The numbers: Orders for durable goods were flat in August, the Commerce Department said Thursday. The result was much better than anticipated. Economists had forecast a 3% fall in orders for durable goods — products made to last at least three years.
Durable goods orders rose a revised 9.9% in July, up slightly from the prior estimate of a 9.8% gain.
Core capital goods orders, which exclude volatile sectors like transportation and defense, rose 0.2% last month after a 0.2% drop in July.
Shipments of core goods, which are factored into GDP, rose 0.1% in August.
The companies announced Sept. 26 that Chesapeake Energy’s $7.4 billion merger with Southwestern Energy is expected to close in the first week of October, with the combined company renamed Expand Energy Corp.
The two natural gas players said they had cleared the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. Expand Energy will become the largest gas producer in the U.S. with its massive, dual footprints in both the Appalachia and Haynesville shale plays.
The all-stock acquisition of Southwestern by Chesapeake was first announced in January, but additional scrutiny and information requests by the Federal Trade Commission caused some delays. The new Expand name was only announced on Sept. 26.
OPEC+ is not currently discussing any changes to its oil production plan, which includes adding supply to the market starting in December 2024. This plan was initially set to begin in October but was delayed due to a crash in oil prices in August and September. Russia's Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak stated that all OPEC+ members fully comply with their agreed output quotas.
Saudi Arabia is reportedly determined to increase production from December 1, aiming to regain market share lost during its recent large output cut. This marks a significant policy shift for the kingdom, which is now willing to accept short-term price and revenue declines to achieve this goal.
The Saudi strategy represents a departure from its unofficial $100 oil price target, prioritizing market share over price maintenance. This change in approach could have significant implications for global oil markets and prices in the coming months.
