StreetAccount Summary - Asian Market Preview: Nikkei Futures (0.52%), Hang Seng Futures (0.08%), ASX SPI 200 +0.69%, S&P Futures (0.03%)

Mar 24 ,2024

  • Synopsis:

    • Asian markets set for mixed start to Monday trade. Futures signaling declines in Japan as ASX builds on opening gains. S&P 500 futures little changed after index posted best weekly performance of the year. Bond rally continues with Australian and New Zealand yield curves flattening. Yen edging higher after falling to cusp of its lowest against dollar since mid-1990. Bitcoin extending weekend rebound. Crude and gold inching higher.

    • Last week's central bank meetings provided tailwind for risk assets with most of the attention on Fed's unchanged 2024 projection for three rate cuts. BOJ's stimulus exit went relatively smoothly with decision widely telegraphed and Governor Ueda stressing gradualist approach to tightening. Dovish takeaways from RBA, SNB and BOE decisions strengthened rate cut narrative, contributing to yield curve bull steepening.

    • At the same time there remains risks to the dovish narrative after Fed revised up 2025 and 2026 dots while 2024 dot looking shakier after one policymaker revised down their projection. Inflation acceleration and yen weakness prompting thoughts BOJwill follow-up with another rate hike as soon as July. Latest PMIs also revealed input cost pressures, underlining potential for bumpy inflation path and risk that quantum of rate cuts being priced in fail to materalize.
