StreetAccount Summary - Asian Market Preview: Nikkei Futures +0.29%, Hang Seng Futures +0.06%, ASX SPI 200 (0.25%), S&P Futures (0.01%)

Sep 05 ,2023

  • Synopsis:

    • Asian markets set for a mixed start to Wednesday trade. Nikkei futures pointing to mild gains on the open, Hang Seng futures flat and ASX futures signaling declines at the start of trade. US contracts flat following a quiet Tuesday session. Asian bond market weakness continues with Australian and New Zealand yield curves steepening. Yen turning up from lows, dollar steady elsewhere after hitting six-month high. Crude settled below best levels following Saudi/Moscow output cut extension. Iron ore futures highest since April following Beijing's latest property support measures

    • Crude traded towards 10-month high after Saudi Arabia and Russia extended output cuts through year-end. Goldman Sachs noted production cuts have returned oil market to deficit. Development plays into broader concerns disinflation momentum may have peaked, complicating central bank efforts and potentially leaving rates higher for longer. CME's FedWatch shows market still pricing in no further Fed rate hikes, but odds of another increase by year-end have risen.

    • Mixed takeaways from RBA's hold decision Tuesday. Some economists still expect 1-2 rate hikes by-year end though others pointed to RBA's assessment that macro trends are consistent with its projections. No further rate hikes being priced in by markets. Attention turns to Australian Q2 GDP today and forecasts for a pickup in growth. Details on consumption and unit labor costs may receive closer scrutiny than headline figure after RBA elevated their importance in determining policy decisions.
