US Pensions Will Ride Stock Rally to Reach 12% Gains, S&P Says
(Bloomberg) -- US public retirement funds will outperform typical investment expectations as they profit from strong stock returns, S&P Global Ratings said in a recent report. Chicago Schools Seeks $1 Billion of Short-Term Debt as Cash Gone A Photographer's Pipe Dream: Capturing New York's Vast Water System A London Apartment Tower With Echoes of Victorian Rail and Ancient Rome Why New York City Has a Fleet of New EVs From a Dead Carmaker Princeton Plans New Budget Cuts as Pressure From Trump Builds Analysts expect pensions to generate returns of 11% to 12% for the fiscal year that ended in June, driven by steep jumps in stock prices. These gains would be in spite of a dip that occurred in April, when the S&P 500 shed more than $5.4 trillion in two trading sessions after investors reacted to President Donald Trump's tariff plans. This year's outperformance adds to the estimated pension returns of 16% to 17% in fiscal 2024. There is usually a one-year delay between the measurement of pensions to reporting, S&P said. Managers typically plan for returns of at least 7% to maintain funded ratios, according to the report. The ratings firms also increased its discount rate guideline to 6.5% from 6% on expectations that the market rally will continue, powered by productivity-enhancing technologies such as artificial intelligence, as well as private equity returns. 'Should US public pension plans continue to exceed expectations, with technological growth persisting as new technologies mature, and the Fed's rates stabilize, we could see market gains and improved funding for these plans,' analysts led by Todd Kanaster wrote.

India's Modi meets China's top diplomat as Asian powers rebuild ties
Indian prime minister Narendra Modi met China's top diplomat on Tuesday and hailed the 'steady progress' made in improving the bilateral relationship after a years-long stand-off between the nuclear-armed Asian powers. Mr Modi also noted 'respect for each other's interests and sensitiveness' in a statement on social media after meeting Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. China's foreign ministry said the countries have entered a 'steady development track' and the countries should 'trust and support' each other. Mr Wang arrived in India on Monday and has met with foreign affairs minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar as well as national security adviser Ajit Doval about the countries' disputed border in the Himalayan mountains. India's foreign ministry said Mr Wang's meeting with Mr Doval discussed 'de-escalation, delimitation and boundary affairs'. Relations plummeted in 2020 after security forces clashed along the border. The violence, the worst in decades, left 20 Indian soldiers and four Chinese soldiers dead, freezing high-level political engagements. 'The setbacks we experienced in the past few years were not in the interest of the people of our two countries. We are heartened to see the stability that is now restored in the borders,' Mr Wang said. Mr Modi emphasised the importance of maintaining peace and tranquillity on the border and reiterated India's commitment to a 'fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable resolution of the boundary question', his office said in a statement. The rebuilding of India-China ties coincides with friction between New Delhi and Washington after US president Donald Trump imposed steep tariffs on India, a long-time ally seen as a counterbalance against China's influence in Asia. India is part of the Quad security alliance with the US, along with Australia and Japan. The chill in relations after the deadly clash in 2020 between troops in the Ladakh region affected trade, diplomacy and air travel, as both sides deployed tens of thousands of security forces in border areas. Some progress has been made since then. Last year, India and China agreed to a pact on border patrols and withdrew additional forces along some border areas. Both countries continue to fortify their border by building roads and rail networks. In recent months, the countries have increased official visits and discussed easing some trade restrictions, movement of citizens and visas for businesspeople. In June, Beijing allowed pilgrims from India to visit holy sites in Tibet. Both sides are working to restore direct flights. Last week, the spokesman for India's foreign ministry, Randhir Jaiswal, said India and China were in discussions to restart trade through three points along their 2,167-mile border. 'Settling the boundary issue between the two countries requires political compromise at the highest political level,' said Manoj Joshi, a fellow at the Observer Research Foundation, a New Delhi-based think tank. He also served as a member of the advisory board for India's National Security Council. The thaw between Beijing and New Delhi began last October when Mr Modi and Chinese president Xi Jinping met at a summit of emerging economies in Russia. It was the first time the leaders had spoken in person since 2019. Mr Modi is set to meet Mr Xi when he travels to China late this month — his first visit in seven years — to attend the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, a regional grouping formed by China, Russia and others to counter US influence in Asia. Earlier this year, Mr Xi called for India and China's relations to take the form of a 'dragon-elephant tango' — a dance between the emblematic animals of the countries. Last month, India's external affairs minister visited Beijing in his first trip to China since 2020.

Oil Prices may have major impact on stocks soon
Oil Prices may have major impact on stocks soon originally appeared on TheStreet. While no one was paying attention, crude oil prices quietly fell by over 11% since the beginning of August. You can only imagine what an uproar the financial media would be in if major stock indexes gave up that much ground in a little over two weeks. What's more, if measured from the peak spike in oil prices following the US attack on Iran's nuclear facilities on June 22, at $78.40, the decline is even greater, at over 20%—bear market territory. Meanwhile, major stock market indexes, like the SPDR S&P500 ETF Trust and the global iShares MSCI ACWI ETF Index, have continued to hover near all-time highs, with little sign of imminent downside. Let's take a closer look at what's driving lower oil prices and its implications for stock market prices. Oil prices are a leading indicator of energy demand While oil is subject to myriad factors driving its price, a number of key relationships exist between oil and other global markets. The most important economic linkage is that oil prices serve as a proxy for overall energy demand. Global energy demand, in turn, is greatly influenced by global economic growth conditions and worth noting that oil is a finely balanced market that is subject to extreme price shocks from incoming news, such as geopolitical crises or attacks on oil infrastructure. From a tactical perspective, such price dislocations can give active investors opportunities to buy at price levels they may not see again. However, given this year's choppy environment, lower prices speak to using limit orders to limit losses rather than buying or selling at the market. Global demand is key to what's next for prices While not likely to trigger a price spike because there is no single indicator to pinpoint, global demand is best gauged by considering several key indicators, such as GDP, ISM manufacturing data, and OECD world economic forecasts. Unfortunately, those indicators have been moving in a southerly direction in recent months. US real GDP is currently forecast at 2.5% annualized for Q3, down from 2.6% month-ago levels, according to the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow indicator. Separately, as seen in the chart above, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) forecasts only 1.6% GDP growth for the US in 2025 after 2.8% in 2024. The OECD data for other key economies is similar: Eurozone growth is expected to remain anemic at 1% (down from the December 2024 forecast of 1.3%). China is expected to post 4.8% GDP growth, which is down slightly from month-ago levels of 4.9%, and, crucially, below the government's target of 5.0% annual GDP growth. ISM manufacturing indexes are also worrisome: US and European manufacturing ISM indexes remain in contractionary territory at 48 in July (down from 49 prior) and at 49.8 (unchanged) in August, respectively. While ISM headline numbers may be off their worst levels earlier in the year, leading subcomponents such as hiring and new orders continued to evidence weakness. Supply is a negative for oil prices From the supply side of the equation, the OPEC+ nations (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries plus major non-OPEC suppliers, such as Mexico and Malaysia) have increased their production levels as part of a withdrawal of cuts in prior years. More Economic Analysis: What the star-studded Jackson Hole Fed meeting means to you Producer price inflation shocks Fed interest rate cut bets White House taps more potential candidates to head the Fed This coming weekend, ministers from the OPEC+ nations are expected to approve an additional 0.548 million barrels per day (bpd) in production, an approximately 2% increase. This will add to fears of potential oversupply in the face of waning demand, which is likely to lead to further oil price declines. The upcoming meeting may have been the cause of the price gap lower in West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil price to start the week, shown in the chart below. The chart shows an image of a crude oil (WTI) candle chart, with a solid burgundy line showing global stocks according to the ACWI stock index ETF, with an Ichimoku overlay. As I suggested in early August, the net balance of effects is oil price negative, and the price charts support that with the price dropping below the key support of the Ichimoku cloud, now resistance at $66.85 in WTI (CL1). Alternatively, the lower price gap could be a 'blow-off low' for the time being, meaning prices may recover in the short term to better selling levels. The immediate downside remains in play while below the $63.28 Tenkan line (light blue line, fast moving average); above may see a recovery into the $66 area (and falling) of the Kijun line (red, slower moving average), with the cloud bottom still at 66.85 as major resistance. For WTI, the big round psychological support at $60 is now within reach and likely becomes a market target objective. Given an RSI reading of around 40, the downside still has more room to run, meaning prices are not yet overextended to the downside. Why oil prices matter to stock investors Historically, oil prices and stocks have had a positive relationship, meaning they tend to move in the same direction. However, the positive correlation is relatively minor, at only +0.3 to +0.5 over the long term, according to price according to a recent report by the CME Group, the S&P 500 stock index has been 70% correlated with day-to-day movements in WTI crude oil so far this year. This is the highest correlation over any rolling 30-day period since 2012. The one-year rolling correlation has risen sharply to its highest level since 2013. Overall, the weakening global demand and weaker energy prices make sense. However, stocks continuing to make new all-time highs does not quite fit that global slower-growth scenario, suggesting something has to give. Individual stock sectors will be impacted in different ways. For example, if stocks begin to decline overall, the sectors that benefit from lower energy costs may decline relatively less than those with more negative exposure to oil prices. In particular, look for transportation () , consumer discretionary () , industrials (ex-energy) () and even tech stocks () as likely beneficiaries of lower energy prices. The biggest loser is obviously the energy sector () itself, whose profitability is directly tied to the price of oil. Other losers may be in oilfield services () , mid-stream/pipeline services () and materials () . Oddly enough, banks () may also be on the losing side due to high recent lending to oil-sensitive companies, as default risks rise as oil prices decline. In short, if oil prices remain under pressure, which seems likely, stock investors should be on the alert for a correction lower in overall stock prices, with a differentiated view based on sector-specific vulnerabilities to lower oil Prices may have major impact on stocks soon first appeared on TheStreet on Aug 19, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Aug 19, 2025, where it first appeared.
