Chinese Shares Slide With Focus on Policy Briefing: Markets Wrap
SHARE

Chinese stocks experienced a decline, performing lower than other Asian markets amidst growing caution ahead of an important weekend briefing that is expected to provide more information on Beijing’s fiscal stimulus plans. The CSI 300 Index saw a drop of up to 2.4%, reversing the gains made on Thursday. Meanwhile, shares in Japan and South Korea rose, while Australian equities slipped. The focus is now on the upcoming Saturday briefing where China’s finance minister is anticipated to announce additional support measures to boost the slowing economy. It is speculated that Beijing could inject as much as 2 trillion yuan ($283 billion) in fresh fiscal stimulus to stimulate growth and restore confidence.

The decrease in Chinese stocks is partly attributed to the uncertainty surrounding the potential disappointment in the Ministry of Finance briefing scheduled for Saturday. Kieran Calder, head of equity research for Asia at Union Bancaire Privee in Singapore, mentioned that there is a risk of another letdown if the briefing does not provide new details on additional stimulus measures, as the MOF does not have the authority to approve extra budget or bond quota.

US equity futures saw a slight increase after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 experienced declines on Thursday, following higher-than-expected core inflation data that heightened speculation on the Federal Reserve’s next steps. Hong Kong markets remained closed on Friday due to a holiday.

In the early Asian trading session, Treasury yields remained steady after a slight drop on Thursday. Data released on Thursday highlighted the challenges faced by the Federal Reserve, with underlying US inflation surpassing expectations in September and indicating a slowdown in efforts to reach target prices. Additionally, there was an increase in US unemployment benefit applications to the highest level in over a year.

Despite the challenging economic data, market analysts still anticipate a quarter-point rate cut by the Fed in November and possibly a similar cut in December. The swaps market pricing indicates an 80% probability of a 25 basis point cut in November, compared to a fully priced-in move before last week’s strong US jobs report.

Key Fed policymakers expressed confidence in the potential for further rate cuts, despite the CPI reading and the rise in jobless claims. Market uncertainty may be amplified by these economic indicators, but the overall outlook for solid economic growth and moderate inflation remains unchanged.

In the currency markets, the yen remained stable against the dollar, while the dollar index showed no significant movement. The South Korean won maintained its gains against the dollar after the Bank of Korea’s decision to cut its key interest rate by 25 basis points to 3.25%.

Oil prices saw a slight decline, retracing some of the gains made on Thursday as traders awaited Israel’s response to Iran’s missile attack. Investors are also preparing for the release of third-quarter earnings from major US banks such as JPMorgan Chase & Co., Wells Fargo & Co., and Bank of New York Mellon Corp.

In conclusion, the financial markets are closely monitoring the developments in China’s fiscal stimulus plans, the Federal Reserve’s rate decisions, and corporate earnings reports to gauge the global economic outlook and potential market movements.
