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 China's official PMI rises, the USD/CNH exchange rate fluctuates below 6.7600

The USD/CNH currency pair is experiencing unpredictable volatility as a result of the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) of China releasing strong official PMI data. The Official Manufacturing PMI has hit 50.1, exceeding both the 49.7 consensus expectation and the 49.0 level from the prior month. In addition, the Non-Manufacturing PMI has grown from 51.0 to 54.4. Despite the fact that households were preoccupied with celebrating the Lunar New Year in January, the scale of economic operations in China increased considerably.

 

The Caixin Manufacturing PMI data, which will be issued on Wednesday, will be the catalyst for a ferocious move in the Chinese Yuan. The economic indicators may rise to 49.5, up from 49.0 earlier.

 

As a result of the elimination of restrictions on the movement of people, products, and machines, China's economy is operating at full capacity. According to a Reuters poll, China's economic growth is anticipated to return to 4.9% in 2023 before stabilizing in 2024, as policymakers pledge to bolster support for the COVID-ravaged economy. In addition, the People's Bank of China will cut the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) by 5 basis points (bps) in the first quarter of CY2023, according to the survey.

 

In the interim, the risk-off impulse is regaining traction as S&P500 futures have surrendered more than half of the gains made by Asia's early trading session. As the Federal Reserve (Fed) prepares to raise interest rates to achieve its inflation objective of 2%, risk-perceived assets are anticipated to remain volatile. Fed chair Jerome Powell is likely to announce a 25 basis point (bps) interest rate hike due to the sharp declines in consumer spending and the Producer Price Index (PPI) in the United States economy.
