Global Market – China’s economic recovery hits road block

Global Market – China’s economic recovery hits road block

This week we will discuss China’s growth momentum slows further and need further stimulus.  China’s Central bank PBOC continues its support for YUAN as currency continues to weaken.  China after following strict COVID policy since March 2020 has removed strict restriction from 8-Jan-23.

China June PMI @ 49 – reading below 50 is contraction

Speculation about potential policy support has been mounting as the recovery for the world’s second-largest economy loses traction. After a burst of activity in the first quarter, consumer spending is slowing. The housing rebound has fizzled, exports have weakened and infrastructure investment has been muted, too.

China’s PBOC Sticks with Yuan Support as Currency Losses Deepen

The central bank set its so-called fixing for the managed currency at a stronger-than-expected level on Friday, after the offshore yuan extended a seven-month low. The move came after reports that regulators have stepped up scrutiny of currency trading and cross-border capital flows, in a bid to stabilize the yuan.

China removes strong COVID restriction from January 2023

China after following zero tolerance COVID policy for more than 2 years since COVID in March 2020 has taken steps to remove restriction from January 2023 and support economy.   Travelers coming into China were required to follow COVID restriction policy and go through quarantine period before of 7 days.

Equichain Wealth Advisors: Market View & Opinion

The People’s Bank of China will likely reduce the rate on its one-year policy loans — known as the medium-term lending facility — by 5 basis points to 2.6% in the final quarter of this year, according to the median estimate in the latest quarterly survey.

China economic data continues to show worrying sign where as US Fed, ECB & BOE continues to raise rates as inflation remains key risk in developed economy.  Inflation is not a concern in China – 2nd largest economy.   Global market continues to trade near its recent high market is factoring in some kind of stimulus and any weakness in economic recovery will be blessing for market and risk-on sentiment.

Global Market – BOE hike rate by 50-bps & Powell’s testimony

Global Market – BOE hike rate by 50-bps & US Fed Chair Jerome Powell testimony

This week we will discuss, BOE surprises street by raising interest rate by 50-bps to 5.00% and US Fed chair Jerome Powell in a testimony over 2-days to US Congress indicated further rate hike by 1 or 2 before end of 2023.

BOE raises rates by 50-bps to 5.00% – highest level since 2008.

The nine-member Monetary Policy Committee voted 7-2 for an increase to 5%, the highest level in 15 years and the biggest move since February.

Markets had priced in only a 40% chance of a half-point hike, with most economists anticipating a quarter point.

US Fed chair Jerome Powell – may need one or two more rate hike in 2023

Policymakers feel “it will be appropriate to raise rates again this year, and perhaps twice,” if the economy performs about as expected, even as they’ve been hiked to an appropriately restrictive level, Powell told the Senate Banking Committee Thursday.

Fed officials held rates steady last week after 10 straight increases, giving themselves more time to evaluate how the economy is responding to recent banking stress and higher borrowing costs.  The move left the Fed’s benchmark rate steady in a range of 5% to 5.25%.

Equichain Wealth Advisors: Market View & Opinion

Barring BOE decision which hike rate by 50-bps, decision by all other major banks were in-line with market estimate.  Last week US Fed “PAUSE” on rake hike, ECB raise rates by 25-bps & BOJ maintain its negative interest rate policy and guidance on JGB remains at -0.50% to 0.50%.

We believe further rate hike could impact global economy, which could be pushed in recession for short period of time and globally central banks are prepared to take pain in near term for long term objective to keep inflation at 2%.
