  • 19 June 2023

    Global Central Bank continued to remain divergent with Bank of Japan sticking to its ultra-easy monetary policy. They have signalled the possibility to ‘patiently’ continue with the same policy with focus on economic recovery. Any rate hikes have currently been ruled out even as inflation climbs up. This comes in the wake of ECB hiking rates to a 22-year high and hinted of more tightening in order to counter elevated inflation. On the other hand, US Fed kept policy rates on hold during the week, breaking away from the streak of 10 consecutive rate hike. All eyes will now be on BoE with higher expectation of rate hikes and ahead of CPI data release.


    Except US, global indices ended higher. US stocks fell amidst comments from Fed officials such as Christopher Waller and Thomas Barkin, who spoke of stubbornly high core inflation. Thus signalling that rate hike cycle might continue. Amongst other indices, Asian stocks rose the most, as BoJ signalled more stimulus might be forthcoming. In India, Sensex rose by 0.7% led by banking and capital goods stocks. However, it is trading higher today, while Asian stocks are trading lower, eyeing US Secretary of State’s visit in China.

    Following 10bps cut in 1Y Medium-term Lending Facility (MLF) by PBOC last week, now 1Y and 5Y Loan Prime Rate (LPR) have also been reduced by 10bps (est.: 15bps cut). These decisions have been taken to spur weakening economic momentum and statements by policymakers reflect that more stimulus measures may be announced soon. Markets are expecting RRR cut to boost credit growth. On the other hand in Australia, RBA’s minutes show that policymakers are concerned about stubborn core inflation and rising pressure in wage and housing inflation. This week, BoE’ rate decision and Fed Chair Powell’s testimony will shed more light on future trajectory of rates.


    Global indices, except US (closed), were off to a slow start, with Nikkei and FTSE falling the most. In UK, chemicals and constructions stocks dragged the index down. Investors await Fed Chair testimony and rate decision by BoE this week. In India, Sensex fell by 0.3% led by power, realty and banking stocks. It is trading further lower today, while Asian stocks are trading mixed.

    Except Japan (lower), other global yields inched up. 10Y yield in UK (+8bps) and Germany (+4bps) rose the most as central banks in Europe continue to remain hawkish. BoE is expected to hike rates this month and 1-2 more rate hikes are pegged for this year. Fed Chair Powell’s testimony is also awaited to gauge Fed’s rate trajectory. Following global cues and increase in oil prices, India’s 10Y yield was up by 2bps to 7.06%. It is trading broadly stable today.

  • 21 June 2023

    US housing starts jumped sharply in May’23 to 1.63mn units (+21.7% MoM) from 1.34mn units in Apr’23. This 291k increase was the highest since Jan’90, and suggests that most buyers took advantage of dip in 30Y-fixed mortgaged rate (6.77% versus peak of 7% in Nov’22). Investors now await for more cues from Fed Chair’s testimony today, as there is increased probability of Fed keeping the rates elevated for long to cool the economy and inflation down. Further adding to the risks of global growth, forecasts by China’s National Petroleum’s research arm suggests that demand from China will remain muted. PBOC’s recent measures to spur growth are also considered to be minimal and more fiscal stimulus is expected.


    Barring markets in Asia (higher), other global indices fell, as last week’s market rally took a breather. Fed’s potential to remain aggressive on rates and probability of growth slow down hampered investor sentiments in the US and Europe. In India, Sensex was up by 0.3% led by power, auto and tech stocks. It is trading further higher today, while Asian stocks are trading lower.

  • 22 June 2023

    The much awaited Fed Chair Powell’s testimony was in line with markets’ expectations. Powell reiterated Fed’s hawkish stance and the need for 2 more rate hikes until the end of CY23, in order to bring inflation within the target on a durable basis. For this, the Chair admitted that economic activity will have to be pushed to below trend growth. Labour market still remains tight while showing some signs of loosening. However, market analysts continue to price in less than 2 rate hikes as US economy is expected to cool down in H2CY23, and as a result, DXY fell and US 10Y yield remained unchanged. In UK, on the other hand, inflation is not showing signs of ebbing, which is expected to put further pressure on BoE to hike rates.


    Barring markets in Japan and India (higher), other global indices closed lower, led by decline in Shanghai Comp and Hang Seng. Markets in US too fell as Fed Chair reiterated that more rate hikes are forthcoming in order to push growth below trend rates. In India, Sensex rose by 0.3%, led by power and oil & gas stocks. However, it is trading lower today, while Asian stocks are trading higher.

    BoE surprised the markets with a higher (+50bps) than anticipated (+25bps) rate hike in its Jun’23 policy meeting, stating “persistence in inflation process, tight labour market and resilience in demand” as the rationale. Central Bank of Switzerland also raised rates by 25bps and commented that its policy is still not “tight enough”. These banks join Fed’s hawkish stance. Domestically also, RBI’s minutes show that the central bank is worried about the impact of monsoon on inflation. In US, labour market is showing slight signs of cooling down as 4-week moving average of initial jobless claims (week ending 17 Jun) rose to 256k (highest since Nov’21) from 247k last week). Existing home sales however continue to increase (+0.2% MoM).


    Barring markets in Japan and India (higher), other global indices closed lower, led by decline in Shanghai Comp and Hang Seng. Markets in US too fell as Fed Chair reiterated that more rate hikes are forthcoming in order to push growth below trend rates. In India, Sensex rose by 0.3%, led by power and oil & gas stocks. However, it is trading lower today, while Asian stocks are trading higher.
