StreetAccount Summary - Asian Market Preview: Nikkei Futures +0.66%, Hang Seng Futures +1.85%, ASX SPI 200 +0.34%, S&P Futures +0.08%

Jun 06 ,2023

  • Synopsis:

    • Asia equities are poised to open higher on Wednesday. Hang Seng futures were sharply firmer, followed by Japan and Australia. Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index rallied 3.77%. Follows moderate bounce in US markets overnight in an uneventful session. Nasdaq strength continues, though more of the attention went to Russell 2000 outperformance. US futures steady after hours. Treasuries were mostly weaker with curve flattening. Dollar index rose 0.1%. Gold finished up 0.4%, Bitcoin futures up 6.1%, and WTI crude declined 0.6%.

    • No major market catalysts with focus on next week's Fed meeting. Discussions continue to revolve around valuations with S&P 500 on the cusp of bull market territory. Developed market concerns over macro vulnerabilities continue with central banks maintaining a tightening stance as inflation remains elevated despite coming off its peak. Asia dynamics remain highlighted by China market weakness and indications global investors are allocating new money elsewhere in the region, particularly Japan. Apple's Vision Pro unveil prompted some encouraging takeaways from Japanese suppliers, though implications boil down to actual demand.

    • In latest headlines, a US official said Secretary of State Blinken will travel to China for talks in coming weeks though no elaboration on timing. World Bank lifted 2023 GDP forecast to acknowledge surprising resilience, though downgraded 2024 -- both projections remain bearish relative to IMF projections. Regional events today largely focused on Australia -- Q1 GDP and speeches by RBA Governor Lowe, Deputy Governor Bullock. China customs trade also slated for release.
