The Iran war situation report. - Part 55

The US has underestimated the strong Iranian's resolve to maintain the Hormuz blockage by providing martime escorts through Hormuz.

Iran has shown its strong resolve by hitting US warship with 2 missiles.  What does this mean?  This means no shipper will dare to pass through Hormuz without Iran's permission anymore because Iran dares to hit the US navy that provides the maritime escort service.

The latest ISM PMI report showed spiking inflation! - Part 2

 

Missing parameter:

Estimated Local New Orders: New orders - New Export Orders = 0.6 - (-2) = 2.6

Estimated Local Material: Inventories - Imports = (-1) - (-2.3) = -1.3

The new order increased (+0.6) because the US consumers were frontloading their purchases (local new orders: +2.6) due to the spiking US inflation prices (+6.3).

However, the producers regarded this frontloading phenomenon as unsustainable and reduced their production (-1.7) and employment (-2.3) instead because new export orders were declining (-2).

The frontloading purchases also caused the customers' inventories and backlog of orders to decline respectively (-1 & -3).

The high prices (84.6, +6.3) were caused by the Iran war and would continue to devastate the US economic growth and PMI if the Iran war continues for a few more months.

US Q1 2026 GDP growth: 2%

US Q1 2026 GDP growth: 2%

Let's break down the GDP to see what had changed from the previous quarter.

GDP growth = G + I + C + NE

Q4 GDP (2025) = (-0.99) + 0.4 + 1.3 + (-0.22) = 0.49 (0.5)

Q1 GDP (1st estimate) = 0.73 + 1.48 + 1.08 + (-1.3) = 1.99 (2)

The US government spending (G) had been increased to boost the US GDP growth.  However, the spiking inflation was causing consumption (C) to fall from 1.3 to 1.08 and this decline in C had boosted the investment (I) because of increasing stockpiles (unsold inventories).  The Iran war had caused the international trades to decline and it had also affected the US exports (Net Export was negative).

Therefore, this is not an impressive GDP report because we can see weaknesses ahead.

US core PCE had spiked in Q1 2026.

 
The current Iran war had caused the Q1 core PCE to spike to 4.3%.  If this trend continues, the US Fed won't be able to ease its rates.
