Notes You Need for June 4: Maple Syrup, gas prices, housing affordability, airline profits
In my daily trawling through the market I come upon lots of tidbits of knowledge that I think are important to investors but that don’t justify a full post. I’ve decided to start compiling these notes here each day in a kind of running mini blog that I’m calling Notes You Need. This item from today is a representative sample: “11:40 a.m.: Global airline profits this year are projected to slide from the record reached in 2017, according to the International Air Transport Association, as a result of higher fuel and labor costs. Net income for 2018 is likely to total $33.8 billion, 12% lower than a December forecast for $38.4 billion from the group. The new forecast compares with an all-time high of $38 billion in airline profits in 2017.”

I’ve decided to start compiling these notes here each day in a kind of running mini blog that I’m calling Notes You Need. This post from today is a representative item: “1:40 p.m.: Capacity growth in the domestic airline sector is tracking at a 4.0% year over year increase with capacity on track for 4.5% domestic growth and 0.4% international growth, according to airline market analysts at Wolfe Research. Airlines have not put expected summer cuts in capacity into place yet, Wolfe noted, but the company expects capacity moves due to higher fuel costs to begin in the next couple of weeks. Cuts in capacity are usually good news for airline stocks.
Notes You Need for May 18: Restaurant traffic woes, Amazon grocery discounts, rig count, dollar climbs again, continued pressure on Amazon postal rates
In my daily trawling through the market I come upon lots of tidbits of knowledge that I think are important to investors but that don’t justify a full post. I’ve decided to start compiling these notes here each day in a kind of running mini blog that I’m calling Notes You Need. This item from today is a representative sample: “3:40 p.m.: The U.S. Dollar Index recorded its fourth weekly gain in the past five weeks, rising nearly 4.5% during that period. It’s interesting to speculate what the price of oil would be now without that dollar advance. Since oil trades in dollars, the price of a barrel of oil falls when the value of a dollar rises against other currencies.”

Target has dropped the delivery price for household essentials to $2.99 from $4.99 and waived it altogether for customers paying with a Target card. The Target Restock service lets shoppers get 35,000 everyday items like paper towels and baby food for a flat delivery fee. And as Target noted in announcing the cuts, “Membership fee? Nope.” Target has also teamed with Google Home to let customers restock with a voice command using Google’s Alexa.”
