The Car Bubble is BURSTING - BAD | Massive Warning Sign.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
now we need to do a deep dive into the
auto loan crisis that's taking over the
world and it is not good when you've got
subprime defaults that are now at a
higher level than pre-pandemic you've
got a massive crisis afoot and this
crisis could actually be giving you a
heads up of what's happening with
unemployment there's a massive leading
indicator that we're going to talk about
in this video keep in mind this video is
brought to you by my programs on
building your wealth link down below
coupon code that expires next a week for
St Patty's a week and I hope you enjoy
that you get lifetime access and a price
guarantee that there's won't be possible
to get a cheaper price in the future all
right so the first thing that we have to
do is we have to understand what's
actually going on in the Autos sector so
first we know that uh payments for
vehicles have absolutely skyrocketed
thanks to growing interest rates but
it's not just that it's USA Today is
reporting that auto loan delinquencies
have surged all throughout 20 22 now
leading to a higher number of borrowers
defaulting other loads over 90 percent
of cars are bought with financing making
cars a very important aspect of a
consumer's finances ninety percent of
cars are bought with financing and all
of a sudden delinquencies of subprime
were skyrocketing then you know you've
got a problem building now card debt has
been accumulating and the situation is
getting worse at the same time as
average selling prices for vehicles are
actually falling now some are arguing
that wait a minute our price is actually
falling as there are some measures that
say prices are going up well this is
actually where things look even uglier
take a look at this post from the car
dealership guy he says so the mon the
Mannheim used vehicle index which shows
an increase in used car prices actually
tracks auctions it doesn't track what
people are are actually paying what that
means is that car dealers are paying
more for cars a lot more but the issue
is dealers are running into selling
these cars for lower prices they can't
get them sold so in other words you're
buying High selling low JD Power one of
the industry's main sources of vehicle
book values argues that Auto Lenders
rely uh or or rather JD Power is
something that Auto Lenders rely on for
vehicle collateral value have not made
any material adjustments to the upside
on car valuations so what's happening
basically is car dealers are paying more
money but they're making less money on
these valuations and car dealership guy
here says this has left dealers high and
dry without a profitable outlet for all
the inventory they just acquired over
Book value that's leading a lot of
dealers selling cars to Consumers at a
front-end law loss now a lot of people
talk about wait what's you know why
would a dealer sell a car for a loss
well here's why
you sell a car for a loss and then you
hope to make it up in the back end in
that financing office if you've ever
bought a car that's not a Tesla you know
how annoying it is that they sit you
down in that financing office and they
try to sell sell sell sell sell you they
make it seem like you have to sit
through the presentation because it's
legally required but it's just complete
BS they're just trying to make more
money off of you that's the way the car
dealership model works but anyway
speaking for myself the car dealership
guy here says our vehicle purchase price
has risen slightly risen but our average
selling price is barely budged so yes
the uh the the data that we're seeing is
accurate that in some measures prices
are going up but valuations are either
flat or going down and so this is
leading to pain because think about it
as subprime defaults are occurring and
used car prices are not actually going
up if anything they might be trending
down individuals who have a lot of
subprime Auto debt are likely facing
defaults and repossessions in fact the
repossession crisis that started mid
last year is only getting worse not
better Liberty Street
economics good Lord highlights that
young borrowers are struggling the most
with credit card and auto loan payments
a subprime loan is any loan made to a
borrower with a credit score of under
660. and delinquencies in the subprime
loan sector often lead to increases in
unemployment according to what what
charts by Morgan Stanley what we
actually happen to have exactly those
charts take a look at this piece right
here so this piece from Morgan Stanley
says implications of a recent of the
recent events on auto credit autos and
Consumer Credit are fundamentally
intertwined over 90 percent of Autos are
bought by a financial instrument our
bank teams noted that even before the
events of last week we expected net
interest margins to Peak at a lower
level than the prior cycle and move down
in Q2 2023 more deposit competition
longer term wholesale funding and less
duration risk slash more liquidity risk
means that margins will be lower for
banks that means tighter lending okay
tighter lending means even less loan
availability for people in the subprime
mortgage or subprime Auto lending Market
see it says here this won't be helpful
for Lending attitude now it's too soon
to tell what the impact will be on
demand and we should watch showroom
traffic but it's worth noting Bank auto
lending standards have already been
tightening for three months outside of a
Sharp pull vaccine into to 2020 they are
at the tightest levels since the survey
began back in 2011. now tight lending is
actually very recessionary when you
restrict borrowing you limit GDP that
can cause a recession that's the point
and that's why people like uh Jane Smith
an economist who was interviewed by uh
by The Wall Street Journal says the auto
loan crisis is a ticking Time Bomb if we
don't address it now it will have severe
consequences on the economy and the
lives of everyday individuals another
financial analyst argues the fact that
so many people owe Mower on their car
than it's worth is extremely troubling
we're looking at a massive financial
crisis if this trend continues so let's
also keep going with sort of this report
right here this report goes on to say
that the subprime auto delinquencies are
still above pre-covered levels sub Prime
delinquencies are at 5.2 percent higher
than pre-covered levels whereas Prime
delinquencies are below 0.42 percent the
difference here folks is a s let me see
661 credit score so you are a prime
borrower in cars uh with uh with above a
661 credit score thank you for shouting
out my oil call Limitless here says
Kevin props on the oil short call thank
you
a potential further pullback coincides
coincides with all-time high monthly
auto payments Rising interest rates and
substantial recovery and auto supply
this means it's bad to invest in vehicle
companies because tighter lending
standards and a recovery and Supply with
Rising interest rates makes it really
hard to see how companies like Ford and
GM could make money now that might be
different for a company like Tesla
because it's still so new it's a baby
going through the cycle if Tesla were
much more mature through this cycle it
would have the same problems
uh let's see here then we have what we
have here tightening Auto standards yeah
look at that look at that we are at the
tightest levels of Auto standards that
we've seen since 2011. yikes
uh that's definitely a compressive uh
for uh for a recession but also look at
this
this chart right here is really
interesting because it reminds you to
get Life Insurance within as little as
five minutes linked by down below by
going to metcaven.com life or getting 12
free stocks with Weeble by going to
metcaven.com Weeble that's the stock app
that I like to use on a daily basis but
this chart actually says that year over
year changes in unemployment versus year
over year uh delinquencies so basically
what they're doing is they're taking the
yellow line and they're taking
delinquency rates and they're comparing
it to the unemployment rate the blue
line so look how weird this is watch
this
Auto delinquencies in the subprime
market Spike
before unemployment spikes by about
let's see here that's February
and that's about August
of uh the next year so about 18 months
so you have about an 18 month delay and
when you get a peek in Auto
delinquencies on subprime to when you
have Peak unemployment look at where we
sit now
slowly trending up it's even too too
early to tell if we've hit a creek on
those subprimes but it's a sign that
there is a correlation between
unemployment and auto loan delinquencies
which uh you know it's interesting that
one lags the other so much you would
almost think it's the other way around
that you lose your job and then you go
delinquent but it's actually Financial
stress first that seems to then get
compounded by job loss later
anyway uh obviously uh we uh you know
we're at an environment where uh it
makes sense to potentially stay away
from financing we already know that but
this was an interesting one because what
if rates go down right because there's
this idea that well what if the FED just
cuts rates will everything be fine again
well Cox Automotive actually did a piece
on this and they stated that changes in
the FED funds rate don't have a direct
and immediate impact on the auto loan
rates instead they do influence the
general direction of uh where auto loans
are going to go but the FED cutting does
not necessarily mean we're going to see
instant drops in car loans at
dealerships they could mean more profits
for dealers in the short term as spreads
widen uh they could mean uh they could
be offset by tighter lending standards
who knows but the point out of all of
this is to say hey the auto loan crisis
is worsening there's a reason why you
have subprimes that are becoming very
diff difficult to sell as bundles
remember how that works by the way a
company that does a bunch of subprime
loan like let's let loans let's say you
do about like 10 000 subprime model
loans a company that like like that will
end up wanting to sell their subprime
mortgage portfolio right look at this
title right here on Google
Santander halts 942 million dollar auto
subprime auto loan sale amid Market
turmoil yeah because obviously who wants
to buy subprime loans when we're walking
into an environment that's potentially
defaulting so you've got yourself a
disaster and there's a big reason why
you're seeing car repossessions explode
car repossession companies are probably
the biggest uh they've been NBC News
covered this pretty thoroughly in
December car repossessions are on the
rise as an awarding sign for the economy
yeah look at that now we're getting bank
failures Auto repossessions tumbled
after the pandemic but now they're yeah
because of all the payment forgivenesses
now they're approaching pre-pandemic
levels with some worrying that we're
basically going to far exceed
pre-pandemic levels anyway you could
sort of explore that that article uh
yourself but bottom line the auto loan
crisis is a disaster and as Morgan
Stanley puts it could be pushing us
towards that could good old recession
whether it's tighter lending standards
more defaults or unemployment it's a
disaster
