>>> What to look at today - 19th of July 2022

Asian shares were subdued Tuesday after Apple Inc.’s plans to slow hiring highlighted concerns that aggressive monetary tightening to tackle inflation portends an economic downturn. An Asian equity gauge dipped, hampered by a drop in technology stocks in Hong Kong and a retreat in China amid rising Covid infections and deepening turmoil in the nation’s property sector. US futures inched up in the wake of another reversal for the S&P 500 on Monday. The index erased a 1% gain and ended lower on Apple’s intention to moderate some hiring and spending.  A dollar gauge remained near a record high and Treasuries were steady, leaving the 10-year yield below 3%. The bond market reflects expectations for a short, sharp Federal Reserve interest-rate hiking cycle that gives way to cuts next year to shore up growth. Crude dipped but held above $100 a barrel and will likely stay therefor the rest of the year, according to Iraq’s energy minister. Etherwas among the leaders of a cryptocurrency rally.  orporate updates such as Apple’s are helping markets to calibrate the risk of recession. Signs that high inflation and monetary tightening are squeezing consumers and employment could feed into worries that an equity revival since mid-June is merely brief respite in a bruising bear market. In China, officials may allow homeowners to temporarily haltmortgage payments on stalled property projects without incurring penalties. Authorities are racing to prevent a crisis of confidence in real estate from upending the world’s second-largest economy. Meanwhile, India’s rupee tumbled to a fresh record low as foreign investors continued to pull money out from the nation’s stocks.
