MNI EUROPEAN MARKETS ANALYSIS: PBOC To Strengthen Offshore Yuan Markets, Maintain Stability

  • Equity sentiment has remained on the backfoot. Key regional markets are down, while US futures are also weaker, following cash losses in Wednesday trade. This has aided USD gains, although yen is outperforming. The yuan is also trading resiliently, the PBoC vowed to keep FX stable.
  • US Tsy futures have been steady, while JGB futures are cheaper but well off the session’s worst level after today’s 2-year supply showed solid demand metrics.
  • The new NZ government presented its first budget and delivered the income tax cuts it promised in 2023’s election. Finance minister Willis said that the cuts worth $14.7bn over 4 years will be offset fully by “savings and revenue initiatives” thus not adding to inflationary pressure.
  • Later the Fed’s Williams and Logan speak. In terms of data, there are revised US Q1 GDP, April trade and jobless claims plus Spain’s May CPI and European Commission May survey.
