StreetAccount Summary - Asian Market Preview: Nikkei Futures +1.11%, Hang Seng Futures +0.25%, ASX SPI 200 +0.35%, S&P Futures +0.19%

Apr 23 ,2024

  • Synopsis:

    • Asian markets set for mixed start to Wednesday trade. Nikkei, Hang Seng and ASX futures all pointing to gains on the open. US contracts advancing afterhours with TSLA +12% amid positive reception to EV rollout update. Australian and New Zealand bond yields up marginally after Treasury curve bull steepened overnight. Dollar index neared two-week low following latest pullback, though yen steady near 34-year low. Gold flat. Crude rebounded. Bitcoin range bound.

    • Market bounce attributed to lower rates and dollar weakness following softer US flash PMI. Better earnings takeaways, oversold conditions, short covering and lack of escalation of Middle East tensions among other factors attributed for this week's recovery on equity markets. Around Asia, recent China market outperformance prompted more sell-side equity upgrades.

    • Australian CPI forecast to show headline inflation picking up on a q/q basis, and trimmed mean inflation unchanged. While that leave inflation broadly tracking RBA's forecasts, previews noted services components to indicate continued stickiness. Economists argue it would take a material downside surprise in CPI for RBA to soften guidance at next month's meeting.

    • Nikkei preview suggested BOJ board members to discuss yen weakness at Friday's meeting. However, no near-term policy implications with BOJ reportedly yet to see evidence of yen weakness impacting trend inflation and members in no rush to hike again. Consensus remains for an October rate hike with July viewed as most likely month for an earlier move.
