APAC Global Macro Morning Brief

Quick One today folks, reiterating what this wk is ahead… don’t forget RBA is on today & market is expecting 25bp cut…

Plus of course Happy 70yr Anniversary, China not back in until next Tues

Plus also check slides 10 – 11, from this wk’s Macro Monday focusing on the potential implications from the impeachment investigations… will share this last point which is key to get across to clients, as it could potentially be quite the game changer with a -20% to -30% scenario for US equities in 2020

"Still a long way to the Mid Jul 2020, the Democratic nomination for their presidential candidate. One flip-side of all this to be wary of, if Hunter Biden is found to be clearly linked to corruption (which we know was rampant in the previous Ukrainian regime) it could force Joe Biden out of the race, in which case Warren takes nomination & US EQ mkts tank"


Week Ahead:

• Key focus will be all about Oct 1^st, China’s 70yr National anniversary. They will be looking to flex their muscle. Key thing is will we potentially see ripples out of trump (tariffs on Oct 1^st) and/or renewed escalation from the protest movement in Hong Kong?

• China will be out for Golden Week from Tue Oct 1^st & will not be back in until Tue Oct 8^th, so things will quiet down in North Asia

• RBA rate decision on Tue Oct 1^st – currently market is expecting them to remain on hold at 1.0%

• We also have the RBI due, hard to know which way they will do given the massive stimulus efforts from the government last Friday – yet one thing for sure is, they likely have a dovish skew from a policy perspective to be support of the governments efforts. Currently cash ratio is expected to stay at 4% yet cuts expected on repo & repurchase  rates

• Data wise it will be all about Final PMIs, US ISM / NFP / AHE, Aussie Retail Sales & Japan’s Tankan Survey, as well as UK’s GDP
