is a dictatorship of the bogan proletariate

Australia is solely run in the interests of bogans as indicated by the existence of pokies

Lenin was right about Australia: https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1913/jun/13.htm

OzCuck

Pubs used to have bands but 95% of bands were shithead idiots that made a half arsed attempt at playing some sort of metal or grunge. Then the pokies came in in the mid 90s and there was no need for pubs to tolerate a few long haired drunken retards listening to shitty bands. Then millenial bands came in in the 2000s and were mostly whiny and gay af. Or basic bitch rock like Jet. No way they were gonna upset the pokies.

Why are loud cars legal if Australia isn’t totally dominated by the bogan class?

OzCuck

I think the idea is loud cars and RAMs are the equivalent of the ABC or The Guardian for the left.

You need to have a RAM in order to get a 6.326578/10 pussy and then name your child Jayden or Brock.

Little bits of bread and circuses.

Useful idiots are allowed whatnp they want for they are the useful idiots.

loud cars aren’t legal. Enforcement is just mostly selective to harass young people.

Why wouldn’t they sell the dog track land and build a new one for the morons in Rooty Hill.

How the fuck can people who live bait weird lanky dogs for a living wield so much influence?

Do people even punt on the dogs anymore (unless they lost all day on the horses and none of their multies came in)?

commentBot

enough punt that they run virtual dog races to bet on when the actual dogs have finished.

OzCuck

Probably an extension of the gambling industry. Which most likely has a fuck load of influence.

Boomer legacies only

the new generations of legacy degenerates do online poker or crypto or whatever

a much less obnoxious way for them to get their dopamine

the government should be transitioning them all so they can just stay in their pods and not bother the rest of us

You are sounding like dictator Bruce Baird who thought he could rub out greyhounds without consultation.

There are entire towns that would become ghost towns if greyhounds disappeared.

hopefully she saw some hot legacy units while she was here but unlikely since only ugly people follow politics/economics/YIMBYism

Yeah that dumb wog Yanis is still cruising around making out what a great guy he is because he opposed the bailouts like a century ago now. Brilliant.

They don’t even have a RAM. Or maybe they do. It wouldn’t surprise me given all the lefty politicians have ips.

Houses are about $500k in Melton. A couple of woolies workers could afford that. Will be interesting to see if they get replaced or hold on to the suburb through sheer repulsiveness.
