Fed officials remained jittery about the trajectory of inflation. Fed Vice Chair signalled policy rate is likely to be restrictive for some time unless policymakers are convinced that current inflation slowdown is not transitory. Atlanta Fed President also hinted at more time before price stability will be achieved. Reserve Bank of Australia’s latest minutes signalled higher for longer rates on the back of upside risks to inflation. Even some statements in the minutes could not rule out the possibility of rate hike. Elsewhere, global commodity prices are on an uptrend. Gold and copper prices are trading at near high levels. This got reflected in the Bloomberg Commodity Spot index which rose to its highest since Jan’23. Thus, yields globally firmed up. On domestic front, all eyes are on the progress of General Elections.
Except Dow Jones, other global stocks ended in green. Investors’ focus remained on minutes of Fed meeting and earnings reports. Stocks in Asia rose sharply, with Nikkei surging by 0.7%. Sensex rose marginally by 0.1% in the special trading session with capital goods stocks leading the gain. However, it is trading lower today, in line with other Asian stocks.

Fed officials again gave conflicting signals on future direction of rates. Atlanta Fed President hinted at favourable conditions for lowering rates by the end of the year. Fed vice Chair however signalled caution on the back of US economy’s solid footing. Fed Governor was also of the same tone and pointed out that several good inflation numbers are needed to begin the rate cut cycle. Thus, even if one rate cut translates this year, the rate cut journey by Fed is likely to be a slow one. Elsewhere in Germany, PPI inched down. ECB President indicated rate cut in Jun’24. In Japan, trade deficit widened as exports grew at a slower pace (8.3%, YoY in Apr’24 compared to 7.3% in Mar’24) and imports picked up (8.3% compared to -5.1%). On domestic front, RBI’s report on state of the economy has remained bullish on growth and pointed to cautious approach about policy based on evolution of inflation.

Hang Seng led the losses declining by 2.1%, amidst a decline in basic materials and industrial stocks. Sensex declined by 0.1%, dragged down by technology shares. However, it is trading higher today, in line with other Asian stocks.

On the other hand, EUR was marginally weaker as ECB President hinted at the possibility of a rate cut in Jun’24. INR appreciated marginally. It is trading further stronger today, while other Asian currencies are trading mixed.

Elsewhere in Japan, core CPI softened thus raising doubts about BoJ’s future course of action. On domestic front, RBI announced windfall transfer of surplus to the government.
