updates: Asian equities continued to rise on Wednesday as comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell reignited hopes of a US rate cut later this year. Singapore stocks climbed 1.6% to their highest levels since April 2022, while Taiwan equities rose 1.1%. Seoul shares gained 0.5% after the government announced tax benefits for companies that raise shareholder returns. The South Korean government also pledged support for struggling small businesses and the construction sector. Manila, Kuala Lumpur, and Bangkok stocks gained between 0.3% and 0.8%. The South Korean won and Thai baht both fell 0.2%. China's yuan hit a seven-month low against the dollar due to lackluster economic data and a lower trading range set by the central bank. Other regional currencies remained flat. Investors are awaiting inflation data from Thailand, the Philippines, and Taiwan this week. The World Bank cut its 2024 Thai GDP growth outlook to 2.4% due to weaker exports. South Korea's President Yoon stated that headline inflation is stabilizing. Thailand plans additional measures to boost growth to 3% [185fca4b]. World stocks rose as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's comments reinforced expectations of U.S. rate cuts. MSCI's world share index reached a new record high, with Europe's STOXX 600 index also higher. Asian shares, including Japan's Nikkei, rose. Powell stated that the U.S. is back on a 'disinflationary path' but cautioned that more data is needed before considering rate cuts. U.S. Treasury yields fell in response to Powell's comments. Traders are pricing in a 69% chance of a Fed rate cut in September. The yen reached a 38-year low against the dollar, dropping over 12% this year due to the interest rate gap between the U.S. and Japan. Oil prices rose on hopes of solid fuel demand during the summer driving season. China's services activity expanded at the slowest pace in eight months, and confidence hit a four-year low in June. The euro and pound both rose against the dollar. Friday's nonfarm payrolls data and Britain's national election are upcoming market focuses [e2d29f69].

Version 0.37 (2024-04-12 21:19:10.578000)
updates: The strength of the US economy and the relative safety of the world’s most traded currency helped push the dollar to its biggest weekly gain in more than a year and a half. The dollar's safe-haven status and hotter-than-expected inflation data sent a Bloomberg gauge of the dollar up more than 1.4% from Monday’s open to its close Friday — the largest weekly advance since September 2022. Underpinning the latest bout of dollar strength was a key reading of US consumer price growth that topped estimates Wednesday, leading swaps traders to rein in expectations for a near-term policy shift and price around two rate cuts this year from the Federal Reserve beginning around September. Asset managers, hedge funds, and other speculative market players are now the most positive on the greenback since the fall of 2022 as measured in dollars, according to the latest Commodity Futures Trading Commission data through April 9th as aggregated by Bloomberg. The net long exposure among these non-commercial traders now totals around $17.5 billion, the CFTC data released Friday showed.

updates: Asian markets stumbled on Monday as the latest US jobs report dampened hopes for an early rate cut. The non-farm payrolls data showed that the US economy remains resilient, contradicting expectations of a slowdown. Investors had been betting on interest rate cuts due to falling inflation and a softening labor market. However, the Federal Reserve's December meeting minutes indicated that rates would remain elevated. As a result, markets in Sydney, Seoul, Singapore, Mumbai, Manila, Jakarta, Bangkok, and Wellington all declined. Tech giants also experienced a sell-off in Hong Kong and Shanghai. In contrast, US indexes ended slightly higher. Attention now turns to US consumer price figures later in the week, which will provide further insight into the state of the economy. European stocks also fell after the forecast US jobs report dashed hopes for an early interest rate cut. The nonfarm payrolls data showed that the US economy is holding steady, dealing a blow to expectations of a rate cut in the next few months. Wall Street finished slightly higher on Friday, but the positive finish failed to carry over into Monday's trading. Hong Kong, Shanghai, London, Paris, and Frankfurt all fell.
