Daily Report on January 03, 2017



Asian shares started the new year with a positive note on Tuesday, buoyed by confidence stemming from European equities which surged to the highest in a year on Monday. All of Asia's major markets along with Britain and Switzerland in Europe and the U.S. and Canada closed for the New Year holiday yesterday, leaving trade in other parts of the euro zone thin and volatile. Germany's DAX gained 0.9 percent to its highest in nearly 17 months while France's CAC soared 0.5 percent to a 13-month peak.

Solid factory growth in China and Europe gave the global manufacturing sector a fresh boost at the start of 2017. Data from a private business survey showed China's factory activity rose more than expected last month. Thanks to accelerating demand and soaring output, the Caixin/Markit Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' index (PMI) picked up in December, rising to 51.9, from 50.9 in the previous month. The reading hit the strongest level since January 2013.

MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan jumped rose 0.4 percent after finishing 2016 3.7 percent higher, recording its best year in four. Japanese market remained closed for an extended New Year holiday. The best performers in the region are Australian shares which saw the S&P/ASX 200 Index added 1.2 percent, advancing for the third time in four trading days. Hong Kong's Hang Seng and China’s CSI 300 index and the Shanghai Composite were all higher.

The People's bank of China (PBOC) on Tuesday nearly doubled the number of foreign currencies in a basket used to set the renminbi's value. From the first trading day of 2017, the central bank increased the number of currencies in the CFETS basket to 24 from 13, in an attempt to make the yuan index less influenced by moves in the U.S. dollar. After this change, the nominal dollar weighting in the new basket is reduced by 4 percent.

Expectations Over A Tighter Crude Market Propel Brent To 18-Month Highs

Crude oil prices took off in the first trading day of 2017 on hopes that an output-cut deal between OPEC and non-OPEC oil producers will deplete a global supply glut. Oil futures markets were closed on Monday for New Year public holidays.

International benchmark Brent soared more than 2 percent to hit a 18-month high at $58.35 per barrel before retreating to around $58.07 per barrel at 11:00 GMT.

The agreement, which witnesses the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other exporters led by Russia to collectively reduce output by almost 1.8 million barrels per day (bpd), kicked in on Sunday, Jan.1. Markets are waiting to see whether those producers stick to their part of the deal.

Investor Appetite For Risky Assets Depresses Japanese Yen

The Japanese Yen lost ground to its American counterpart amidst bullish sentiment in the global stock markets. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar has been supported by upbeat economic data.

The dollar index which gauges the strength of the greenback versus a basket of major currencies, added nearly 0.1% to 103.30 in Asian trading hours. The index has soared to as high as 103.82 yesterday following the release of the ISM manufacturing PMI which showed U.S. factory activity accelerated to a two-year high in December.

On the contrary, the Yen, which usually benefits from demand for safe-haven assets, struggled for traction as Asian shares including Japanese equities edged higher.

Consumer Discretionary Fuels SP500 Higher, Fed’s Minutes Awaited

U.S. stocks rose ahead of the release of the Federal Reserve’s December meeting minutes on Wednesday. The benchmark S&P500 added 0.55% to 2270.35 with gains led by consumer discretionary stocks.

Investors are waiting for the Fed’s minutes for its latest meeting when it decided to raise rate for just the second time in a decade. As the central bank is expected to accelerate its rate-hike speed in 2017, markets will be scrutinizing the bank’s viewpoint about President-elect Donald Trump’s pledge of fiscal stimulus.

The S&P 500 witnessed 9 out of 11 sectors trading higher, with consumer discretionary topping the market. While stocks of consumer discretionary contributed to a rise of 1.62%, telecommunications and energy were riding a decline.

Daily Report on January 04, 2017



Asian stocks extended gains on Wednesday with Japanese equities ticking higher on the first trading day of 2017. Japan’s Topix index gained more than 2.4%, reaching the highest in more than a year while Nikkei 225 Stock Average also took off, rising 2.51% to settle at 19,594.16. Both two benchmarks recorded the best first day of trading since 2013.

Meanwhile, the Stoxx Europe 600 Index shed 0.2% to 365.04 as 11:20 GMT on Wednesday after closing at the highest level since Dec. 2015 on Tuesday. Banking shares were trading in a positive territory but failed to offset losses caused by retailers. Shares of Next PLC led declines, tumbling more than 11% after the U.K. fashion retailer cut its annual profit forecast and warned on a difficult year ahead.

On the data front, the European Union's statistics agency on Wednesday said its consumer prices rose at the fastest annual rate in more than three years last month. The pickup in the overall measure of the Eurozone’s inflation stemmed from a rise in energy charges, which sent the index to 1.1% higher in December from 0.6% in November. However, the core rate – which excludes prices of items such as energy and food – advanced only 0.9%, triggering caution for the European Central Bank that the sharp rise in inflation may be unstable.

Crude prices recovered from a big loss a day prior on expectations U.S. crude oil stockpiles will contract last week. The contract for Brent crude futures hit a fresh 18-month high in the previous session but could not sustain the bullish momentum and fell on the back of a strong dollar. The benchmark settled at $55.47 per barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were trading at $52.53 per barrel, not far from the last settlement. According to analysts polled by Reuters, weekly U.S. statistics on oil stocks due on Thursday are expected to show a 1.7 million barrel draw.

Daily Report on January 05, 2017



Asian shares advanced for an eighth consecutive day on Thursday, mirroring gains on Wall Street overnight. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose 0.8 percent to a three-week high with Australia and Hong Kong leading gains. The Hang Seng added 1.2%, looking set for the highest level since Dec. 14. While Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 Index gained 0.4 percent. On the contrary, Japan's Nikkei shed 0.3 percent as the yen edged up on the dollar.

The greenback fell after the minutes of the Dec. 13-14 meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee had been released in Washington on Wednesday. According to the minutes, almost all officials indicated that the prospects for fiscal stimulus under President-elect Trump’s administration could boost economic growth in the coming years. However, it still remained unchanged about “how such changes might alter the economic outlook”, the minutes said.

At the meeting, members highlighted the potential of higher inflation thanks to stronger economic growth and further increases in oil prices, which may require a more aggressive rate-hike path. Nonetheless, some officials stated that a stronger dollar could continue to offset rise in inflation. Most on the committee reiterated that a “gradual” pace of rate hikes over the coming years would likely remain appropriate.

Crude prices saw a rebound overnight following weekly data by American Petroleum Institute (API) that showed U.S. crude inventories fell 7.4 million barrels to 482.7 million in the week ended Dec. 30. The reading was far above analyst expectations for a decrease of 2.2 million barrels.

Elsewhere, China’s services sector was reported to accelerated to a 17-month high last month. The nation’s Markit/Caixin services purchasing managers' index (PMI) ticked higher to 53.4 in December on a seasonally adjusted basis from 53.1 in November, adding evidences to views that China is starting the new year with stronger momentum.

Sterling On A Slump Lifts U.K. Shares To Another Record

U.K. shares were set for the tenth advancing session in a row and another settlement record on Monday with gains led by miners and a weakening pound.
The benchmark FTSE 100 jumped to as high as 7,239.00 in early trade then retreated. However, the index remained near all-time record. Thanks to the decline in Sterling following comments from Prime Minister Theresa May that signaled a “hard Brexit” in an interview with Sky News on Sunday, mining stocks were the biggest gainers.

Equities in New Zealand and Singapore rose while stock benchmarks such as Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 Index, Korea’s Kospi index and Shanghai Composite Index were in red. Japan’s Topix also dropped on the back of a strengthening yen. The stock index lost 0.6%, after paring an earlier loss during the Asian morning trading session.

Crude price were struggling for direction ahead of European trading hours after losing nearly 4% on Monday. Expectations over output cuts planned by some members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and other producers such as Russia eased worries about rising oil rigs in the U.S., which was reported to have advanced for 10 weeks in a row.

According to the National Statistics Bureau on Tuesday, China's producer prices rose much better than expected last month. Led by prices of coal and other raw materials, the country’s prices of coal and other raw materials surged 5.5% in December from a year earlier. The headline reading reached a 3.3 percent increase, soaring past both expectations of a 4.5% gain and November’s result of a 3.3% increase.

Meanwhile, consumer prices remained subdued. Consumer inflation rose only 2.1 percent on a yearly basis, weighed down by food prices that rose at a more modest pace. The government research institute, the China Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), forecast a growth of 2.2 percent in CPI and an increase of 1.6 percent in PPI in 2017. This is good news for the country as for 2016, CPI rose 2.0 percent while PPI slid 1.4 percent.

In Australia, retail sales rose 0.2% in November compared to the previous month, as stated by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The figure rose much less than economist’s expectation calling for a 0.4% rise.
