    Global central banks are expected to remain data dependent as they continue to battle elevated inflation. Recently released data including the PCE (4.6% versus 4.7%) report concluded that inflation has cooled off in May more than expected pointing to the desired results of the Fed’s rate hike cycle. According to the CME FedWatch tool, markets are now anticipating 84% likelihood of 25bps rate hike by Fed in the upcoming Jul’23 meet. Global indices ended in green, while Dollar softened as Fed is expected to become less aggressive on rate hike. Crude prices settled higher despite some concerns over dampening demand.


    Barring Nikkei and Hang Seng, other global indices closed higher. Strong economic data from the US (GDP) along with US banks passing Fed’s annual stress test, lifted investor sentiments. Europe’s stock indices edged up after Eurozone’s inflation came in lower than anticipated. Sensex too surged, led by gains in IT and auto stocks. It is trading higher today, in line with other Asian stocks.

    Global yields closed mixed. Weaker than expected core PCE print for May’23 has reignited hopes of Fed ending the rate hike cycle after its Jul’23 policy meeting. Yields in UK inched up as market participants are pricing in 70% chance that BoE’s policy rate will push up to 6.25% by the year end. India’s 10Y yield rose sharply by 6bps (to highest since Apr-end), owing to concerns over demand and supply of papers in Q2, as was also visible in the results of weekly auction by RBI.

    Fears of slowdown in US economy were back yet again after ISM manufacturing PMI (46 from 46.9 in May’23) reading came in at the same level as was last seen during Covid-19 wave. Thus, further adding to the risk of recession. India’s manufacturing PMI eased marginally to 57.8 in Jun’23 form 58.7 in May’23, though it remained in the expansionary mode. Led by strong domestic and international demand, new orders and output rose sharply. Furthermore, future business activity which climbed to its highest level added to the optimism. Separately, Japanese Yen currently has been under intervention alert with Japan’s Finance Minister warning against any excessive selling. Investors will track upcoming Fed minutes and June payrolls report scheduled later this week.


    Barring Dow Jones (flat) and FTSE (lower), other global indices closed higher. Investors remained uncertain over the next move by global Central Banks. Fed minutes scheduled to release later this week might offer some clarity on the same. Hang Seng surged the most followed by Nikkei. Sensex too climbed up, led by strong gains in oil & gas and metal stocks. It is trading further higher today, while other Asian stocks are trading lower.

Separately, Australia’s Central Bank (RBA) maintained status quo, though they warned, more tightening might be required.

    Following the release of Fed minutes, recent macro data (Private payrolls, ISM services PMI at 53.9 from 50.3) brought back the likelihood of more rate hikes. The private payrolls climbed much higher than anticipated to 497K from 267K in May. Fed’s Dallas President commented ‘more restrictive policy’ will continue, given the strong labour market and inflation outlook remaining above target. Amidst the rate hike fears, global indices ended in red, while 10Y yields climbed higher as the focus would return towards battling elevated inflation. This comes ahead of the US non- farm payrolls data which is expected to surprise positively.


    Except Sensex, other global indices largely ended lower. Sharp sell-off in the market was triggered by early signs of strong labour market (surge in private payroll data), which stoked fears of aggressive rate tightening by Fed. Amongst other indices, Hang Seng (3%) declined the most followed by FTSE (2.2%). On the other hand, Sensex ended in green, led by strong gains in real estate and oil & gas stocks. However, it is trading lower today, in line with other Asian stocks.

    Apart from INR (lower) and CNY (flat), other global currencies closed higher against the dollar. DXY fell by 0.2%, despite macro data supporting Fed’s hawkish stance. ECB President’s speech reaffirming need for tighter monetary policy, lifted EUR. INR fell by 0.3%, even as oil prices dipped. It is trading further lower today, in line with other Asian currencies.

    Barring China (flat), other global yields closed higher. 10Y yields in UK (+17bps), Germany (+15bps) and US (+10bps) rose sharply. Stronger than anticipated macro data from the US (ADP employment, ISM services PMI), has increased bets on the possibility of 2nd rate hike by Fed. BoE is also expected to aggressively hike rates to peak at 6.5% (earlier 6.25%). India’s 10Y rose by 4bps to 7.15%, following global cues. It is trading further higher today at 7.16%.
