    Inflation in US as measured by Fed’s preferred gauge, PCE price index softened to 3% in Jun’23 (3.8% in May’23), its slowest pace in ~2 years. Core PCE index (ex. food and energy) rose by 4.1% in Jun’23 versus 4.6% in May’23. The data has raised the possibility that the Fed’s rate hike cycle may have reached its end. In Europe, while GDP growth in Germany stagnated in Q2CY23, growth in France and Spain showed resilience. Industrial output in Japan rebounded to 2% in Jun’23 versus -2.2% in May’23 (MoM). China’s official manufacturing PMI edged up to 49.3 in Jul23 from 49 in Jun’23, but remained in contraction. Non-manufacturing PMI dipped to 51.5 from 53.2, led by a steep fall in construction activities. In India, the South-West monsoon has progressed well and is now 6% above LPA. Kharif sowing was lower by 0.3% compared with last year, led by pulses and jute and mesta.


    Except Japan and India (lower), global indices ended higher. Investors remained optimistic on hopes of soft landing. Minneapolis Fed President also showed confidence on inflation outlook. Even University of Michigan’s long term inflation expectation data remained well anchored. Nikkei on the other hand dropped following BoJ’s unscheduled bond buying operation. Sensex fell by 0.2%. However, it is trading higher today, in line with other Asian stocks.

    Fed’s quarterly survey noted that US banks have reported weaker loan demand and tighter credit standards in Q2CY23, reflecting pass-through of rising interest rates. Focus is expected to shift towards US ISM manufacturing data and non farm payrolls to provide further guidance on how the economy is shaping up, amidst signs of inflation cooling off. Inflation in Eurozone eased off to 5.3% in Jul’23 (5.5% in Jun’23) providing comfort to ECB and raising hope of ECB possibly skipping rate hike in the next cycle. Separately, RBA has maintained status quo, despite an expectation of 25bps rate hike. Japan’s unemployment rate dropped to 2.5% in Jun’23 (2.6% in May). All attention will now be on BoE rate decision scheduled later this week.

Amongst other indices, Nikkei (1.3%) surged the most followed by Hang Seng (0.8%). Sensex rebounded on strong global cues and amidst strong gains in power and metal stocks.

    Fitch downgraded the US rating to AA+ from AAA over concerns of fiscal deterioration expected in next 3-years and repeated debt-ceiling negotiations with last minute resolutions that has eroded confidence in fiscal management. Beyond this, US JOLTS report noted that job opening has fallen to a 2-year low, however it remains consistent with tight labour market conditions. Additionally, US manufacturing data signalled some hope of stabilizing, albeit at a slow pace (46.8 in Jun from 46 in May’23) post improvement in new orders. The spotlight will turn towards US non-farm payroll, non-manufacturing data and BoE rate decision.


    Global indices ended mixed as investors digested the news of the Fitch downgrading US long term foreign currency. Dow Jones edged up amidst mixed signals from economic data (lower job opening-still labor market remain tight and US manufacturing though in contraction- better than last month). European indices ended lower amidst weakness in global manufacturing. Sensex slipped led by subdued global cues and was dragged down by losses in real estate and cap good stocks. It is trading lower today, in line with other Asian stocks.

    Global markets reacted sharply to the news of Fitch downgrading US sovereign debt. On the other hand, analysts were of the view that the downgrade news is not expected to have any long term impact on the financial markets. US Treasury Secretary called the rating downgrade ‘entirely unwarranted’. Gold prices retreated following the news of hotter than expected US private payrolls data, signalling increased likelihood of more monetary tightening by Fed. Investors will closely track China’s private service PMI, US non-farm payroll and rate decision by BoE.


    Global indices saw a broad sell off following the rating downgrade citing the likelihood of fiscal deterioration in the next 3-years. Amongst benchmark indices Hang Seng dropped (2.5%) the most followed by Nikkei (2.3%). S&P slid by 1.4% and was dragged down by tech sector which was worst performing against other sectors. Following global cues, Sensex too ended in red. Sharp losses were seen in power, metal and capital good stocks. It is trading lower today, in line with other Asian stocks.

    Except China (flat), other global yields closed higher. 10Y yields in the US (+10bps), UK and Germany (+7bps each) rose the most. In the US, increased probability of a soft landing, Fitch downgrade, and expectation around non-farm payroll is impacting yields. India’s 10Y rose by 4bps, as oil prices increased and hover around US$ 85/bbl. However, it is trading flat today.
