StreetAccount Summary - Asian Market Preview: Nikkei Futures (1.25%), Hang Seng Futures +0.02%, ASX SPI 200 +0.37%, S&P Futures +0.07%

Jul 30 ,2024

  • Synopsis:

    • Asian markets set for mixed start Wednesday. Futures pointing to opening declines in Japan while Hang Seng and ASX tracking for mild gains. Nasdaq futures gaining afterhours amid post-earnings volatility. Australian front-end bond yields declining ahead of Q2 CPI. Crude off lows following larger-than-forecast API inventory draw. Gold little changed. FX markets steady following yen outperformance. Bitcoin steady after extending retreat from $70K.

    • Latest yen strength followed Japan press reports BOJ to weigh hiking interest rates to 0.25% from 0-0.1% at today's meeting. Echoed previous source articles in noting some board members favor hiking rates with inflation above 2% and rising in-line with projections. Central bank will also reveal JGB taper details with consensus looking for initial cut to monthly purchases from ¥6T to ¥5T and further reduction to ¥3T over two years.

    • Fed expected to leave interest rates unchanged Wednesday. Previews anticipate dovish changes to language on inflation and labor market. While Chair Powell expected to avoid committing to any timeline for cutting rates and reemphasize data dependency, consensus remains for a first 25 bp reduction in September. Some thought explicit easing signal may instead come at Jackson Hole Symposium in August.

    • China official PMI forecast to show manufacturing shrunk at a slightly quicker pace in July. Non-manufacturing activity also expected to have decelerated, indicating economy continued to lose momentum in early Q3. Leaders held Politburo meeting Tuesday where they recognized ongoing weakness in demand and pledged "incremental" efforts to boost consumption. Cautious takeaways with economists pointing to lack of specifics.

    • Mag 7 earnings in focus with MSFT down 3.6% in post-market trade. Market disappointed with Cloud revenue growth slowdown, notwithstanding increased contribution from AI. Company also guided Q4 Azure revenue growth below consensus and at bottom end of its range. AMD up 8% after Q3 revenue guidance topped expectations with group raising projection for AI accelerators. In other news, Bloomberg sources noted INTC to cut thousands of jobs in bid to reduce costs.
