StreetAccount Summary - Asian Market Preview: Nikkei Futures +1.28%, Hang Seng Futures +1.14%, ASX SPI 200 +1.06%, S&P Futures (0.06%)

Jun 04 ,2023

  • Synopsis:

    • Asian markets set for a positive start to Monday trade. Nikkei, Hang Seng and ASX futures all pointing to gains of at least 1% on the open. S&P 500 futures steady while Nasdaq futures have eased. Big bear flattening move in Australian yields ahead of Tuesday's RBA meeting. Dollar strengthening on major crosses. Crude leading commodity market gains as base and precious metals trade lower.

    • Crude rallying after Saudi Arabia announced unilateral crude output cut of 1M bpd in July and flagged an extension if needed. Other OPEC+ nations opted to leave their production unchanged. Comes after group made a surprise decision in April to cut output by 1.6M bpd, which failed to lift crude prices amid broader concerns around slowing global economy and dampened China reopening momentum.

    • Pickup in recession concerns driven in large part by China's weaker growth outlook and lack of meaningful policy response, which have corresponded with a sharp fall in commodities and Chinese equities hurtling into a bear market. However, Bloomberg reported China's regulators working on new round of property market support measures, reigniting hopes for more stimulus to revive the economy.

    • Shangri-La Dialogue underscored still-tense US-China relations after Beijing's defense chief refused to meet US Defense Secretary Austin. Li Shangfu vowed China would not back down on taking Taiwan while Austin criticized Beijing for refusing to resume military dialogue. Comes after FT reported CIA director Bill Burns travelled to China last month in bid to ease tensions, marking highest level visit by US official since Jul-2021. However, no signs from China about a broader restoration of high-level communications.

    • Markets still only pricing in 31% probability of a June Fed rate hike following another hot US payrolls print. While data supports soft landing expectations, the uptick in unemployment rate and weaker hourly wage growth prevented a hawkish repricing of the rate path. However, Fed officials continue to stick with their tightening bias given still-elevated inflation. Markets have largely priced out dovish pivot in 2023 and see greater than even chance of a July rate increase..
