7:01 pm
s shery: welcome to daybreak asia counting down to asia's major market opens. haidi: a cautious open as traders break for a massive -- brace for a massive week in central bank policy with markets expecting a potentially hawkish fed pause following fresh inflation data. >> the pboc under pressure on stimulus as china's recovery stalls. one of the biggest oil. goldman sachs cuts forecast for brent. shery: a look at how u.s. futures are trading, upside early in the asian session after the s&p 500 pushed further into bull market territory friday. we are talking about the 20% plus gain from its october low. now around the peaks we have seen in august last year, around the 43 hundred level. technology resuming its climb
7:02 pm
higher. this all ahead of the fomc decision this week. there is expectation perhaps we might see a skip from the fed. we saw treasury yields continuing to gain ground in the new york session with the 10 year yield around the 373 level. the two year yield close to the 460 level and swap trainers pricing in one third of a chance we could see the fed hike this week. about 90% odds for a hike come july. of coy's -- course, oil prices have been under pressure as we have seen in the regular session as well given concerns about the broader economy. haidi: the concerns could see a bit of a tepid start to trading in asia. let's look at japan. a ninth straight week of gains when it comes to the nikkei 225, the longest advanced since 2017. really, we continue to see these as being the major drivers when it comes to the asian equity
7:03 pm
rally. of course, a lot of concern into the week that holds not just u.s. but boj decisions. we are not expecting any tweak to the yield curve control program by the boj but we will watch for other signs of potential risk aversion there as well. china futures, off by just about .25%. the pboc also in focus. greg economics and bloomberg intelligence is split as to whether we will see the pboc cutting key rates as pressure mounts when it comes to expectations for further stimulus to give a bit more of a catalyst. we had a anemic cpi and falling ppi as well supporting the case for more measures to come through. take a look at the oil market, one of the biggest movers we have seen over the past week. flip-flop trading continues to the downside today. new york crude off about .4%. brent crude also a bit softer. goldman sachs really driving what we see when it comes to potentially the future catalyst
7:04 pm
for the oil market holding the losses as they have cut their outlook again. they see brent trading below $90 by the end of the year. really, this very interesting situation. broader macroeconomic concerns. of course. perhaps the focus for oil traders is more on the demand side when it comes to the china story and production cuts from the saudi's. shery: let's bring in our global policy editor kathleen hays and ruth carson. it's a busy week for central bank decisions. let me start with kathleen. the question seems to be whether the fed will come out with a pause, a hike or even this thing called the skip. kathleen: the skip or you don't hike rates but signal you might raise them again after the meeting. it's not a pause indefinitely, it's a pause where you figure out what you need to do next. jay powell the fed chair definitely opened the door to
7:05 pm
this very clearly in a may 19 speech when he said the fed can afford now to look at the data and make careful assessments. so, again, he did not quite say pause. but he said that chris waller the fed governor may 24 he followed up saying he could see waiting a month or two to do the same thing. see how much impact rate hikes have had. see how much tighter. -- credit conditions have been spurred by banking turmoil in the u.s. and cautiousness on the part of bankers now. then, we have the doves like jim bullard from the st. louis fed. and lori master from the cleveland fed. looking at all the rate hikes they have done read in 15 months 500 when he five basis points of rate hikes. a red occurred rapid amount of said hiking. wouldn't that be enough? they say maybe not. inflation is still high-end has not come down enough. that is why they are arguing the other side.
7:06 pm
maybe powell will convince everybody this is the hawkish pause. we will watch the data. we are not stopping at is more needs to be done we will do it. that puts a lot of focus on the dot plot because the dot plot is the result of the fed changing every three months the forecast for gdp, unemployment, and inflation. right now the idea is inflation is still way above what was forecasted in april so they will have to raise inflation forecast. unemployment has not raised as much as they have thought because the economy is so resilient in the face of 525 basis points of rate hikes. that will feed into the message they send out for is a short-term guidance. i mentioned banks and banking regulation. it will be a very interesting meeting. i think jay powell will have a lot of perhaps, i would say, explaining to do in terms -- in explaining terms and explaining what they are trying to tell us. haidi: perhaps implicating the hawks, right? ruth, when you look at traders
7:07 pm
on the market at the moment what does it tell us about expectations for the fed? ruth: the risk on trades are important to remember. it goes beyond whether the fed will raise interest rates again this week. investors have been relentlessly betting the fed will be forced to cut rates this year. the bets, when you look at them now, they have called significantly from a months ago as inflation comes back down. they remain stubbornly high. some officials say we still need to go tighter to tame the beast. right now traders remain split over whether a rate hike is likely. all eyes will be on jerome powell. importantly, the press conference, the decision for traders to really recalibrate their responses to what the fed's next move will be. we will see treasury yields
7:08 pm
really jump higher in the past week. that is in part thanks to the shock interest rate increases we saw from australia and canada. the message from central banks is clear. the fight against inflation is far from over and this means bad news for bond investors. that said, investors, some of them are seeing the selloff as an opportunity to buy. at around 3.8% where we are now for the 10-year treasury yield investors at jp morgan say the levels are actually pretty good to get into. singapore said they are actively adding duration to take on high yields. it depends on where you sit on the curve. haidi: kathleen, in a way the fed is just kind of the kickoff, right? it's a big week for central bank policy globally. kathleen: bank of japan, here we come. the governor how, his second meeting. he started in april with his first one. now it's june.
7:09 pm
three months ago there was more expectation may be the boj would be ready to tweak because inflation has gone one above 2% on every single measure red is staying there. now we have learned from reporting in tokyo that the boj officials do not see a big need to tweak yield curve control right now. you have a bond market that is pretty stable. you have a yield curve that looks normal again. so even though they realize that yes, inflation is a stronger and we may have to boost the inflation target, that's probably as far as it will go. i think people are figuring that also having heard so many dovish comments, dovish ways of talking about monetary policy, the need to normalize or not, that's another reason why we don't move. look at the ecb. this one is really easy. christine lagarde, the president, has said on more than one occasion the last couple months that inflation remains too high and more needs to be done and they will do whatever they need to do.
7:10 pm
guidance. that's what you want to hear from her. were they going? how much more do they need to do? for the people's bank of china, china's recovery is not quite as robust as they had hoped. the consumer is holding up. not as strong as the consumer needs to be potentially to drive the economy. we heard the head of the people's bank of china say recently that, he just reiterated, we will maintain stable policy. we will have stimulative policy. but, not stimulate any rate cuts. which is to the point for all the people that think, maybe they will not cut the major lending facility. they passed on that on the lpr. the loan prime rate. that it has to be coming. but that does not seem to be in the cards yet. haidi: our global economics and policy editor kathleen hays and are rights and policy reporter ruth carson ahead of a busy week for banks. let's get vonnie quinn with
7:11 pm

>> the press conference will absolutely be the most interesting element. how they describe this gives the market expects will be critical. if they don't get favorable inflation numbers, they are in a really hard situation because they would have to surprise the market. haidi: opinion communist mohamed el-erian there. shery: the week ahead has a massive few days for central bank policy. fed policymakers signal an intent to skip a rate hike at wednesday's meeting, but not necessarily stop rate hikes altogether. that decision will come one day after u.s. cpi friends that are expected to show cooling price pressures. thursday economists expect the ecb to hike again adds inflation pressures remain high. bank of japan is expected to keep policy unchanged.
7:17 pm
officials see little need to adjust its yield curve control program. in china may activity data is likely to provide further impetus for stimulus with bloomberg economists forecasting the pboc go cut its policy rate as soon as this week. also watch rate decisions from the state bank of pakistan and the bank of taiwan. that to week ahead. haidi: what a busy week. our next guest says apac economies are struggling to maintain traction with a downturn in global trade. the chief apac economist at moody's that is -- analytics. steve, look at the most direct policy impact we could see this week. potentially, a move from the pboc. do you think that is warranted? isn't that something we are expecting given that so much signaling has spent -- pointed to the opposite from the people's bank of china? steve: i think definitely there will be stimulus coming along
7:18 pm
the way for china. given the really weak numbers and the unevenness of the data coming out of china. i am not so sure there will be an overall rate cut, a cut in the lpr or something like that. my guess is that because of the now very high debt level in china and the high debt level amongst the whole government, amongst households, amongst business, perhaps, a rate cut may not be the way that the policymakers want to go to stimulate the economy. because, there will not be a desired stimulated increase, a broad increase in debt across the economy. i think there is a greater chance of there might be much more targeted stimulus to try to simulate some of the specific components of the economy that are struggling right now. for example, there could be some easing of some of the rules
7:19 pm
related to buying homes, making it easier for households to purchase a home or provide more access to liquidity, to the property development sector, to allow them to either finish projects, or, get new projects going. but, i do think that one can argue that the government, the policymakers will be trying to do more targeted policy measures rather than broad rate cuts. haidi: is something like that likely to be affected -- effective? with the property sector there are often structural or potentially existential issues with that broader sector that have been building over the years. for the consumer there seems to be a broad lack of sustainable confidence. are any of the measures to loosen liquidity in lending actually going to be taken up? steve: one could argue the same
7:20 pm
thing about rate cuts. would it really have that much of a difference in the housing market given the multiple issues in terms of week demand, excess supply, and, the liquidity problems for builders. i think for the consumer sector, you know, what it we're -- will really take is simply bringing down the unemployment rate, particularly, the unemployment rate for young people in china. i think there could be some very targeted measures to try to create jobs for university levers to be able to get them employed right away rather than struggling to find a job that perhaps might be more effective, again, than simply lowering interest rates. shery: what are some of the actions taken by china so far that could have the biggest implications for all these other economies that depend on china?
7:21 pm
steve: it's tough because, you know, the trade patterns across the region are so weak right now. exports out of all of the asia-pacific countries are down except for japan and malaysia. japan is exporting cars still at this point at a pretty good clip. malaysia is still supported by commodity exports. but everywhere else, exports are down by somewhere around 10% over the year. a lot of those exports are intermediate goods that go to china. so, if the manufacturing side of the economy in china were to get going again, i think that would bode well for demand for exports out of the rest of asia. the trouble is, there is not a
7:22 pm
lot of demand for chinese goods now. exports out of china are down is imports. even if there was some stimulus provided to the manufacturing sector, it is questionable whether it would have much impact. i think that the most important piece of the export trade activity out of asia right now would be whether the north american and european economies can continue to grow and perhaps begin to accelerate a little bit. you know, they are growing very slowly, well below potential. at least, they don't seem to be in a recession right now. that's a positive factor. again, demand for goods from asia is weak. shery: what is your base case scenario now when it comes to the fed and ecb rate decision on how that will affect their economies, and in turn affect asia? steve: yes, that ecb as you mentioned earlier, it is pretty
7:23 pm
clear that there will be an interest rate hike there. the u.s. fed, our base case is that actually, no increase in june, possibly, an increase in july. but, that should be about it. and then hold steady until sometime may be the end of first quarter of next year. so, the turnaround, the improvement in the u.s. economy will be gradual. given that interest rates will still be high. at least, the labor market still seems strong. consumer spending is strong. investment spending is fairly strong in the u.s. as well. so, those factors in the u.s. economy do bode pretty well for a demand for goods coming out of asia. shery: i guess that means rate differentials against japan will continue to be there for a while and perhaps widen. is your expectation that we will
7:24 pm
not necessarily see a change in stimulus measures coming from japan for the time being estimate steve: that seems pretty clear. it will definitely be a while before the yc see measures will be changed in any major way. and any outright change in interest rates i think will be some time to come. even, despite the wage negotiations in the spring. domestic inflation is still rather weak. so, i think the boj will wait until there is some signal that there is more pressure from domestic demand rather than external sources pushing inflation in japan. >> steve cochran, the chief apac economist at moody's analytics with a very busy day for monetary policy this week.

8:06 pm
in terms of the fed, a more hawkish tone, that could change rates maybe a little bit. we actually see markets start to price out. we think there will be one more hike. still to be decided whether it will be now or in july. do expect one more there. >> what is your approach to sending opportunities in ai or ai adjacent stocks? it has been such a big run-up. there is a lot of uncertainty when it comes to application and regulatory hurdles that would still lie ahead. >> we're just at the beginning. we'll have to see how this will change everyday life. you'll get into some kind of a correction.
