Early Morning Call: focus on central banks; watching GBP, USD

EUR/USD holds above parity having hit 1-1 yesterday - watching US CPI today as a possible trading opportunity. NZD/USD little moved as RBNZ raises 50bps; USD/KRW down as BoK raises 50bps; awaiting BoC today.

Indices outlook

Equity markets in the Asia-Pacific region rose overnight, despite a fall in US indices on Tuesday.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) says avoiding recession in the US will be "increasingly challenging" as it cut its 2022 US growth forecast for the second time in a month, this time from 2.9% in late June to 2.3%, as recent data showed weakening consumer spending.

Central banks in focus

Two central banks raised interest rates in the last few hours. As expected the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) hiked by 50 basis points (bps) to 2.50%. In its statement the bank said its "Committee agreed it remains appropriate to continue to tighten monetary conditions at pace to maintain price stability and support maximum sustainable employment."

The Bank of Korea also raised key interest rate to 2.25% from 1.75%. Its governor said a gradual 25bps hike was "desirable" for some time.

This afternoon, it will be the turn of the Bank of Canada (BoC) to decide on rates. Economists see an increase of 75 basis points, which would take the bank's overnight rate to 2.25%.

The BoC began its hiking process a bit later than other central banks but ranks as one of the highest rates in the world's main economies. Up to January this year, the BoC's rate was at 0.25%. A 75bps hike today would mean that 200bps had been added in the past six months.

Economic news

In the UK, monthly GDP unexpectedly rose by 0.5% in May compared to April. Economists expected it to be flat. Industrial production was better than expected, showing an increase of 1.4% in May year-on-year (YoY), against expectations of a 0.3% fall.

US consumer price index (CPI) is due out later today an nmay show an increase in inflation for June. Analysts expect headline inflation to increase to 8.8% year-over-year. That would be a 0.2 percentage point y/y increase from May, taking it to the highest pace since December 1981.

Core inflation, a measure that removes food and energy prices, is seen easing to 5.7% y/y from 6.0%.

Equities

On the corporate front, JD WetherspoonJD Wetherspoon has signaled higher-than-expected losses for the current financial year as labour and fuel costs continue to weigh on its bottom line.

The group, which had said in May its profit would break even this year, now expects to report an annual loss of £30 million.

PageGroup reports a 25.5% rise in second quarter (Q2) gross profit, supported by strong hiring demand from companies amid staff shortages and higher resignations. Quarterly gross profit reached £280.9 million, compared with £219.8 million reported a year earlier.

 Jeremy Naylor | Writer, London | Publication date: Thursday 14 July 2022 

Indices outlook

It was a mixed session in Asia-Pacific, with the Japan 225 outperforming the region, helped by yen weakness.

In Australia the ASX 200 benefited from the latest job data. The unemployment rate fell to a record low of 3.5% in June, from 3.9% in May, and significantly beat market forecasts of 3.8%.

Singapore's GDP grew 4.8% in the second quarter, missing forecasts. Singapore's central bank also said gross domestic product (GDP) growth is expected to come in at the lower half of the 3-5% forecast range for 2022, while core inflation is now expected to rise further than previously anticipated.

In an off-cycle move, the bank decided to tighten its monetary policy for the second time this year, saying the action would slow inflation as the city-state joins other economies scrambling to fight mounting price pressures. Singapore’s central bank wasn’t the only one to hike. The Philippine central bank raised its interest rates by 75 basis points (bps).

And yesterday, the Bank of Canada (BoC) surprised the markets with a full percentage point hike, taking the main rate up to 2.5%.

Yesterday, US consumer price index (CPI) data beat forecasts, accelerating its pace to 9.1% year-on-year. Economists had expected an 8.8% increase.

US swaps markets are now showing that there's a one in two chance that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will take rates up by a full percentage point when it meets next.

Equity markets

Equity markets are gaining attention.

In the UK, Hays posted a record 23% jump in its fourth quarter net fees and expects its full-year operating profit to come in at about £210 million, the top end of its previous guidance.

Barratt Developments forecasts annual profit to be in the range of £1.05 billion to £1.06 billion, marginally ahead of company-compiled analysts' estimates.

Over in the US, investors await JPMorgan Chase & Co (All Sessions) and Morgan Stanley quarterly reports before the market open. They’ll be followed by Citigroup Inc (All Sessions) and Wells Fargo & Co (All Sessions) on Friday, and Bank of America Corp (All Sessions) and Goldman Sachs Group Inc (All Sessions) on Monday.

In Europe, equity markets showed small gains at the start of today’s session. Yesterday, the European Commission adjusted its GDP and inflation forecast, saying the rebound from the pandemic will be weaker than anticipated while inflation will be faster because of Russia's war in Ukraine.

The Euro area gross domestic product is likely to grow 2.6% this year, down from 2.7% and 1.4% in 2023, down from predictions of 2.3%. Inflation forecasts have gone up for this year from 6.1 to 7.6% and in 2023 up from 2.7 to 4% next year.

Forex

In this context of soaring inflation and weakening growth, the US dollar continues to strengthen.

EUR/USD trade broke parity following the stronger-than-expected US CPI data yesterday. USD/JPY set a fresh 24-year high, climbing above ¥138.

Commodities

Oil prices are little changed. Yesterday, EIA inventory data confirmed the rise in crude, gasoline and distillate stocks announced by the API on Tuesday.

Early Morning Call: copper hits new lows; USD maintains strength

Copper makes it biggest weekly loss post-Covid on poor China economic data and Rio Tinto warning. USD maintains strength – DXY above 109 for the first time in almost two decades. US banking sector set for more bad news?

 

 Jeremy Naylor | Writer, London | Publication date: Friday 15 July 2022

Indices outlook

Indices' performance was mixed in the Asia-Pacific region.

The Nikkei outperformed the region, rising for a send day, as the yen continued to weaken against the dollar.

Australia’s ASX 200 fell, affected by China’s gross domestic product (GDP) and factory output data, and Rio Tinto's profit warning.

China's economy contracted sharply in the second quarter (Q2). Gross domestic product fell 2.6% in Q2 from Q1. Economists had expected a 1.5% decline. This translated to 0.4% growth on a year-on-year (YoY) basis, missing forecasts of a 1.0% gain, and a sharp slowdown from the 4.8% recorded in the first quarter.

China industrial output also missed expectations. It grew 3.9% in June from a year earlier, below the 4.1% increase forecast. Retail sales recorded their quickest growth in four months, rising 3.1% from a year ago in June. Markets expected the index to remain flat.

Commodities

China data also impacted the commodities sector.

Copper set a fresh eight-month low and is on track to record its biggest weekly loss since March 2020.

Rio Tinto also weighed on the ASX 200. The miner warned that Covid-19-related labour shortages in Western Australia and rising inflation will impact its underlying earnings in the second half. The company's iron ore shipments rose 4.7% to 79.9 million tonnes (Mt) in the second quarter, narrowly missing estimates, but maintained its guidance for the full year.

US overview

Over in the US, markets await retail sales and industrial production data. Yesterday, the dollar reached new highs after the release in producer prices for June. The index rose by 11.3% YoY, beating economists’ forecast of 10.7%. The US Dollar Basket reached new highs on the news. It has partly retraced yesterday’s rally but remains above 108.

EUR/USD had another brief dip below parity, and gold went as low at $1,698.

Equities

Fevertree announced this morning that it had lowered its annual profit forecast, as the tonic-maker signaled a hit from cost pressures and logistical issues. The company now expects full-year operating profit to be in the range of 37.5 million pounds to £45 million, down from its earlier forecast of between £63 million and £66 million.

Burberry also released a trading statement. Its comparable store sales were up 1% in Q1, affected by China lockdowns. Excluding China, comparable sales rose 16%.

Citigroup Inc (All Sessions) and Wells Fargo & Co (All Sessions) are scheduled to report their quarterly earnings before the opening bell. Yesterday, both JPMorgan Chase & Co (All Sessions) and Morgan Stanley reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue, the former setting aside over $1 billion to cover future credit losses.

Those dreadful results from JPMorgan were accompanied by the CEO, Jamie Dimon, telling the markets that the Federal Reserve's stress tests were crippling the sector and it was that regulatory process that forced his bank to suspend its stock buybacks. He said that the stress tests were "inconsistent, not transparent and too volatile".

Early Morning Call: watching euro, yen; US earnings gather pace

Forex traders await an array of central bank announcements. Europe expected up as global markets rise for a second day. US earnings gather pace with reports from IBM, BAC and GS today.

 

 Jeremy Naylor | Writer, London | Publication date: Monday 18 July 2022 

Equities outlook

The US session was positive on Friday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 2.15%, led by financial stocks.

JPMorgan Chase & Co (All Sessions), Goldman Sachs Group Inc (All Sessions) and American Express Co (All Sessions) clinched the best performances among the index constituents. Today marks the conclusion of the main US banks quarterly reports. While JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo & Co (All Sessions) disappointed investors with earnings and revenue below expectations, Citigroup Inc (All Sessions) surprised the market in a positive manner, sending its share price 6% higher during last Friday's session.

Today we are expecting reports from Bank of America Corp (All Sessions) and Goldman Sach. Analysts anticipate the Bank of America will produce earnings of 78 cents per share, a decrease of 2.8% compared to the same quarter a year ago. Revenues are expected to rise by 5.6% to $22.82 billion. Bank of America shares have tumbled year-to-date, losing more than 30%.

Goldman Sachs is forecast to report earnings of $6.77 on revenue of $10.84bn. Last year was a strong year for Goldman Sachs, as it benefitted fully from upbeat underwriting and M&A activity. This year is very different though. In the first quarter (Q1), the bank saw a decline of 36% of its investment banking unit, and many analysts expect second quarter (Q2) performance along those lines.

Tonight, after the US closing bell, IBM Corp (All Sessions) will be the first of the big tech firms to produce quarterly earnings. Analysts expect earnings per share (EPS) of $2.27, on revenue of just over $15bn.

The US earnings season will be gathering pace this week, with reports expected from Johnson & Johnson (All Sessions), Netflix Inc (All Sessions), Tesla Inc, American Airlines Group Inc and American Express Co (All Sessions) to name just a few.

Macro outlook

There are very few macroeconomic indicators expected today.

In New Zealand, consumer price index (CPI) increased by 7.3% in the second quarter, its fastest pace in 32 years. Most economists expect the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) to raise rates by another 50 basis points (bps) next month, but this latest data raises the possibility of a supersized hike.

Several central bank announcements are scheduled throughout the week. On Tuesday, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) will release the minutes of its July meeting, when it announced a 50 basis-point hike for its cash rate to 1.35%.

China Loan Prime Rates are due on Wednesday. Markets don't see any change to the one-year and five-year rates, as the country continues to reopen after some easing of coronavirus restrictions.

Then on Thursday, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) is expected to remain on its very own path of ultra-accommodating policy.

And, last but not least, the Eurpean Central Bank (ECB) is expected to kick off with a 25 basis-point rate hike. This will be its first rate increase in more than a decade.

Commodities

Oil prices remain near three-month lows as the rising number of Covid cases in China feed concerns about global demand.

Last Friday, Baker Hughes total rig count rose by four to 756. The number of oil rigs in operation rose by two to 599, the number of working gas rigs also rose by two to 157.

 Jeremy Naylor | Writer, London | Publication date: Tuesday 19 July 2022 

Equities outlook

It was a mixed session for equity markets in the Asia-Pacific region, following a fall of the three main US indices yesterday.

Japan’s Nikkei closed higher, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng posted the worst performance.

In Australia, minutes of the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) July policy meeting revealed that there was a need for more tightening, and even with recent hikes, interest rates were still too low to constrain inflation expectations amid a strong labour market. The central bank raised rates by 50-basis points (bps) at its last meeting, to 1.35%.

In the UK, the unemployment rate remained at 3.8% in May. Economists were expecting an increase to 3.9%. April's employment change came in much higher than expected: 296,000, versus expectations of 170,000.

BHP Group PLC (LSE)'s iron ore output missed expectations in the three months to June 30. Iron ore production reached 71.7 million tonnes, falling short of a consensus estimate of 76 million, and the 72.8 million it reported a year ago.

Like Rio Tinto PLC last week, BHP warned that inflationary pressures, supply chain and labour market issues will continue through fiscal year 2023, but added that China is expected to contribute positively to growth.

In the US, IBM Corp (All Sessions) posted earnings of $2.31 per share, four cents better than analysts' expectations. Revenue came in at $15.54 billion. The group reiterated its full-year forecast but warned the market that both currency headwinds and impact from exiting Russia operations have put pressure on IBM's near-term results. The impact of a strong dollar on its sales could be to the tune of $3.5bn.

Today, the market is waiting for reports from Johnson & Johnson (All Sessions) before the opening bell. Earnings per share are forecast to fall by around 4% year-on-year (YoY) to $2.55. Revenue is expected to rise by 2.4% YoY to $23.80bn.

Other companies also reporting before the bell are Halliburton Co, Manpowergroup Inc and Hasbro Inc.

Tonight, it will be Netflix Inc (All Sessions)'s turn to post its quarterly report. For the second quarter (Q2), analysts anticipate earnings of $2.96 per share on revenue of $8.03bn.

Last quarter, the group suffered a loss in subscribers for the first time in over a decade. Subscriptions were down by 200 000, leading Netflix to miss out on revenue. Analysts expect another loss in subscribers in Q2 by as much as two million.

Commodities

On the commodity market, oil prices have settled overnight, after a sharp rise in yesterday’s session due to the fall of the dollar.

Industrial metals reacted similarly on Monday, but copper, zinc, aluminium and lead resumed their downward trend overnight.

Early Morning Call: equity markets down as recession fears remain

European markets are expected to open down after losses on Wall Street and APAC overnight as recession fears resurface, with tech stocks doing much of the damage.

 

 Jeremy Naylor | Writer, London | Publication date: Monday 25 July 2022

Indices outlook

APAC indices mostly fell, following the negative session recorded on Friday. And, like in the US, tech stocks led the losses. In Europe, indices started the week in negative territory, amid renewed recession fears.

Currency markets

Today, only the Germany Ifo business climate could shake the currency market. Economists forecast a fall to 90.2 in July, after 92.3 the previous month. But currency traders are already bracing for the Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate decision on Wednesday. Currency traders expect another 75-basis points (bps), after a similar decision at the bank’s previous meeting.

But what is next? According to a Bloomberg survey, the Fed’s hikes could slow down to peak at 4.75% in February next year.

Corporate news

Like last week, corporate news for the next five days will be dominated by US earnings with a focus on tech giants.

On Tuesday MicrosoftMicrosoft Corp (All Sessions) and Alphabet Inc - A (All Sessions) will publish their quarterly reports, followed by Meta Platforms Inc on Wednesday, and Amazon.com Inc (All Sessions), Apple Inc (All Sessions) and Intel Corp (All Sessions) on Thursday.

Markets will be particularly attentive to those depending on advertising. Last Friday, Snap Inc (All Sessions) stock slumped nearly 40% after signalling a slowdown in advertising revenue.

More traditional firms will also be represented this week. Markets await updates in the consumer staples sector, with reports from Coca-Cola Co (All Sessions), The Kraft Heinz Company, and Colgate-Palmolive Co.

The automotive sector will be represented by General Motors Co (All Sessions) and Ford Motor Co (All Sessions). Oil firms, Exxon Mobil Corp (All Sessions) and Chevron Corp (All Sessions) will conclude the week.

European earnings also gather pace this week. This morning Vodafone Group PLC said its first quarter (Q1) group service revenue rose by 2.5%, a performance supported by an acceleration of growth in the UK market, up by 6.5%, more than offsetting a decline of 0.5% in Germany, its biggest market.

Elsewhere in Europe, Ryanair Holdings PLC (LSE) posted its first profit for the June quarter in three years, but is still well below pre-pandemic levels. Its CEO, Michael O'Leary, warned investors the “any guidance is subject to a very rapid change from unexpected events which are well beyond our control during what remains a very strong but still fragile recovery."

Philips reported a worse-than-expected fall in second quarter (Q2) earnings. Adjusted EBITA came in at €216 million, less than half the €532m recorded in the same quarter a year ago. Philips says its Q2 performance was impacted by supply chain issues and China lockdowns. The Dutch group insists that its order book remains strong, and expects its profitability to improve in the second half of this year onwards.

This week, the UK banking sector will take centre stage, with half-year earnings expected from Lloyds Banking Group PLC on Wednesday, Barclays PLC on Thursday, and NatWest Group PLC and Standard Chartered PLC (LSE) on Friday.

Commodities

Finally, after three weeks of decline, the oil sector starts the week on the back foot. On Friday, Baker Hughes total rig count rose by two to 758, an increase solely due to the number of gas rigs in operation, up by two to 159. Oil rigs in operation remained at 599.

    • I've developed an initial version of a market sentiment checker, which utilizes the concept of weighted log returns to gauge the mood of the financial markets. This tool is designed to simplify the complex task of assessing market sentiment by analyzing fluctuations in price data. By applying weights to log returns, it emphasizes the significance of certain data points over others, offering a more nuanced view of market dynamics. This approach allows for a fundamental analysis of market sentiment and provides insights into the current state of the market at any given moment. It serves as a valuable tool for investors and traders looking to make informed decisions based on the underlying sentiment driving market movements. sentiment-sleuth - Github Link
