Bloomberg Daybreak: Asia Edition

Asian equities were mixed Thursday after a rally on Wall Street drove stocks and bonds higher, as a drop in producer prices supported bets the Federal Reserve will resume cutting interest rates next week. An index of the dollar was little changed while the yen strengthened against the greenback early Thursday. The Wednesday moves in the US reflected fresh optimism that the Fed will cut rates next week after producer prices unexpectedly declined for the first time in four months. The data soothed worries that elevated inflation would create a challenge for policymakers trying prevent a jobs downturn ahead of US inflation figures due later Thursday. We get the views of Eric Fine, Portfolio Manager & Head of Active EM Debt at VanEck.
 
Plus - UBS Group CEO Sergio Ermotti says the impact of global tariffs on the US economy and Federal Reserve monetary policy remains unclear. He made the comments ahead of the annual UBS Disruptive Technology CEO Summit in Hong Kong, which gets underway today. Ermotti speaks exclusively with Bloomberg's David Ingles in Bloomberg's Hong Kong bureau.

Global Inflation in Focus; UBS CEO Sergio Ermotti

Key Asian stock gauges fluctuated Wednesday after the S&P 500 hit a record on hopes the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates to curb a jobs downturn. Shares in South Korea rose in early trading, while those in Japan and Australia were mixed. US equity futures contracts edged higher after Big Tech lifted the index on Tuesday, even as most shares fell. After fresh signs of a cooling labor market, investors are bracing for inflation reports in the coming days that will help shape next week's Fed meeting and the path of rate cuts into 2025 — a key test for whether Wall Street can sustain this month's rally. Money markets are almost fully projecting three Fed cuts this year, with US producer and consumer price index data due this week. We take a closer look with Zachary Hill, Head of Portfolio Management at Horizon Investments.

Meantime, the yen was little changed early Wednesday after gaining Tuesday, following a report that Bank of Japan officials may raise interest rates again this year, regardless of domestic political instability. The timing of the BOJ report will make JGB traders a bit nervous about today's 5-year auction, which could mean a lower bid-to-cover ratio than last month's 2.96. However, after an initial knee-jerk selloff investors will likely find that secondary yields above 1% already price in a BOJ tightening. For more, we hear from Robert Tipp, Chief Investment Strategist and Head of Global Bonds at PGIM Fixed Income. He speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong on The Asia Trade.

US Jobs Outlook Cools, Yen Holds After BOJ Signal

Asian stocks climbed for a fourth day on Tuesday as Wall Street's upbeat mood ahead of expected Federal Reserve rate cuts flowed into regional trading. MSCI's Asia-Pacific equities gauge reached its highest level since February 2021 with tech firms like Taiwan Semiconductor and Alibaba Group contributing most to the gains. Shares in Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong rose, while those in Australia declined. The moves followed a surge in bets on rate cuts by the US central bank that pushed stocks near record highs on hopes that easier policy will bolster corporate America. We look at the market landscape with Carol Schleif, Chief Market Strategist at BMO Private Wealth.

In Japan, the implications of the nation's latest political turmoil have spilled into markets. The Nikkei 225 advanced to touch a new intraday record high in the morning. The country's government bonds were firmer after having slumped Monday as Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's decision to step down underscored expectations for looser fiscal policy. Bloomberg Opinion Columnist Gearoid Reidy joins with insight on the road ahead for Japan's ruling bloc.

Asian Equities Climb for Fourth Day on Fed Cut Hopes

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said he'll step down following weeks of calls for his departure in the aftermath of a second national election setback, setting in motion a leadership race that threatens to unnerve investors. Ishiba's resignation brings to an end a tenure marked by humiliating election results that stripped the Liberal Democratic Party's ruling coalition of its majorities in both chambers of parliament and left market participants unsure of Japan's fiscal plans. His departure is likely to fuel uncertainty among investors over the coming weeks until a new leader is chosen. We get reaction from Bloomberg's Sakura Murakami in Tokyo and Amy Catalinac, Associate Professor of Politics at New York University. They speak with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong on The Asia Trade.

Meantime, the yen dropped and Japanese stocks advanced after Prime Minister Ishiba announced plans to resign. The currency fell as much as 0.7% against the dollar, wiping out Friday's advance amid an increase in political uncertainty. US equity futures ticked up after the benchmark S&P 500 Index slid on Friday after a weaker-than-expected US jobs report on Friday ratcheted fears of a rapidly cooling labor market. We get the market perspectives of Candace Browning, Head of Global Research at BofA Securities.

Daybreak Weekend: U.S CPI, UK Security, China CPI

The S&P 500 added 0.8% to a new peak while the Nasdaq 100 rose 0.9% on Thursday. US futures edged higher in early Asian trading ahead of Friday's August jobs report. The Nikkei 225 index rose by more than 1% after President Donald Trump signed an executive order implementing his trade agreement with Japan. We get the latest from Balazs Penz, Bloomberg News Desk Editor in Hong Kong. He speaks with Bloomberg's Avril Hong and Paul Allen on The Asia Trade.

The policy-sensitive US two-year yield fell three basis points to the lowest in around a year Thursday. Money markets almost fully priced in a Fed reduction this month and see at least two by year-end. The action reflected the latest readings on hiring and unemployment claims before Friday's jobs data, which is expected to extend the weakest stretch of US job growth since the pandemic. Slowing demand, rising costs and President Donald Trump's unpredictable trade policies have cooled hiring, adding pressure on the Fed to shore up the labor market. We get market perspective from David Chao, Global Market Strategist, Asia Pacific at Invesco.

S&P 500 Hits Record Ahead of US Jobs Data, Trump Finalizes Japan Deal

Asian equities climbed with Wall Street after weak US job openings data reinforced bets on a Federal Reserve interest-rate cut. Shares in Japan, Australia and South Korea gained at the open. Equity-index futures for the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 edged higher after both gauges advanced. Australian bonds tracked Wednesday's moves in Treasuries, with yields on the 10-year declining almost five basis points to 4.37%. We get reaction from Audrey Goh, Head of Asset Allocation at Standard Chartered Wealth Management Group. She speaks with Bloomberg's Paul Allen and Avril Hong on The Asia Trade.

Plus - Goldman Sachs strategists are raising their 12-month forecast for Asian stocks, citing tariff clarity and expectations for Federal Reserve easing in September. For more, we hear from Timothy Moe, Chief APAC Regional Equity Strategist. He speaks with Bloomberg's Avril Hong from the inaugural Goldman Sachs Asia Leaders Conference in Hong Kong.

Weak US Jobs Data Fuels Fed Cut Bets

A major military parade is underway in Beijing, where Chinese President Xi Jinping is joined by Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korea's Kim Jong Un. The rare gathering of America's top rivals marks 80 years since Japan's WWII defeat and features a showcase of hypersonic missiles, combat drones, and nuclear-capable systems. The event is a centerpiece of Xi's broader push to rally nationalist sentiment and signal China's rising global clout amid tensions with Washington. Bloomberg's Stephen Engle is tracking the parade from Tiananmen Square. He spoke with Bloomberg's Avril Hong and Paul Allen on The Asia Trade.

Plus - Goldman Sachs is hosting its first-ever Asia Leaders Conference in Hong Kong. The event is billed as bringing together though leaders and senior executives from the most important companies in the Asia-Pacific. It was there that we heard from Robert Kaplan, Goldman's Vice Chairman and former President of the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank. He weighed in on monetary policy and the search for the next Fed chair in an exclusive conversation with Bloomberg's Avril Hong.

China's Xi Hosts Putin, Kim for Beijing Military Parade; Goldman's Kaplan on Fed

Equity-index futures for Japan pointed to a modest gain after chip stocks pushed the Nikkei-225 index lower Monday. Contracts also indicated modest moves for Hong Kong and Australia. US equity-index futures edged lower with cash markets closed Monday for Labor Day. Investors will also be watching Japan's 10-year government bond auction Tuesday, which will be a key test of appetite amid growing expectations of rate hikes by the Bank of Japan and mounting political uncertainty. Stateside, Wall Street's record-breaking stock rally now faces a pivotal test, with jobs numbers, inflation data and the Federal Reserve's rate call all landing within the next three weeks. Tariff tensions and questions over the Fed's independence were also compounding the risks in September, historically the weakest month of the year for US markets. We look at the current market landscape with Michael Hartnett, Chief Investment Strategist at BofA Global Research. He speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong on The Asia Trade.

Plus - Chinese President Xi Jinping secured an agreement from partner countries to set up a new development bank, realizing a longtime ambition in a display of Beijing's growing influence. Members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization agreed to establish the institution, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Monday at the end of the two-day SCO summit that gathered Xi's closest international allies in the Chinese port city of Tianjin. In a joint declaration, member countries including India and Russia expressed opposition to unilateral coercive measures and vowed to facilitate trade within the group. We get reaction from Henry Huiyao Wang, Founder and President of the Center for China and Globalization.

Tianjin, Tariffs, and Tech Stocks in Focus

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi held their first meeting since Donald Trump returned to power, with the longstanding Asian rivals pledging deeper cooperation as they deal with the economic fallout from the US trade war. Modi announced the resumption of direct flights between the two countries, and said ties in the past year have stabilized after soldiers pulled back from the friction points on the border. The two met at the port city of Tianjin on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit, a security-focused bloc co-founded by China. Bloomberg's Stephen Engle reports from Tianjin.

Meantime, Indonesia President Prabowo Subianto moved to quell widespread protests across the country with parliament removing hefty lawmaker allowances that had sparked public outrage, while warning that firm action will be taken against violent demonstrators. For more, we hear from Faris Mokhtar, Bloomberg's Southeast Asia Global Business Reporter. He speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong on The Asia Trade.

Asian investors may tread cautiously on Monday amid uncertainty following a US federal appeals court ruling that President Donald Trump's sweeping trade tariffs were illegal. Contracts for the S&P 500 rose 0.2% and those for the Nasdaq 100 index advanced 0.3% in early Asian trading after a selloff in technology shares Friday trimmed the gains for the month. Contracts indicated losses for Australian and Japanese shares at the open, and gains in Hong Kong. US bond futures nudged lower, with the cash market closed for the Labor Day holiday. We look at the market landscape with Ron Temple, Chief Market Strategist at Lazard.
