>>> What to look at today - 7th of May 2024

Asian stocks eked out gains on Tuesday, following Wall Street’s advance on optimism the Federal Reserve will start cutting interest rates this year. The yen dropped.  A gauge of regional equities is set for its longest run of gains since February, helped by rally in Japanese, Korean and Australian shares. While the Nikkei 225 jumped as much as 1.6% as investors in Tokyo returned to work after a holiday, markets in Hong Kong and Shanghai swung between losses and gains.  The yen fell after Japan’s top currency official Masato Kanda said there was no need for the government to intervene if the market is functioning properly. Global equity markets are getting a lift as investors revise their Fed policy bets due to soft US jobs data. Beijing’s latest supportive policy stance is helping to boost Chinese shares and the onshore yuan.  With investors now cautiously boosting their bets for Fed easing this year, the bond market has welcomed signs of a cooling US labor market. Having slipped for several sessions, the yield on US 10-year Treasuries stood little changed on Tuesday. Australia’s 10-year yield was steady. Fed Bank of Richmond President Thomas Barkin said he expects high rates to slow the economy further and cool inflation to the 2% target. His New York counterpart John Williams said eventually there will be rate cuts — but the decision on when will depend on the totality of the data. Australia’s central bank is expected to keep its key interest rate on hold Tuesday, while reinstating a hawkish bias to acknowledge sticky consumer prices. In China, sentiment got a fillip from news that the technology hub of Shenzhen joined other major cities in easing home buying rules as authorities try to revive the beleaguered real estate market. US After Hours ZETA +15.5%, COHR +11.3%, AMBC +10% among big gainers following earnings; JELD -8%, LCID -7.7%, PLTR -6.1% slipping on quarterly results.
