Jeff Mayberry and Samuel Lau first survey (2:30) the performance of financial markets, including the alliterating Lau’s “podium of positive performers”: the four sectors in the S&P 500 that now show positive returns year-to-date. Then they turn to the major macro and market news (14:32) for the two weeks ended Dec. 2, 2022, notably a contractionary reading on the S&P Global manufacturing survey and a persistently tight readings for the labor market. For their Questions of the Week, they start by refreshing their take (25:17) on what Jeff considers the Biden administrations “short-sighted” releases from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. (For Jeff and Sam’s detailed introduction to the reserve, please see the Nov. 12, 2021, episode of Monday Morning Minutes.) Then the podcast hosts dive into the vagaries of oil exportation-importation surrounding the G-7’s adoption of a $60/barrel price cap on Russian oil (28:45), whose potential for effectiveness they regard with a skeptical eye.
