AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoUK Housing & Rents: New buy-to-let data shows 43% of landlords plan to sell in the next year versus just 6% planning to buy, while the share raising rents has slipped to 63%—a setup that could keep upward pressure on rents “relentless” as supply tightens. Fed & Rates: A blowout August jobs report (162k jobs, unemployment 4.1%) is reviving September hike odds and pushing yields higher, even as markets look ahead to CPI. AI Power Demand: Berkshire’s Greg Abel says it will serve hyperscalers only if other customers don’t get stuck paying the bill, highlighting how data-center load is reshaping utility economics. Global Macro Risks: The IMF flags four big drags—rising public debt, lingering energy-market pressure, stalled disinflation, and AI’s uncertain economic impact. Commodities—Oil & Gas: US natural gas futures rose on warm weather demand; meanwhile, Treasury’s Bessent expects oil could fall to $40–$50 after the Iran conflict ends. Mining & Batteries: Lithium forecasts remain wide as project delays and conversion capacity matter more than raw supply; mining M&A shows deal values rising faster than deal confidence. Aviation Growth: Boeing projects Africa’s fleet to more than double by 2045, driven by intra-Africa and Middle East connectivity. Crypto: Bitcoin price forecasts for 2030 span roughly $300k to $1M+ per coin, with ETF and institutional adoption assumptions doing most of the work.
