Market News
- S&P 500 surged 1%, hit a new record high as an almost giddy euphoria over the prospects of a U.S. interest rate cut fueled the appetite for equities, but there are plenty of pitfalls that could throw the stock market off course. Dow Jones was up 249 points and Nasdaq Composite rose 64 points.
- The 10-year Treasury yield dipped below 2% for the first time since November 2016 after Fed signalled the potential for a rate cut as soon as its next meeting in July as it said it was ready to battle risks to the economy, including the U.S.-China trade war.
- Kota Hirayama, senior emerging market economist at SMBC Nikko Securities in Tokyo, said this week’s FOMC meeting outcome is positive for the financial markets including those in Asia, but it won’t be able to sustain Asian equities indefinitely until some kind of solution can be worked out for the U.S.-China trade war at the G20, since the region is particularly vulnerable to the conflict.
Market Views
- Asian stocks struggled on Friday to track Wall Street’s exuberance about a possible U.S. rate cut next month as anxiety over Sino-U.S. trade negotiations clouded the investor mood in the region. Nikkei dropped 42 points while Hang Seng was down 47 points.
- Tensions in the Middle East continued to heat up after an Iranian missile shot down an unmanned U.S. surveillance drone on Thursday, raising fears of a military confrontation between Tehran and Washington and pushing the crude oil price higher.
