    Global markets monitored US payroll data, which remained buoyant with non- farm payroll rising by 253K in Apr’23 from 165K in Mar’23 and against est.: level of 185K. Average hourly earnings on MoM basis has also picked up by 0.5% against 0.3% earlier. Even unemployment rate edged down to3.4% from 3.5% in Mar’23. This builds up the case of a prolonged pause by Fed instead of a rate cut. Elsewhere, ECB hinted that policy might be restrictive due to stubbornly high inflation. The coming week is crucial in terms of US CPI data and BoE policy decision. For India as well, CPI data is crucial which will hold the key whether 10Y yield will drop below the 7% mark or not.


    Global yields closed mixed. Investors remained cautious tracking US payroll data which showed resilience in the labour market. Thus cases build up for prolonged pause from the Fed rather than a rate cut. Even St Louis Fed President spoke of a wait and watch approach. US stocks rose the most followed by FTSE. Shanghai comp fell by 0.5%, as corporate profit remained lacklustre. Sensex also fell by 1.1%, dragged down by banking stocks. However, it is trading higher today, while Asian stocks are trading mixed.

    Fed officials reflected divergent tone about course of Fed rate. While Fed Governor Philip Jefferson hinted that economy is slowing down in an orderly fashion and comfort is there in terms of inflation; New York Fed President said that it’s too soon to say that Fed is done with rate hikes. He even hinted at additional policy firming if required. CME Fed Watch tool is pricing in 78.8% probability of pause and remaining probability of a 25bps hike. Elsewhere, ECB’s Executive Board Member hinted at more action to bring down inflation to the targeted level. BoJ Governor said that it will end its yield curve control policy and would also start shrinking its balance sheet contingent on the inflation outlook. Markets will be cautious awaiting US CPI data (est.: +0.4%, MoM; 5%, YoY) and the deadlock over US$ 31.4tn US debt limit. On domestic front, CPI (BoB est.: 4.6%) and IIP print (BoB est.: 3.5%) will be watched.


    Barring India and Japan, stock markets elsewhere ended in red. Investors remained cautious ahead of US CPI report. Developments around US debt ceiling talks also kept market sentiments on edge. Hang Seng and Shanghai Comp slid after mixed trade data from China. Nikkei gained amidst upbeat earnings results. Sensex is trading lower today, in line with its Asian peers.

  • 11 May 2023

    US CPI data on a sequential basis remained sticky rising by 0.4%, in Apr’23 from 0.1% in Mar’23 (est.: 0.4%). Even core rose by 0.4%, same as in Mar’23. However, on YoY basis, CPI came in softer than expected at 4.9% (est.: 5%), while core was in line with estimate at 5.5%. The underlying drivers of inflation (rent and service prices excluding housing and energy) also showed some comfort. Post the inflation data, there have not been much change in money market rates, so it’s expected that Fed would go for a pause. Elsewhere, in China, both CPI (0.1%, YoY, est.:0.3%) and PPI (-3.6%, YoY, est.: -3.3%), came in softer than expected. On the other hand, CPI print in Germany remained firm; two of the ECB officials also remained hawkish in their latest statement. In another development, Hong Kong’s overnight borrowing rate rose to its highest since 2007, on account of tightening liquidity conditions.


    Stocks in US ended mixed as investors assessed the mixed inflation report. While Dow Jones fell by 0.1%, S&P 500 rose 0.4% led by an upswing in tech stocks. Amongst other indices, Shanghai Comp and Hang Seng fell the most by 1.1% and 0.5% respectively. Sensex rose by 0.3% supported by real estate and oil & gas stocks. It is trading further higher today, in line with its Asian peers.

    US macro data points to a slowdown. PPI moderated both on sequential (+0.2%, est.:+0.3%) and YoY basis (2.3%, est.: 2.5%). Initial jobless claims (264k against est.: 245k) also rose to its highest since Oct’21, showing some signs of cooling. On the other hand, uncertainty looms over debt crisis and Fed official’s comments; with US Treasury Secretary urging Congress to raise the debt limit and Minneapolis Fed Chief speaking of restrictive policy to control inflation. Elsewhere, BoE raised its policy rate by 25bps, while revising both its inflation and growth projections upward. Interestingly, BoE Governor also shrugged off the possibility of recession. ECB Chief also hinted at rate hike cycle might continue in line with the evolving trajectory of inflation. On domestic front, IIP and CPI data holds the key.


    Barring Nikkei (flat), other global indices ended lower as risk sentiment soured. Fears over global growth outlook resurfaced after weak macro data from US (increase in jobless claims) and China (softer than expected CPI and PPI). Dow Jones fell the most by 0.7%, followed by a 0.3% drop in Shanghai Comp. Sensex too fell by 0.1%, as capital goods and metal stocks declined. It is trading further lower today, in line with other Asian stocks.
