Key Quotes
“Other than the EU-Greek deadlock, there was very little to grab the market’s attention overnight and hence saw Asian markets do little more than consolidate.”
“The softer than expected price data out of China was seen as giving the PBoC more room to ease policy. This helped Chinese equities to edge higher by about 1%, and saw the AUD and NZD lift +0.3% (AUD US$0.7830, NZD US$0.7425) while the USD was down against all G10 peers by around 0.15%.”
“Equity markets are mixed, the Nikkei –0.7% (the ¥ was 0.1% stronger vs the USD), India stocks +0.5%, after the ~1.8% decline yesterday while Australian stocks are off -0.4%."
“ACGB and NZGB yields inched 1.5-2bps higher across the curve.”
“There were no uniform moves in commodities. Gold +US$5 to US$1245, copper futures –0.3%, iron ore futures +0.6% but Brent crude is down 1.2%.”
