Asian Shares Decline as Bonds Extend Selloff: Markets Wrap
SHARE

Asian equities and bonds have experienced a second consecutive day of decline as traders reassess their expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts for the remainder of the year. The MSCI AC Asia Pacific Index dropped by up to 1.1%, with Australian and Japanese benchmarks falling while Chinese markets saw an increase. This comes after US equities retreated from overbought levels following a sustained rally to record highs.

The 10-year Treasury yields surged by 11 basis points to 4.20% on Monday after Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City President Jeffrey Schmid suggested a slower pace of interest rate cuts due to uncertainty surrounding the optimal level for rate reductions. Bonds from Australia and New Zealand also experienced declines.

Kieran Calder, head of equity research at Union Bancaire Privee in Singapore, noted that a slower rate-cut pace could be beneficial for the dollar but may pose challenges for Asia equities. Several factors, including supply concerns and positive US economic data, are contributing to the bond sell-off, according to Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone Group Ltd. Additionally, US election speculation is influencing the market, with traders anticipating a possible ‘Red Sweep’ scenario if Republicans secure the White House and Congress.

The possibility of Federal Reserve officials maintaining interest rates in November is increasing as the US economy continues to show strength, as highlighted by Torsten Slok, chief economist at Apollo Global Management. Asian stock markets are gearing up for a busy week of listings, with Hyundai Motor India Ltd. set to begin trading in Mumbai following a successful $3.3 billion initial public offering.

In Japan, the upcoming $2.3 billion listing of Tokyo Metro Co. has garnered significant interest from foreign investors, indicating strong demand. Meanwhile, traders are closely monitoring Beijing’s stimulus efforts aimed at boosting the Chinese economy. Chinese banks recently reduced their benchmark lending rates following the central bank’s easing measures in September.

The currency market remains volatile, with the yen weakening against the dollar and reaching 151 per dollar. On Wall Street, a substantial portion of the S&P 500 companies are scheduled to report earnings this week, with a focus on key results from companies like Tesla Inc., Boeing Co., and United Parcel Service Inc.

Gold prices stabilized after hitting a record high, while oil prices saw a moderate decline after rising amid tensions in the Middle East. Looking ahead, important events this week include speeches by ECB and BOE officials, Canada’s rate decision, US economic data releases, and earnings reports from major companies like Boeing, Tesla, and Deutsche Bank.

Overall, market movements indicate a cautious approach as traders navigate through economic uncertainties and geopolitical developments. The interconnected nature of global markets underscores the importance of staying informed and adaptable in the current financial landscape.
