    Labour market data in the US showed some softening as non-farm payrolls rose by 209K (est.: 230k) in Jun’23. This is the weakest pace since Dec’20. However, wage growth remained sticky (average hourly earnings rose at the same pace of 0.4%, MoM basis). Thus, signalling that Fed fund rates are likely to remain elevated for some time. Elsewhere, in Germany, industrial production fell by 0.2% in May’23 from 0.3% increase in Apr’23. In China, PPI deflation (-5.4% in Jun’23 from -4.6% in May’23, YoY) deepened to its lowest in 7 years and CPI drooped to its 28-month low (0% from 0.2%). Both core PPI and CPI noticed a drop, reflecting weaker demand conditions. Thus, more stimulus on PBOC’s front may be forthcoming. On domestic front, progress of monsoon has picked pace with cumulative rainfall at 2% above LPA (long period average) as of 9 July against a deficit of 8% last week.


    Global markets ended in red as investors tracked the key US jobs report. While the pace of job additions softened, wage growth remained robust. Investors now await corporate earnings results and US inflation report to assess the future path of rates. Nikkei declined the most by 1.2%, followed by Hang Seng which shed 0.9%. Sensex too dipped by 0.8%, amidst a fall in power and real estate stocks. However, it is trading higher today, in line with other Asian stocks.

    Inflation data prints in the US and India were the primary market movers. In the US, inflation rose less than expected by 0.2% (est. 0.3%) in Jun’23, on MoM basis. The YoY print of 3% was the lowest since Mar’21. Even core CPI moderated to 0.2% (MoM) and 4.8% (YoY). This has raised hopes that Fed may be soon nearing its end of rate hike cycle. Elsewhere in India, CPI rose more than expected by 4.8%. Thus the gap between India and US inflation rate has widened to 1.8% in Jun’23 from 0.3% in May’23. However, RBI’s decision would be contingent on the evolution of domestic growth and inflation dynamics. In China, signs of slowdown were reflected in the weak export performance, which fell by 12.8% in Jun’23, on YoY basis. Notably, export growth of the region remained weak in 4 out of 6 months of CY23.


    US stocks rejoiced as softening inflation print has led to expectations of a possible end to the Fed’s rate hike cycle. Both S&P 500 and Dow Jones ended higher. Amongst other indices, FTSE rose the most by 1.8%, led by gains in banking and mining stocks. Asian indices ended mixed. Sensex declined 0.3%, as technology shares retreated. However, it is trading higher today, in line with other Asian stocks.

    In the US, PPI data also showed some degree of softening in prices as both on MoM and YoY basis (0.1% each) it moderated more than expected. On YoY basis, it was the smallest increase since CY20. Elsewhere, Fed official Mary Daly also expressed comfort on inflation print in Jun’23. Thus market is pricing in the peak of interest rate hike cycle to come soon. The labour market data surprised as jobless claims rose more than expected to 237K (est.: 250K). In the UK, monthly GDP contracted by 0.1%, which is less than expectation of -0.3%. ECB minutes reflected restrictive policy to continue. Even BoJ ex-official signalled some degree of adjustment in the yield curve control policy. PBOC’s Deputy Governor on the other hand spoke of more stimulus.


    Global markets ended higher as a slowing US inflation has raised the likelihood that the Fed may pause after a final rate hike in Jul’23. Markets in Asia rose sharply, brushing off weakness in China’s trade data. Hang Seng rose the most, followed by Nikkei. Gains in Sensex were more modest at 0.3%, and were led by technology and real estate stocks. It is trading further higher today, in line with other Asian stocks.
