Prepare for "stalling and divergent" global growth next year, according to a new forecast issued by the United Nations. Global economic growth will rise slightly, from 2.4% in 2023 to 2.5% in 2024, according to the UN's Trade and Development Report, but the world economy is in a precarious position, Richard Kozul-Wright, UNCTAD, Director, Division on Globalization and Development Strategies Division, tells CNBC. "The global economy is pretty weak and I consider the projection to be an optimistic call," he said. Even with these concerns, he noted that the U.S. economy continues to be the best-performing amongst the developing countries. "I know there are growing voices of the 'R word' for the U.S. next year, but we are not saying recession yet.

REUTERS/Andrew Kelly/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsOct 3 (Reuters) - Top global automakers on Tuesday reported a rise in U.S. new vehicle sales for the third quarter, buoyed by resilient demand for latest models and improved supplies. EV sales jumped 28% in the third quarter from the preceding quarter, the company said. Meanwhile, Asian brands posted strong gains in the quarter. Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T) posted a 12.2% rise in third-quarter U.S. sales. However, the South Korea-based automaker said rising interest rates "make it very, very challenging for consumers to purchase a vehicle."

REUTERS/Rebecca Cook/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsOct 3 (Reuters) - General Motors Co's (GM.N) third-quarter U.S. auto sales jumped about 21%, the company said on Tuesday, fueled by improved supply and sustained demand for its SUVs and pickup trucks.

While it did not address the impact of the latest strike, a 40-day UAW strike in 2019 led to a 6% fall in sales in the fourth quarter of that year and cost the automaker $3.6 billion.

☆ GM's third-quarter sales jump 21% as UAW strike slowly expands
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-03 | by ( Michael Wayland | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

DETROIT – An ongoing strike by the United Auto Workers union against the Detroit automakers had little to no direct effect on General Motors' third-quarter U.S. new vehicle sales. Sales of every one of the Detroit automaker's brands rose compared to a year earlier. Only 25,200 workers, or roughly 17% of UAW members covered by the expired contracts with GM, Ford Motor and Stellantis, are part of the work stoppages. UAW has been gradually increasing the strikes since the work stoppages began, after the sides failed to reach tentative agreements by Sept 14. The targeted walkouts aim to preserve the union's funds and prolong the work stoppages to keep the automakers off keel.

But that may change after the United Auto Workers (UAW) union launched unprecedented, coordinated strikes against GM, Ford (F.N) and Stellantis (STLAM.MI) last month. "The production disruptions caused by the strike will have ramifications for potential sales levels moving through the fourth quarter," S&P Global Mobility said in a note. The automakers haven't disclosed a financial hit from the strikes so far and September sales are likely to be unscathed given the inventory built up in anticipation of the strike. U.S. new vehicle sales likely rose 17% to 3,941,700 units, whereas, the September seasonally adjusted annualized rate is expected to be 15.4 million units, consultants J.D.

"The economic headwinds are blowing, and they're blowing harder and harder," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon recently cautioned clients that the Fed may have to take rates a good deal higher yet. Still, that's well rate above the central bank's 2% target, posing another potential headwind to growth.

While the WGA settled its strike recently, winning improved wages and job protections, SAG-AFTRA remains on strike, and most filming remains on hold. They won a reported 32% increase in pay over the six-year life of a contract reached in June and ratified earlier this month. Many of the health care workers unions say their main issue is lack of adequate staffing and the workers’ belief that they’re not able to provide the level of care they want without more help. The Biden administration and Congress stepped into a labor dispute late last year when freight railroad workers threatened to strike. “Labor unions are enjoying a moment of high public approval and strong belief in the benefits they offer to workers, businesses and the economy,” said a Gallup statement.

☆ Explainer: UAW expands strike against GM, Ford in Week 3, spares Stellantis
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-29 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +4 min

Sept 29 (Reuters) - The United Auto Workers (UAW) union on Friday expanded its coordinated U.S. strike, this time targeting a plant at General Motors (GM.N) and Ford Motor (F.N) but refraining from an additional walkout from Chrysler parent Stellantis (STLAM.MI). The UAW, which represents 46,000 GM workers, 57,000 Ford employees and 43,000 Stellantis workers, kicked off negotiations with the companies in July. Contract talks between the UAW and the Detroit automakers in past years had gone on until the strike deadline and beyond. Talks between Ford and UAW negotiators stalled during the week after the two appeared to be close to an agreement, sources familiar with the development said. In fiscal 2019, GM's fourth-quarter profit took a $3.6 billion hit from a 40-day UAW strike.

"Despite our willingness to bargain Ford and GM have refused to make meaningful progress," Fain said in a video address Friday morning. It began on Sept. 15, when workers struck at one plant each from GM, Ford and Stellantis. The UAW did not strike at Ford distribution facilities last week, citing progress in talks with that company. Analysts estimate GM, Ford and Stellantis earn as much as $15,000 per vehicle on each of their respective large pickup truck models. The Ford assembly plant in Chicago builds the Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator SUVs, while the GM plant in Lansing makes the Chevy Traverse and Buick Enclave SUVs.
