This is the Australian story for about two decades - low productivity, high immigration and declining living standards. “Well Deloitte Access Economics has been producing quarterly economic reports for 30 years - and today’s was among its grimmest. 3 months ago they were forecasting 2% growth for this financial year - now they reckon it’ll be 1.3%. And next year, 1.9% - which will be the longest stretch of sub 2% growth since the 1992 recession. In the text, chief economist Stephen Smith says for too long strong population growth has masked a weak underlying productivity performance - and lifted growth while doing less for living standards. And he’s predicting more of the same - here’s his chart of population growth, history and forecast. Basically, Deloitte is predicting that immigration and population growth will go back to what it was when it was masking weak productivity - and almost double what it was in the early 2000s.”

BREAKING: Goldman Sachs names Elon Musk’s Terafab as a major new driver of chip-equipment growth. Goldman included Terafab’s roughly $16.8B first-phase buildout in its Logic & Other forecast and says the project accounts for most of the added growth in this segment. Goldman believes Terafab’s impact is still in its early stages, with room for further forecast increases as later phases move forward. Goldman raised its global wafer-fabrication equipment forecasts to: • $150.3B in 2026, up 36% YoY • $217.5B in 2027, up 45% • $280.9B in 2028, up 29% The firm says growing AI demand is driving higher spending across DRAM, foundry and logic chips.

Offshore & onshore: we should use it all. Lower prices, jobs and growth. I have said for years: approve Rosebank, Jackdaw and others. Lincolnshire has produced oil for decades and has huge gas reserves. US gas price stayed the same during Iran war as produced domestically. UK gas price has soared 60% due to large imports. Extracting our own gas will lower prices and bring bills down.

Wolfers: "What we see is the US has had very weak job growth since Jan. 2025, the beginning of the Trump administration. Job growth actually to the north, despite all the difficulties that they've faced in Canada, has been substantially faster. In fact, job growth in Canada is quadruple the rate that it is in the US."
