Version 1.61 (2024-08-02 06:05:28.487000)

updates: Tokyo stocks plunged over 5% on August 2, led by a 5.8% drop in the Nikkei 225 index, following a tech-driven retreat on Wall Street. The decline was triggered by signs of weakness in the US economy, including weaker-than-expected US manufacturing data for July and a decrease in private sector job growth. Concerns over the course of the US economy were further fueled by the US factory sector shrinking faster than forecast for the fourth consecutive month. US chip titan Intel also announced a 15% reduction in its workforce, contributing to a nearly 19% decline in its shares. These factors led to a sell-off in Tokyo stocks, with major manufacturers and technology-related shares experiencing heavy selling. Other Asian markets, including Hang Seng, Shanghai Composite, Kospi, and Taiex, also suffered losses. The broader risk-off tone in the markets was driven by weak US manufacturing data and an increase in jobless claims, which may give the Federal Reserve more leeway to cut interest rates in September. Japanese exporters are particularly vulnerable to the appreciation of the yen, as it erodes the value of their overseas earnings. The decline in Tokyo stocks reflects dampened investor sentiment and rising concerns about the US economy. The Bank of Japan's decision to hike interest rates for the second time in 17 years also contributed to the sell-off. Overall, the global stock market decline and economic concerns have led to a volatile trading environment, with commodity prices fluctuating and oil prices surging.

US chip titan Intel will slash more than 15 percent of its workforce as it streamlines operations. Tokyo Electron lost 10 percent and Sony shed more than six percent.

updates: Asian and European stock markets rose today as investors awaited fresh U.S., European, and global inflation data for more clarity on the outlook for interest rates. Last week, Federal Reserve officials warned they wanted more evidence that prices were being brought under control, fueling worries they might not cut interest rates this year. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both benefited from figures showing one-year expectations for prices edged down slightly, while consumer sentiment picked up. Asian markets were also boosted by news that profits at China's industrial companies rose in April. European markets rose despite a survey showing German business sentiment stagnated in May. London and Wall Street were closed for a holiday. Focus is now turning to the release of the U.S. personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index, which is the Fed's preferred gauge of inflation. Eurozone inflation data for May will be released on Friday. Oil prices extended last week's gains ahead of a key June 2 meeting of OPEC and other major producers. In company news, the stock price of Evergrande New Energy Vehicle, the electric vehicle arm of China's Evergrande, more than doubled after it emerged liquidators were in talks with potential buyers. European stocks rose after an ECB official indicated possible interest rate cuts starting next month. US and UK markets were closed for holidays. US stock futures were flat and the dollar gauge fell. The ECB should not rule out cutting borrowing costs at its June and July meetings. A rate cut in June was widely announced, but subsequent steps are uncertain. Inflation data this week may show a rise in the eurozone. Gold rose and copper futures fell. Oil advanced after the biggest weekly loss in four weeks. The IMF is holding discussions with Ukrainian authorities for an economic policies review. Key events this week include presidential elections in South Africa, the release of the Fed's 'Beige Book' economic survey, and GDP data for Canada, the Eurozone, and Turkey. S&P 500 futures rose 0.2%, the MSCI World Index rose 0.2%, and the Stoxx Europe 600 index rose 0.3%. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index fell 0.2%. Bitcoin and Ethereum both rose 2.6%. China-related equities are expected to gain, while other Asian stocks are muted ahead of global inflation data that will influence monetary policy. Shares of China's major chip stocks rose after Beijing announced a semiconductor investment fund. Oil prices are rising ahead of an OPEC+ supply meeting and the start of the summer driving season. Traders are awaiting fresh inflation data from Australia, Japan, the euro region, and the US. The ECB shouldn't rule out lowering borrowing costs at both its June and July meetings, according to Governing Council member Francois Villeroy de Galhau. Gold prices are up, while copper futures fell. Some key events this week include the IMF's discussions with Ukrainian authorities, the South African election, and GDP data for Canada, the Eurozone, and Turkey. World shares firmed on Monday as investors braced for a busy run of inflation data that could set the scene for a European rate cut as soon as next week and a U.S. policy easing within just a few months. MSCI's broadest index of stocks gained 0.2%, having slipped 0.38% last week and just shy of an all-time peak of over 796. Median forecasts expect this week will see a rise of 0.3% in the PCE price index in April according to a Reuters poll, keeping the annual pace at 2.8%, with risks on the downside. Figures for inflation in the euro zone are also due on Friday and economists believe an expected tick up to 2.5% should not stop the European Central Bank from easing policy next week. The Bank of Canada might also ease next week, while the Fed is seen waiting until September for its first move. European stocks were subdued on Monday, with several major markets closed and investors taking a cautious stance ahead of this week's inflation data. The pan-European STOXX 600 index was up 0.2% at 1228 GMT. With the U.S. and UK markets closed on Monday, trading activity was light across the board. S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures remained steady, as the market would next open on Tuesday. The Nasdaq hit record highs last week after Nvidia beat expectations. In currency markets, attention was again centred on the yen and the risk of Japanese intervention ahead of the 160.00 level. The dollar stood at 156.84 yen, having added 0.9% last week and close to its recent top of 160.245. Japan renewed its push to counter excessive yen falls during a weekend gathering of Group of Seven (G7) finance leaders, after a recent rise in bond yields to a 12-year high failed to slow the currency's decline. The euro steadied at $1.0850, and short of its recent top at $1.0895. Gold rose about 0.6% to $2,348 an ounce, having recoiled 3.4% last week and off an al-time peak of $2,449.89. Oil prices were stuck near four-month lows amid concerns about demand, as the U.S. driving season gets underway this week. Investors are waiting to see if OPEC+ will debate new output cuts at an online meeting on June 2, though analysts doubt there will be a consensus for a move. Brent was up 55 cents at $82.67 a barrel, while U.S. crude rose 55 cents to $778.27 per barrel. [03951904]

Version 0.49 (2024-05-15 02:53:40.052000)

updates: Asian markets wobbled ahead of key US inflation data later in the day. A report showing a forecast-beating rise in April wholesale prices was offset by a downward revision for the previous month. Investors were also digesting a warning from the central bank's boss that the battle against prices was proving tougher than expected. Beijing hit out at Washington's decision to impose steep tariff hikes on Chinese imports. All focus is on the release of the consumer price index (CPI), which will likely play a key role in the Fed's decision on when to start cutting interest rates. The CPI release comes after Fed chief Jerome Powell said readings at the start of the year had lowered his level of confidence that price rises would slow back down towards officials' long-term target. Asian markets were mixed, with Tokyo, Sydney, Taipei, and Jakarta rising but Shanghai, Singapore, Wellington, and Manila falling.

Version 0.45 (2024-05-14 05:53:24.765000)

updates: Stocks near record highs and Bill Hwang and Roaring Kitty in the headlines lend this week an air of deja vu ahead of U.S. inflation data. British labour numbers, German sentiment, U.S. producer prices, an appearance from Jerome Powell and earnings releases due through Tuesday take a back seat to Wednesday's CPI figure. As in 2021, it's expected to begin with a 3 and markets are trying to guess whether signs of inflation picking up were a blip or a trend. A downside surprise is likely to loosen the shackles on stock rallies in Hong Kong, London and New York. Currency markets were largely marking time ahead of the CPI release with the dollar trading firmly and pushing the yen to its weakest since it was swinging wildly at the start of May, when traders reckoned Japanese authorities had intervened. GameStop (NYSE:) and other so-called meme stocks soared Monday after flag bearer Roaring Kitty - real name Keith Gill - posted on X.com for the first time in three years, in perhaps a hint at the froth that could be unleashed if CPI undershoots.
