Here's what Asia will be waking up to soon, not a pretty picture.
In summary:
-
U.S. equity markets:
-
Nasdaq gains 0.2%, while broader indices decline... Nvidia’s plan to resume AI chip sales to China (ForexLive gave the heads up on this yesterday) lifted sentiment ... Tech is the only S&P 500 sector to finish higher.
-
Russell 2000 small cap index drops 1.7%.
-
-
Global bond yields rise (Japan notably so ... ):
-
Japanese 10-year yield hits 1.595%, highest since 2008.
-
Japanese 20-year and 30-year yields hit record highs at 2.65% and 3.20%.
-
U.S. 30-year Treasury yield rises back above 5.00%.
-
-
Dollar strength:
-
Dollar index rises for the seventh straight session, best streak since October 2023.
-
-
Global equities hit record highs before dropping back:
-
Despite rising inflation and bond yields, Nasdaq, FTSE 100, and MSCI World Index touch new peaks.
-
-
Market sentiment weakens through the session:
-
U.S. inflation data broadly in line, but investors focus on upside risks.
-
Positive bank earnings fail to lift financial sector.
-
-
Investor concerns grow over fiscal and inflation risks:
-
Worries resurface about government debt, tariffs, and inflationary pressures.
-
Rising bond yields cast a shadow over equities.
-
-
Japan political risk adds pressure:
-
Investor anxiety ahead of Japan’s Upper House election, this weekend (Japan election jitters rattle bond market as investors brace for fiscal shift).
-
PM Ishiba’s approval ratings drop; risk of coalition shake-up or resignation looms.
-
-
Yen weakens despite higher Japanese yields:
-
Rising yields fail to support yen due to concerns over fiscal strain, Bank of Japan constraints, and stagflation fears.
-
This could very well be a VERY interesting Asia session! Like a Chinese curse interesting, that is ;-)
