João Monteiro & Markets: another shared take on the Markets

 João Monteiro & Markets: another shared take on the Markets:

'' Markets right across Asia have been
in for a stormy session today with all the major regional indices finishing up
in negative territory. The big driver here is the growing concern over the
state of the Chinese economy – overnight we saw numbers highlighting the fact
that foreign direct investment into China fell way short of expectations, reaching
a four year low. This is just the latest in a volley of data points that are
giving investors cause for concern across the globe. A sharp decline in Tokyo
Condo sales also knocked the Nikkei despite that perpetually weak Yen and the
big question now is whether this will mark the start of a bigger consolidation
phase.Wall Street is currently eyeing some
modest losses at the open following that strong finish yesterday. US economic
data disappointed too but the expectation is this may help defer any rushed
rate hike from the Fed. This is all building up to the FOMC verdict tomorrow
night and as was noted yesterday although there’s no real expectation of action
here, it’s the tone of the rhetoric that will count. With US inflation data due
ahead of that FOMC statement too, there’s still scope for market opinion to
shift but various dollar baskets do appear to be struggling to make further
progress for now. Ahead of the open we’re calling the DOW down 26 at 17005 and
the S&P unchanged at 1984. ''

''It’s been a relatively quiet session for Asian equity markets with traders struggling to find much meaningful direction. After yesterday’s market holiday in Shanghai, the Hong Kong exchange has been closed today, leaving many traders playing something of a waiting game ahead of fresh data out of Beijing. We’re going to see new Yuan loan numbers out tonight followed by CPI readings later in the week and with concern building that signs of a slowdown may be imminent, anything that serves to exacerbate these fears could result in a bout of selling. The Nikkei is edging higher once again but much of this appears to be driven by ongoing dollar strength – USD/JPY came close to 106.40 overnight.  

Major indices on Wall Street are currently forecast to start the day little changed and again there’s not much in the way of fresh economic data that has the potential to deliver any meaningful direction here. The geopolitical situation seems eerily calm and the point many seem to be focusing on is the launch of the latest iPhone, so ahead of the open we’re calling the DOW down 4 at 17107 and the S&P down 1 at 2001.
