Version 0.71 (2024-06-27 05:57:02.636000)

updates: The yen's slide past 160-per-dollar had currency traders bracing for Japan to step in and steady it. The dollar made six-week highs on sterling and the kiwi. Shares in bellwether chipmaker Micron Technology slid 8% in U.S. after-hours trade. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan fell 0.7% with some of the largest losses in Australia. Australian three-year government bond yields had leapt 18 basis points on Wednesday, after inflation accelerated to a six-month high in May, and rose another 7 bps on Thursday to 4.18%, tracking an overnight sell-off in U.S. Treasuries. In foreign exchange markets U.S. yields have supported the dollar, especially against the yen and yuan where the gap to domestic yields are the largest. China's yuan slid to a seven-month low of 7.689 per dollar, with the central bank weakening the currency's trading band and data showing a sharp slowdown in The yen, which slumped to a lifetime low 171.79 per euro on Wednesday was fragile at 171.57 in Asia and at 160.4 per dollar was weaker than levels which prompted Japanese intervention in April and May. In real terms it is its weakest in more than five decades, said Capital Economics' Thomas Matthews and its slide is driving up bets of a policy response from the Bank of Japan, sending Japanese 10-year yields up 5.5 bps to 1.075% on Thursday. Japanese finance minister Shunichi reiterated that the government is concerned about the impact of the sliding yen on the economy and watching the currency market closely. After falling overnight the New Zealand dollar dipped a further 0.1% to a six-week low of $0.6069 on Thursday and sterling nudged to a six-week trough of $1.2613. The dollar index made a two-month high of 106.13 on Wednesday and is up 1.3% for the month and almost 1.5% for the quarter as expectations for rate cuts in the U.S. have been pushed back by stubborn inflation and strong economic data. Benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yields rose 1.5 bps in Tokyo to 4.33% for a rise of 14 bps for the quarter so far. In commodity markets Brent crude futures fell 0.2% to $85.07 a barrel, a 2.8% drop for the quarter so far. Gold slipped as yields rose and traded at $2,299 an ounce.

The rally is showing signs of petering out due to strong US economic and labor market data. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 recovered thanks to a bounce in Nvidia.

Version 0.62 (2024-06-26 09:56:43.049000)

updates: Asian and European markets mostly rose following a tech-led bounce on Wall Street. Investors are preparing for the release of crucial US inflation data. The yen fell back towards levels that have stirred intervention warnings from Japanese officials. The euro remained under pressure ahead of weekend elections in France. The Federal Reserve's preferred gauge of inflation, the personal consumption expenditures index, will be released on Friday. Comments from two Fed governors did little to lift hopes for a rate cut. Equity markets have been supported by expectations of policy easing. The rally is showing signs of petering out due to strong US economic data and concerns about valuations.
