    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.


    Most global indices ended higher on the back of the softer than expected inflation print from the US. Both Dow Jones and Hang Seng rose by 0.3% ahead of the release of the earnings report in US. A lot of these gains have emerged from technology stocks with soaring valuations. Sensex rose, led by gains in IT and metal stocks. It is trading further higher today, while other Asian stocks fell.

    As China’s economy is showing mixed signs of growth (industrial production up; moderation in retail sales and FAI), investors are expecting a global growth slowdown in Q3. In the wake of this, and slowing prices in the US, analysts expect Fed to pause after announcing a final 25bps hike in Jul’23. Some are even betting on a rate cut from Dec’23. On the other hand, it is certain that BoE and ECB will continue hiking rates for some time. RBA in its minutes released today, also reaffirmed that some more tightening maybe needed as inflation is tending to be stickier than anticipated. Domestically, RBI in its bulletin cautioned that the fight against inflation is not over, and highlighted that growth prospects still remain bright.


    Global indices ended mixed. US indices climbed up ahead of the Q2 earnings season and the release of key macro data (retail sales and industrial production). Shanghai Comp slipped, weighed down by poor GDP print for Q2. On the other hand, Sensex rose, led by strong gains in banking and oil & gas stocks. It is trading higher today, while other Asian stocks are trading mixed.

    Global yields mostly ended lower, with 10Y yields in US and Germany (-3bps) dropping the most.

India’s 10Y also declined by 2bps following global cues and dip in oil prices. It is trading broadly flat today at 7.07%.

    US industrial production (MoM) in Jun’23 fell again by (-) 0.5% (est.: 0%), at an unchanged rate from May’23. However, manufacturing output fell faster by (-0.3%) in Jun’23, compared with (-) 0.2% in May’23. Contraction in output of mining and utilities also accelerated. Retail sales (MoM) slowed from 0.5% in May’23 to 0.2% (est.: 0.5%) in Jun’23. Retail sales (ex-automobiles & gasoline) also eased to 0.3% from 0.5%. Weaker than anticipated macro data has raised hopes of Fed pausing after Jul’23. ECB officials also believe that inflation may cool down faster, giving wind to expectations of rate cut from Sep’23 onwards. Canada’s inflation (2.8% in Jun’23 versus 3.4%) has also fallen within BoC’s targeted range (a first time Mar’21).


    Barring Hang Seng and Shanghai Comp, other global indices ended higher. Dow Jones climbed up by 1.1% on the back of strong earnings report, offsetting any negative commentary (weaker than anticipated retail sales). Rally in the domestic market was led by IT and power stocks that drove the Sensex to an all-time high. It is further trading higher today in line with other Asian stocks.

  • 20 July 2023

    UK’s retail inflation print for Jun’23 came in lower than expected (8.2%) at 7.9%, down from 8.7% in May’23. Core inflation also eased, but remains elevated at 6.9% (7.1% in May’23). Dip in fuel prices helped bring headline number down. This has increased hopes of BoE hiking rates less aggressively, and there are less chances of policy rate crossing 6% mark (currently at 5%). In US, single-family housing starts fell by 7% in Jun’23, following 18.7% jump in May’23 and multi-family starts were down by 11.6%. In case of building permits (proxy for future construction activity), they rose for single-family homes but declined for multi-family homes. China has kept its lending rates unchanged, despite current weakness in economy.


    Barring Hang Seng (lower) and Shanghai Comp (flat), other global indices ended higher. Stocks in the UK rallied after inflation cooled off, thus easing pressure on BoE. US stocks continued to advance, supported by earnings report. Sensex too ended in green with gains in power and consumer durable stocks. It is trading lower today while other Asian indices are trading mixed.

    Global currencies ended lower. Dollar index climbed up by 0.3%. Pound slid after UK's inflation eased and is expected to challenge BoE's hawkish stance.

The 4-week moving average also saw a dip of 9.2k. On the other hand, after registering a dip in new home sales, existing home sales data also showed a decline in Jun’23 (-3.3% MoM), following 0.2% increase in May’23. In Japan also, some signs of slowdown are visible with export growth in Jun’23 rebounding less (+1.5% YoY) than estimated (+2.6%), compared with last month (+0.6%). Further, data shows that CPI again rose in Jun’23 (3.3%) from 3.2% in May’23. Core CPI (ex-fresh food) also advanced. While no immediate change in BoJ policy (due next week) is expected, but it might push the central bank to begin tightening eventually.


    Global indices ended mixed. Dow Jones continued its upward momentum, however S&P500 took a breather and ended lower led by disappointing results from tech firms. Cooler than anticipated inflation data in UK, pushed FTSE higher. Sensex advanced further led by gains in banking and oil & gas stocks. However, it is trading lower today in line with other Asian stocks.
