StreetAccount Summary - Asian Market Preview: Nikkei Futures +0.08%, Hang Seng Futures +0.60%, ASX SPI 200 +0.54%, S&P Futures (0.22%)

Jun 12 ,2025

  • Synopsis:

    • Asian markets set for positive start to Friday trade. Futures signaling opening gains in Hong Kong and Australia, and flat start in Japan. S&P 500 futures retreating afterhours. Australian bonds rallying, taking cues from Treasury curve bull flattening overnight. Dollar steady against majors after falling back to early April lows. Crude swinging higher amid elevated Middle East tensions. Gold flat. Bitcoin extending declines towards one-week low.

    • Trade headlines leaning a little hawkish after Trump mused about raising 25% auto tariffs to strengthen domestic manufacturing. Talks with Japan, India and EU also said to be challenging going into G7 leaders' summit this weekend, where Trump is expected to hold bilateral meetings in bid to move talks forward. Also limited traction from US-China framework agreement with discussions since having turned to export controls (particularly on rare earths) as risk to global supply chains.

    • Rate downshift aided by Treasury 30Y auction that was met with solid demand. Softer inflation prints contributed to pullback in yields after US PPI came in weaker than expected and saw markets back to pricing in two Fed rate cuts in 2025. Pickup in Fed rate cut expectations a factor behind dollar extending recent retreat to post-Liberation Day lows. Dollar weakness also tying into longstanding Trump 2.0 policy uncertainty and deficit concerns as headwinds on the US exceptionalism trade narrative.

    • Not much on in way of economic data. China May credit data tentatively scheduled for today with consensus looking rebound in new loans and pickup in M2 money growth following Geneva tariff truce. Overnight, India inflation fell to more than six-year low in May, backing RBI's 50 bp rate cut this month. University of Michigan surveys due out later on Friday, following recent ramp in tariff-related inflation expectations and slide in consumer sentiment.
