Bloomberg Daybreak: Asia Edition

The dollar was steady in early Asian trading as US-China trade talks entered a second day, with investors focused on this week's Federal Reserve policy decision. The key question for investors this week is whether Fed officials will push back against market bets on a series of interest-rate cuts extending into next year. A quarter-point reduction is seen as a sure thing when the Fed announces its policy decision Wednesday, with a small potential for a half-point move amid signs US job growth is slowing rapidly. We break down the forces driving Fed policy with Adam Coons, Chief Investment Officer at Winthrop Capital Management.

The greenback was mixed against major currencies and US equity-index futures were little changed after the benchmark S&P 500 closed flat on Friday. Asian contracts signaled declines at the open, while Japan's markets are closed for a holiday. In addition to the Fed's decision on Wednesday, the Banks of Canada, England, and Japan are also set to announce policy decisions this week. We get more perspective on the week's monetary policy decisions from Louise Loo, Lead Economist at Oxford Economics. She speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Annabelle Droulers on The Asia Trade.

Daybreak Weekend: Fed Decision, Trump UK Visit, BOJ Policy

A relatively tame US inflation reading combined with more signs of jobs cooling spurred a rally on Wall Street amid speculation the Federal Reserve will slash interest rates for the first time this year. The highly anticipated consumer price index showed that while inflation is still above the Fed's 2% target, it's not spinning out of control. Alongside that report came the usually noisy jobless-claims figures, which jumped to the highest in almost four years, emboldening bets policymakers will cut rates next week in an effort to counter a rapid slowdown in the labor market. We get the market views of Jim Craige, Co-Chief Investment Officer & Head of Emerging Markets at Stone Harbor Investment Partners.

Plus - MSCI's gauge of Asian shares rose for a seventh day and neared a fresh record, after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indexes both climbed to fresh closing highs in New York. A gauge of global stocks also hit a new record. Contracts for US equities were little changed Friday. We get more perspective from Jun Bei Liu, Co-Founder and Lead Portfolio Manager at Ten Cap. She speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong on The Asia Trade.

Global Equity Rally Continues After US CPI Print

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.
