Asia Stocks to Slip; Oil Gains Amid Iran Tension: Markets Wrap
(Bloomberg) -- Stocks in Asia looked set to kick off the week on the backfoot following declines in the U.S. Friday. Oil gained amid tensions in the Persian Gulf.Futures dropped in Japan, Hong Kong and Australia late Friday after U.S. markets closed lower. Traders rushed away from bets the Federal Reserve will slash rates by a half-point this month, a day after clamoring for them, supporting Treasury yields and the dollar. Oil rose 1% in early Monday trading ahead of an emergency meeting by U.K. officials to discuss the security of shipping in the Persian Gulf after Iran seized a British oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz last week.This week sees the earnings season ramp up and a blackout period for Fed speakers prior to next week’s policy decision. On the trade front, some Chinese companies are applying for tariff exemptions as they make inquiries about buying U.S. agricultural products, more than a week after President Donald Trump complained that China hasn’t increased its purchases of American farm products.“The start of earnings season has been very positive, but the price action on the major indexes has not been,” said Edward Moya, a strategist at Oanda Corp. “It appears markets are waiting to break and this could be the week that happens.”Meantime, protests in Hong Kong heated up as an otherwise peaceful protest march of over 100,000 people turned tense late Sunday. In Japan, Shinzo Abe won a majority in the country’s upper-house elections, but won’t get the two-thirds of seats needed to revise the country’s pacifist constitution.Here are some key events coming up:Earnings season rolls on with companies including: Amazon.com, Alphabet, Unilever, Caterpillar, Coca-Cola, McDonald’s and Boeing.China holds the opening ceremony of its technology board in Shanghai. About two dozen local start-ups are making their debut on the Nasdaq-style exchange.U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May’s successor is announced on Tuesday, with Boris Johnson expected to become the new Conservative leader and PM.Thursday brings the European Central Bank policy decision. Economists widely expect officials to signal their readiness to cut interest rates and potentially broaden stimulus. Some see the chance of an immediate rate cut. ECB President Mario Draghi holds a briefing afterward.These are the main moves in markets:StocksFutures on the S&P 500 were flat as of 7:42 a.m. in Tokyo. The underlying gauge fell 0.6% on Friday.Futures on Japan’s Nikkei 225 slipped 0.6%.Hang Seng futures dipped 0.5%.Futures on Austraila’s S&P/ASX 200 Index lost 0.4%.CurrenciesThe yen was flat at 107.77 per dollar.The offshore yuan rose 0.1% to 6.8780 per dollar.The euro bought $1.1218, little changed.BondsThe yield on 10-year Treasuries rose about three basis points to 2.06% on Friday.Australia’s 10-year yield was steady at 1.35%.CommoditiesWest Texas Intermediate crude climbed 1% to $56.17 a barrel.Gold was down 0.1% to $1,424.38 an ounce.To contact the reporter on this story: Adam Haigh in Sydney at ahaigh1@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Christopher Anstey at canstey@bloomberg.net, Cormac MullenFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

A New Race to The Bottom Buoying Markets
It’s hard not to focus on the communication faux-pas from the New York Fed, but it seems too important to avoid. I flagged NY Fed president, John Williams, speech in yesterday’s ‘Daily Fix’ as a potential volatility event, suggesting the risk of guiding the market to 50bp was a low probability; but it was a risk.

GLOBAL MARKETS-Fed rate cut bets buoy stocks, dollar steadies
Global stocks rose on Friday as investors firmed up bets on a U.S. interest rate cut at the end of July after a speech by a top Federal Reserve official further cemented expectations for one, fuelling appetite for risky assets and capping the dollar. European shares opened higher across the board, but had given up gains by midday in London. In oil markets, crude surged after the United States said its navy had destroyed an Iranian drone in the Strait of Hormuz, a major chokepoint for global crude flows, raising concerns about supply disruptions out of the region.

Global stocks down as big rate cut hopes fade, dollar rises
A gauge of global stocks declined after early gains dissipated on Friday as expectations for a strongly dovish U.S. Federal Reserve at its next meeting were dialled back, pushing the dollar higher. On Wall Street, a climb in major indexes fizzled late in the session after the Wall Street Journal reported the Fed is likely to cut rates by 25 basis points when it meets later this month, after comments by a Fed official on Thursday raised expectations a larger cut may be on the cards.

U.S. Stocks Climb, Dollar Falls on Fed-Cut Wagers: Markets Wrap
(Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks rebounded and the dollar fell after Federal Reserve Bank of New York President John Williams highlighted the need for swift action should policy makers conclude the economy is in trouble.Consumer and financial stocks led gains in the S&P 500 Index, while Treasury 10-year yields dropped. A positive outlook from Apple Inc. supplier’s Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s lifted chipmakers. The NYSE FANG+ Index slid on Netflix Inc.’s surprise loss of U.S. customers. A report that Iran made a “substantial” offer on its nuclear program in return for fewer sanctions gave a lift to equities that was later tempered by news that the U.S. shot down an Iranian drone. In after-hours trading, Microsoft Corp. and cybersecurity company CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. rallied after sales topped estimates.The futures market edged closer to the idea of a half-point U.S. rate cut this month, with fed funds now pricing in about 42 basis points of easing. Fed Vice Chairman Richard Clarida told Fox Business Network that policy makers shouldn’t wait for the economy to turn down to act. Cutting rates could help cushion some of the blow from uncertainty about trade that’s likely to prove persistent, according to Fed Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard.“We’re in a trade war, you’re seeing the impact on corporate earnings, you’re seeing the central banks forced to scramble to react to that,” Bob Michele, CIO and head of global fixed income at JPMorgan Asset Management, said in a Bloomberg TV interview.Elsewhere, oil slid to the lowest in almost a month as pessimism about a trade truce between the U.S. and China continued to dog markets, while the resumption of Russian pipeline flows fed worries about a supply glut. The pound climbed as the British Parliament backed measures to prevent the next prime minister suspending the legislature to pursue a no-deal Brexit.These are the main moves in markets:StocksThe S&P 500 rose 0.4% to 2,995.11 as of 4 p.m. New York time.The Stoxx Europe 600 Index decreased 0.2%.The MSCI Asia Pacific Index fell 0.6%.CurrenciesThe Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index dipped 0.5%.The euro gained 0.5% to $1.1276.The British pound climbed 1% to $1.2554.The Japanese yen added 0.6% to 107.26 per dollar.BondsThe yield on 10-year Treasuries dipped two basis points to 2.03%.Germany’s 10-year yield declined two basis points to -0.31%.Britain’s 10-year yield was unchanged at 0.759%.CommoditiesThe Bloomberg Commodity Index dipped 0.8%.West Texas Intermediate crude declined 2.6% to $55.30 a barrel.\--With assistance from Nancy Moran, Sophie Caronello, Todd White, Yakob Peterseil, Cecile Gutscher, Tom Keene, Nejra Cehic, Adam Haigh and Vildana Hajric.To contact the reporter on this story: Rita Nazareth in New York at rnazareth@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Jeremy Herron at jherron8@bloomberg.net, Rita NazarethFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

MORNING BID EUROPE-As clock ticks, what price no-deal Brexit?
Opponents of a hard Brexit in parliament may try again to assert their influence today by backing a bill that would require the assembly to get regular updates on the situation in Northern Ireland - a device whose main goal is to stop any future PM from suspending parliament to usher in a no-deal Brexit. If the vote does go ahead today, the big question is whether any cabinet members - among them finance minister Philip Hammond - will join that effort. Before that, the UK's official forecasting body is due to give a series of predictions on the UK economy, including what would happen to it in the event of a no-deal Brexit: according to the Times, the body will conclude that such an outcome would take a massive three percent chunk out of GDP.

Stocks gain on Fed rate cut optimism; oil drops
A gauge of global stocks advanced on Thursday, erasing declines on a late rally after comments from a U.S. Federal Reserve policymaker heightened expectations for a rate cut, while oil prices dropped on forecasts of rising output. In a speech read as a strong argument in favor of quick and aggressive action by the Fed to cut rates this month, New York Fed President John Williams said policymakers need to add stimulus early to deal with too-low inflation when rates are near zero. "In all the Fed speak we’ve had... it seems like the ones that are more interested in cutting are more visible," said Thomas Martin, senior portfolio manager at Globalt Investments in Atlanta, Georgia.

Stocks Drop on Trump’s Trade Remarks; Bonds Fall: Markets Wrap
(Bloomberg) -- Sign up for Next China, a weekly email on where the nation stands now and where it's going next.U.S. stocks fell from a record high as President Donald Trump said he could impose more tariffs on China, reminding investors that the trade spat remains unresolved. Treasuries dropped and the dollar rose.The S&P 500 Index halted a five-day rally, with energy producers joining an oil sell-off and technology giants facing an antitrust showdown with Congress. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. jumped on better-than-estimated results in its trading unit, and JPMorgan Chase & Co. rebounded from losses triggered by a disappointing lending outlook. Benchmark 10-year yields climbed on solid data, then pared their surge after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said the central bank “will act as appropriate” amid increased uncertainties.Investors remained locked into the notion of a Fed rate cut this month even after strong retail sales, factory output and housing data. While Powell’s remarks resembled his July 10-11 testimony to U.S. lawmakers, they continued to support the case for monetary easing amid risks stemming from Trump’s trade policies and slower global growth.“Trade’s a big, big issue,” said Dave Campbell, a principal at San Francisco-based BOS, which manages about $4.5 billion. “There’s a lot of uncertainties -- all of these are weighing on people’s minds right now.”Elsewhere, Bitcoin slid below $10,000 just three weeks after surging above it for the first time in more than a year as U.S. legislators expressed deep skepticism about the viability of cryptocurrencies. The euro slipped as investor confidence in Germany’s economic outlook fell. The pound slumped as the market once again reckoned with no-deal Brexit risk after the contenders to be U.K. prime minister toughened their rhetoric.Here are some key events coming up:Bank of America Corp. and Taiwan Semiconductor are among companies due to report results this week.Monetary policy decisions are due in Indonesia, South Korea and South Africa on Thursday.These are the main moves in markets:StocksThe S&P 500 dipped 0.3% to 3,004.04 as of 4 p.m. New York time.The Stoxx Europe 600 Index added 0.4%.The MSCI Asia Pacific Index decreased 0.2%.CurrenciesThe Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index increased 0.4%.The euro declined 0.4% to $1.1209.The British pound decreased 0.9% to $1.2408.The Japanese yen dipped 0.3% to 108.28 per dollar.BondsThe yield on 10-year Treasuries gained three basis points to 2.11%.Germany’s 10-year yield climbed one basis point to -0.24%.Britain’s 10-year yield increased two basis points to 0.821%.CommoditiesThe Bloomberg Commodity Index slid 1.1%.West Texas Intermediate crude sank to $57.62 a barrel.\--With assistance from Adam Haigh, Samuel Potter, Laura Curtis and Yakob Peterseil.To contact the reporters on this story: Rita Nazareth in New York at rnazareth@bloomberg.net;Vildana Hajric in New York at vhajric1@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Jeremy Herron at jherron8@bloomberg.net, Rita NazarethFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

MORNING BID EUROPE-From Berlin to Brussels: von der Leyen's vote test
Germany's Ursula von der Leyen will learn from a European Parliament vote this evening whether she will become the first woman to head the European Commission, the executive body that shapes EU policy on everything from trade to eurozone fiscal matters. Beset by challenges ranging from Brexit to trade, the last thing the EU wants is a rejection of von der Leyen that would force it back to more horsetrading on the bloc's top jobs. The dynamic of the UK Conservative Party leadership campaign was always going to force an escalation of Brexit rhetoric - and sure enough last night's closing debate saw both candidates harden their language on any future deal with the EU.

Top Growth Sector Faces Test of Great Expectations
(Bloomberg) -- Signs of stabilization for China’s economy provided just what the stock market needed to be steady as investors dive into the earnings season. Among tech companies, SAP, ASML and Ericsson are scheduled to report this week, which might signal what’s next for the shares of Europe’s best-performing industry this year.The region’s technology sector is up 26% in 2019, keeping up with the Nasdaq 100, while the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index SOX has soared more than 30%. The SX8P has been bouncing near the 500-point level after recently hitting a one-year high following a truce in the U.S.-China trade dispute.The big question remains what impact the commerce wrangle will have on earnings. We’ve already seen numerous warnings from the semiconductor complex, with IQE, Siltronic and Broadcom setting alarm bells ringing at the end of June. Amid escalating tension between Japan and South Korea, Samsung saw its quarterly profit fall by more than half.Uncertainty stemming from the trade war and the potential drag on the global economy has prompted analysts at Evercore and DA Davidson to warn that a recovery in demand for the chip sector might not materialize until 2020. Bloomberg Intelligence analysts also highlight that the sector’s valuation against its growth picture isn’t a perfect match. Indeed, it’s the most expensive industry group in Europe with an estimated price-to-earnings ratio near 23 times for 2019.All this means the second-quarter earnings season will be a key test as to whether we’re getting closer to the bottom of the cycle. To be sure, there have been some upbeat signs recently, such as the previously mentioned truce, and the U.S. saying that it will grant licenses to Huawei suppliers. Elsewhere, Asian bellwether TSMC, which supplies Apple, saw quarterly sales beat expectations, while Chinese car sales rose for the first time in a year in June, a potential positive for chip makers exposed to autos, such as Infineon and Melexis.Analysts at Liberum highlight signs of improvement in areas such as servers, smartphones and cryptocurrency, as well as semiconductor companies reporting “green shoots” of recovery more broadly. They’re overweight on ASML and Ericsson.Meanwhile, Deutsche Bank analysts expect a significant step-up in inquiries for both Ericsson and Nokia regarding 5G infrastructure, driven by the need for continuity of supply, as well as ongoing security concerns. That said, they don’t think this will improve financials for either company for two years, though sentiment is still positive around margins in the home region.Looking at Ericsson’s and Nokia’s share price, the initial U.S. ban on sales to Huawei has only had a small effect so far. Any update on the matter will be scrutinized, especially after Nokia’s earnings shocker in April.In the meantime, Euro Stoxx 50 futures are trading 0.1% lower ahead of the open.SECTORS IN FOCUS TODAY:Watch miners and steelmakers sectors on Tuesday after iron ore prices jumped following the latest output data from Rio Tinto and on signs of healthy demand from steel mills. Watch the pound and U.K. stocks a difficult meeting was held between the chief negotiators of Brexit. While the EU is reportedly weighing up concessions it could offer to the U.K. to prevent a no-deal Brexit, the pound is at the weakest level ever for this time of year and, if history is anything to go by, it’s going to get worse in August.Watch trade-sensitive sectors after U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin U.S. trade chief Robert Lighthizer may travel to Beijing to hold trade negotiations. Meanwhile, the World Trade Organization is expected to give the U.S. the green light to slap new tariffs on Europe in the ongoing battle about illegal aircraft subsidies.Watch banks, as JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs will report earnings, after Citigroup kicked off the season on Monday with a mixed set of results.COMMENT:“Although the U.K. economy has surprised most commentators in its strength since the 2016 referendum and there is the promise of a fiscal dividend should Brexit be smoothly achieved, and while U.K. equities look cheap, a ‘radical overhaul’ will scare international investors into a rush for the exit,” Kames Capital CIO Stephen Jones writes in a note. “This is not the time to go strongly overweight U.K. assets – equities, Gilts or Sterling.”COMPANY NEWS AND M&A:CRH to Sell Europe Distribution for Ent.
