Li Ning (02331.HK): The company will hold a board meeting on August 21 to approve the interim results.Goldman Sachs has re-positioned its preference for Asian investment-grade dollar bonds over Asian high-yield bonds, citing concerns about the US economy and expectations that the Federal Reserve will take steps to support growth. "With renewed concerns about US growth and valuations at elevated levels relative to end-2024, we believe its time to re-position to overweight Asian investment-grade bonds over high-yield," strategists Kenneth Ho and Sandra Yeung wrote in a Friday report. The return to a more cautious view reflects broader concerns about US growth momentum following recent unexpectedly weak jobs data. Among Asian investment-grade bonds, Goldman Sachs sees the best value in BBB-rated bonds.On August 11th, Goldman Sachs research showed that while US businesses have borne most of the costs of Trumps tariffs so far, the burden will increasingly shift to consumers. Goldman Sachs analysts, including Jan Hatzius, wrote in a report that US consumers had borne approximately 22% of the tariff costs as of June, but if the recent tariffs follow the pattern of previous tariffs, their share will rise to 67%. US businesses have borne approximately 64% of the tariff costs so far, but their share will fall below 10% going forward. Foreign exporters have borne approximately 14% of the tariff costs as of June, and their share could rise to 25% going forward. Overall, US inflation will rise for the remainder of the year. Goldman Sachs forecasts that, assuming an underlying inflation rate of 2.4% after excluding the impact of tariffs, core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) will grow by 3.2% year-on-year in December.Australian Prime Minister Albanese: Tell Netanyahu we need a political solution, not a military solution.Australian Prime Minister Albanese: Discussions with Netanyahu were civilized.

As the Fed confirms the disinflationary process, the USD/CAD exchange rate may fall to 1.3250

The USD/CAD pair resumed its two-day losing run after slipping below 1.3270 in Asia. Following two days of declining US inflation, the Canadian dollar fell on Wednesday.

 

The US Manufacturing PMI (Jan) dropped for a third consecutive month to 47.4, below the consensus estimate of 48.0 and the prior reading of 48.4. The Index of New Orders for Manufactured Goods, which indicates future demand, decreased to 42.5 from 46.1 and 45.1. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell stated in his comments that consumer spending has slowed significantly and that the central bank will now focus on labor cost balance. The US Employment Cost Index (Q4) fell by 1%.

 

The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) have decreased for three consecutive months, while economic activity and consumer spending have slowed, signaling deflation. Powell stated, "Can now for the first time announce, 'The disinflationary process has begun.'"

 

The market participants' risk appetite has raised the demand for risky assets. After a solid performance on Wednesday, S&P500 futures increased in the Asian morning. The US Dollar Index (DXY) found limits following a decline to about 100.80 amid risk-on market mood. The yield on 10-year US Treasuries has surpassed 3.41 percent.

 

Monthly GDP (Nov) data for the Canadian dollar were 0.1%, above the consensus forecast of flat. Since the Bank of Canada (BoC) ceased policy tightening after increasing interest rates to 4.50 percent, the Canadian economy has not declined on a monthly basis.

 

After plunging to nearly $76, the price of oil is recovering. Black gold dipped on Wednesday after the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported 4.14 million oil inventories for the week ending January 27. Because Canada is a major oil exporter to the United States, lower oil prices influence the Canadian Dollar.
