Daybreak Weekend: US Housing, German Elections & President Xi's US Visit

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
 
Asian stocks and bonds edged up as a pullback in oil prices eased inflation concerns. MSCI's regional equities gauge advanced 0.5%, with South Korea's Kospi index leading gains. Chipmakers Samsung Electronics Co. and SK Hynix Inc. climbed after a key US semiconductor gauge rallied. Adding to the positive tone, Brent crude declined for a third day, falling 1.2% to $103.56 a barrel as supply concerns eased and traders turned their attention to the next round of diplomacy over the US-Iran war.

Stocks Rise as Oil Declines

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
 
The yen's sharp drop after the Federal Reserve's hawkish hike is raising the stakes for the Bank of Japan's policy meeting Friday, with strategists warning the currency could weaken further unless officials convince markets that more tightening is coming. The Fed lifted borrowing costs Wednesday for the first time since 2023 and projected further increases, prompting traders to price three additional hikes by the middle of next year. That threatens to keep the US-Japan rate gap wide even as the BOJ is expected to raise its own policy rate this week. We speak to Bloomberg's FX and Rates Strategist David Finnerty.
 
And for more reaction to the Fed's decision, Bloomberg's David Ingles spoke to Former St. Louis Fed President James Bullard from the sidelines of the BNP Paribas APAC Global Markets Conference.

Fed Raises Rates, BOJ Hike Anticipated

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
 
The Federal Reserve is expected to lift interest rates on Wednesday for the first time since 2023 as policymakers lose confidence that inflation will cool sufficiently without at least a nudge from the central bank. Meantime, bond traders have piled into bearish positions ahead of Wednesday's Federal Reserve meeting, betting that the Treasury selloff driving yields to their highest in almost two decades will continue. The benchmark US 10-year yield rose to its highest level since 2007 on Tuesday as traders braced for the Fed to hike interest rates in response to inflation worries. We speak to Lianting Tu, Bloomberg's Managing Editor for Asia Equities.
 
And for more on the market outlook ahead of the Fed's Decision, Bloomberg's David Ingles and Yvonne Man spoke to BNP Paribas Global Head of Markets 360 and Chief Economist Luigi Speranza.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
 
Investors are also assessing the outlook for technology shares after global equities retreated Monday following calls from leading AI developers for a slower pace of advances in the field. MSCI's Asia Pacific equities gauge slipped 0.1% on Tuesday after the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index tumbled 5.9% — its biggest drop in more than two months. We speak to Sunny Bangia, he covers Asia Equities for Bloomberg News.
 
And for more on the debate on AI safety and regulation, Bloomberg's Haidi Stroud-Watts spoke to University of New South Wales Scientia Professor of AI Toby Walsh.

Investors Weigh AI Slowdown Concerns

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
 
Central banks from much of the Group of Seven face a pivotal week as mounting inflation risks heap pressure on them to raise interest rates. The US will be most closely watched in the wake of a higher-than-expected core inflation reading, which stoked investor bets that Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh and his colleagues will raise their benchmark rate. Meantime, the Reserve Bank of Australia is set to have their rate decision later in the month. We speak to James McIntyre, Bloomberg Economist for Australia and New Zealand.
 
Plus - Asian stocks and US equity-index futures retreated after major artificial intelligence companies called for a slowdown in the technology's development, raising concerns about a sector that has powered this year's rally. Oil rose. Bloomberg's Haidi Stroud-Watts spoke to Vasu Menon, Managing Director, Investment Strategy, OCBC.

Daybreak Weekend: Fed Decision, Sweden Election, BOJ Meeting

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
 
Asian stocks dropped, tracking losses on Wall Street, as surging oil prices stoked concern that inflation will accelerate. Brent crude held above $101 a barrel. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index slipped 1.3%, with benchmark gauges in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Australia all declining. The S&P 500 Index slid 0.5% on Wednesday, while the Nasdaq 100 Index dropped 0.3%, weighed down by losses in Nvidia Corp., Amazon.com Inc. and Alphabet Inc. Brent climbed as high as $101.94 before paring its gains, as Iran vowed it was prepared for a more intense war after hostilities flared across the Middle East. At the same time, the Treasury 10-year yield held near Wednesday's high of 4.85%, a level last seen in late 2023, after the US government's plan to buy up to $6 billion of longer-dated debt disappointed investors who had expected a larger increase. We speak to Lianting Tu, Bloomberg's Managing Editor for Asia Equities.

Asian Stocks Fall as Oil Adds to Inflation Fears

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
 
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent challenged traders to counter his efforts to strengthen Japan's currency, saying when he makes market calls these days he's effectively doing so with inside information. Bessent, a former hedge fund executive, was reviewing occasions when he's intervened in markets, including the joint purchases of yen he mounted with Japan's government on July 31. While the yen initially jumped, gains ebbed in subsequent sessions, in part as traders highlighted the Treasury's limited firepower to deploy in foreign-exchange purchases. We spoke to Bloomberg MLIV Strategist Mark Cranfield.
 
And - One of the largest institutions in South Korea, KB Financial Group, will be holding its KBFG Korea Conference. Bloomberg's Stephen Engle spoke to Gavekal CEO Louis-Vincent Gave.

Bessent Dares Traders to Bet Against Yen

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
 
The yen extended Monday's rally to reach the strongest level since February, aided by rising expectations of a Bank of Japan interest-rate increase next week. Gains in South Korean chip stocks helped support Asian equities. Japan's currency rose as much as 0.8% to 153.16 per dollar after appreciating 1.2% on Monday. The latest advance suggests the currency's rally set in motion by the intervention push from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama may be taking on a life of its own. We speak to Bloomberg's MLIV Strategist David Savage.
 
And - Sapporo Breweries is shifting some production to the US from Canada due to 50% tariffs imposed on beer exports from the country, Chief Strategy Officer Rieko Shofu said. In an EXCLUSIVE conversation with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn, Shofu discussed how the No. 1 Asian beer brand in the US is impacted by tariffs, as well as the Iran war.
