By Lawrence White LONDON (Reuters) - European stocks crept sluggishly higher on Tuesday as investors sought safety in defensive names, while risk aversion likewise lifted the safe haven dollar following weak Chinese and U.S. economic data that stoked fears of a global recession. The dollar briefly hit a one-week high as investors piled back in having ditched the greenback last week following lower-then-expected U.S. inflation data, while the Aussie, euro and Chinese yuan buckled. Europe's benchmark STOXX index climbed 0.3% to hit a 10-week high and mark a fifth straight session of gains, led by mining companies as London-listed BHP Group (NYSE:BHP) reported strong results. But S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures dipped, indicating a likely weaker direction for U.S. markets when they open later. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan dipped 0.03% after gains earlier in the day. MSCI's benchmark index has gained 5% from the year's lows but is still down 15% this year. Just as investors were taking heart from a four-week rally in global equities that pushed markets to their highest in more than three months, Monday's weak Chinese activity data spanning industrial output and retail sales hit sentiment. Also, U.S. single-family homebuilders' confidence and New York state factory activity fell in August to their lowest since near the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, a further sign the world's largest economy is softening as the Federal Reserve raises interest rates. The picture was mixed across Asian bourses on Tuesday, with Tokyo and Taiwan benchmarks flat, while South Korean stocks put on 0.2%. Chinese stocks gave up early gains as growth concerns remained after data showed economic activity and credit expansion slowed sharply in July, prompting the central bank to unexpectedly cut interest rates. The blue-chip CSI 300 index slipped 0.2% after dipping on Monday. Bond markets, meanwhile, continued their tussle between fears over inflation and recession, which are particularly acute in the euro zone. Germany's 10-year yield, the benchmark for the euro zone, was up 3 basis points (bps) to 0.932%, holding below a two-week high of 1.025% touched last Friday. DOLLAR HAVEN Investors' latest move to the safety of the dollar came after the raft of weak global economic indicators. The U.S. economy contracted in the first and second quarters, amplifying a debate over whether the country is, or will soon be, in recession. On Tuesday, the dollar index, which measures the greenback against six major peers, rose as high as 106.87, its strongest since Aug. 8. The euro, the most heavily weighted currency in the dollar index, dropped 0.28% to 1.01305. The Australian and New Zealand dollars were put on the defensive by frail global data. Brent crude futures fell 1% to $94.11 as the bleak economic data from top crude buyer China renewed concerns of a global recession, and the market monitored talks on a reviving deal that could allow more Iranian oil exports. WTI crude futures shed 0.98% to $88.52 a barrel. Spot gold dipped slightly to $1,775.6 per ounce as the stronger dollar dented bullion's appeal and investors watched for signs of future rate hikes by the federal reserve.

The Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) notched its 10th winning session in a row on Friday while the S&P 500 scored another record high on Friday and booked a week of solid gains following a strong U.S. jobs report and positive data for Pfizer’s experimental pill against COVID-19, which helped boost travel and other economic reopen sectors.

At the same time, imports rose 20.6% yoy in October, missing expectations of a 26.2% surge, but fell 3.2% sequentially in October (vs. -0.7% in September).

For the first ten months of the year, the surplus was $320.67 billion – Reuters Highway, broadband and other infrastructure improvement spending deal this weekend, as the $1 trillion infrastructure bill passed through Congress on Friday and among parts of the deal, allows for $7.5 billion spending for building out a network of electric vehicle chargers and another $7.5 billion for low or zero-emission buses and ferries.

By Tom Westbrook and Anushka Trivedi SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Asian stocks struggled to shake off contagion fears on Tuesday and selling pressure persisted amid concern that troubles at indebted developer China Evergrande could ripple across the world economy, markets and financial system. Hong Kong's Hang Seng hit a fresh 11-month low and was down 0.3% by midsession, with a early gains in banks and property stocks paring a little. Japan's Nikkei returned from a market holiday with a drop of almost 2%. (T) Currency, commodity and bond markets steadied, but overall demand for riskier assets remained low especially as the Federal Reserve is expected to step closer to tapering on Wednesday. European futures rose 0.5% in the Asia session. FTSE futures advanced 0.7% and S&P 500 futures climbed 0.6% a day after selling hit banks on both sides of the Atlantic and tipped the S&P 500 to its steepest fall in two months. "For markets to bounce we need to see concrete actions from the authorities to stem any wide spread contagion," said Dave Wang, a portfolio manager at Nuvest Capital in Singapore. Though China is on holiday, and mainland markets closed, there was little evidence of that yet, with no mention of Evergrande's troubles in major Chinese state media. Evergrande, struggling for cash, owes $305 billion and investors are on edge at the risk a messy failure reverberates through China's property sector and everything exposed to it - primarily banks and then the broader economy. China's yuan steadied in offshore trade to recoup some of the losses that sent it to a three-week low on Monday. Evergrande shares fell 4% as focus there shifts to Thursday when the company is due to make bond interest payments. Australia's stock market was also barely better than flat as iron ore miners BHP and Rio Tinto (NYSE:RIO) scraped from nine-month troughs plumbed on Monday. Copper hovered near a one-month low on demand fears. [MET/L] "There is market caution," said George Boubouras, head of research, at K2 Asset Management in Melbourne. "However the profit and earnings cycle is far from a bear market," he said. "Evergrande is a sentiment issue, no doubt. But no Lehman event ... it will be addressed, bailed out or restructured if it becomes a notable mainland China problem." FED WATCH The next few days present yet more tests, with the Federal Reserve concluding a two-day meeting on Wednesday and likely to offer some guidance on the tapering outlook and with Evergrande due to meet its bond interest payments on Thursday. In the currency market, traders took solace from the relative calm in Hong Kong after Monday's plunge. The euro traded at $1.1730, after having touched a near-one-month low of $1.1700 while the safe-haven yen slipped to 109.57 yen to the dollar. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield crept up to 1.3277%, with moves capped as markets have an eye to the Fed. Investors are looking for the tapering timeline on its bond purchases as well as its board members' long-term rates and economic projections. "I think the Fed will calm things down and I guess defer their tapering decision till November, said Jarrod Kerr, chief economist at Kiwibank. This week will also see policy decisions from many other central banks spanning Brazil, Britain, Hungary, Indonesia, Japan, Norway, the Philippines, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan and Turkey. Oil prices also rebounded a tad in Asia after falling the previous day. U.S. crude futures traded at $70.98 per barrel. [O/R] Wobbling cryptocurrencies also found a floor, with bitcoin bouncing from a 1 1/2-month low of $40,193 to trade just shy of $43,000.

@everyone Monday, September 20, 2021 Futures Up/Down % Last Dow -529.00 1.54% 33,933 S&P 500 -56.75 1.28% 4,365 Nasdaq -154.00 1.00% 15,172 U.S. indices are trading down over 1% in pre-market trading and touching their lowest levels in almost 2 months this morning as large Chinese real estate developer Evergrande’s debt crisis is weighing on Asian markets and several macroeconomic factors are making investors wary. The Federal Reserve’s two-day September meeting begins tomorrow where they may lay out plans to begin tapering bond purchases and its quarterly dot plot will provide a forecast on when the central bankers expect to hike interest rates from their current levels of 0-0.25%. Additionally, the federal government is currently facing the threat of running out of money October 1 unless Congress raises the debt ceiling, and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal over the weekend imploring Congress to raise it as the Treasury will exhaust its cash reserves and borrowing capacity sometime next month if no action is taken. Today’s move lower comes after the S&P closed below its 50-day moving average for the 1st time since June 18th on Friday with materials and technology companies struggling. Late Friday, an FDA panel decided not to recommend a booster for the Pfizer vaccine for people 16 years and older by a vote of 16-3 saying there was not enough data to determine the step-up effectiveness of the third shot. However, the panel unanimously approved a narrower vote of authorizing booster dose of Pfizer/BioNTech covid-19 vaccine at least 6 months after full vaccination for people 65 and older and those at high risk for severe disease (a narrower approval than markets were hoping for). The University of Michigan’s preliminary sentiment index edged up in August, but buying conditions for household durables, homes and motor vehicles all fell to the lowest in decades due to complaints about high prices. The dollar rose while precious metals mostly fell, as gold posted a second straight weekly drop ahead of the FOMC meeting later this week. A potential hike in corporate taxes could eat into earnings also weigh on markets, with leading Democrats seeking to raise the top tax rate on corporations to 26.5% from the current 21%. In Asian markets, the Hang Seng Index is plunging 821 points while Tokyo and Shanghai markets are closed for holiday. In Europe, the German DAX is down 367 points and the FTSE 100 is lower by 118 points. Market Closing Prices Yesterday The S&P 500 Index dropped -40.76 points, or 0.91%, to 4,432.99 The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell -166.44 points, or 0.48%, to 34,584.88 The Nasdaq Composite sunk -137.96 points, or 0.91%, to 15,043.97 The Russell 2000 Index advanced 3.96 points, or 0.18% to 2,236.87 Events Calendar for Today 10:00 AM ET NAHB Housing Market Index for Sept Earnings Calendar: Earnings Before the Open: none Earnings After the Close: $LEN Other Key Events: European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2021 Virtual Congress, 9/16-9/21 Oppenheimer Fall Healthcare Life Sciences & MedTech Summit (virtual), 9/20-9/23 Roth Capital 8th Annual Solar Symposium (virtual), 9/20-9/23 Stephen’s 11th Annual Bank Forum, in Little Rock, AR, 9/20-9/22 Macro Up/Down Last Nymex -1.49 70.33 Brent -1.29 74.05 Gold 8.10 1,759.50 EUR/USD -0.0012 1.1713 JPY/USD -0.42 109.53 10-Year Note -0.039 1.331% World News Chinese real estate developer Evergrande is facing a default on $150M in bond payments this week and officials have refused to commit any rescue cash to the country’s 2nd largest developer who currently has more than $310B in debt. Sector News Breakdown Consumer Barron’s noted the sell-off in Wynn Resorts ($WYNN) and Las Vegas Sands ($LVS) the past couple of days amid jitters that the Macau government will impose more onerous concession, or licensing, agreements when they expire next year could be setting up a buying opportunity for investors who are patient and have a bankroll to withstand the unlucky streak S. auto safety investigators have opened a new probe into 30 million vehicles built by nearly two dozen automakers with potentially defective Takata air bag inflators – Reuters Three investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board are traveling next week to Coral Gables, Florida to investigate a fatal accident in which a Tesla ($TSLA) Model 3 left the roadway and collided with a tree. NTSB officials say the investigation will focus on the operation of the vehicle and the post-crash fire that consumed the car Energy, Industrials and Materials Boeing ($BA) has been awarded a $1.62B indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for missile guidance repair.

By Alun John and Tom Westbrook HONG KONG/SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Asian stocks slumped to their lowest levels this year and the dollar hit 10-month highs on Thursday as a double-whammy of worries about global growth and an end to central bank support drove nervous investors toward safety. Commodities were also sold with oil down for a sixth straight session and at three-month lows, while growth bellwether copper fell to a two-month trough. [O/R][MET/L] MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan dropped 1.5% to its lowest level since December. S&P 500 futures fell 0.1% and Euro STOXX 50 futures were off 0.63% by midway through the Asia day. "You can't find a bull out there," said Kay Van-Petersen, a global macro strategist at Saxo Capital Markets in Singapore. He said "an accumulation of things," from the spread of the Delta virus variant to a tech crackdown in China and the impression from Federal Reserve minutes that a slowdown in asset purchases looms was enough to sink fragile sentiment in Asia. The dollar rose 0.3% to $1.1665 per euro, hitting its highest since November 2020 along with the dollar index as the greenback made 2021 peaks on the Australian and New Zealand dollars. [FRX/] Selling pressure in stock markets extended from Chinese tech shares to semiconductors and miners. The Hang Seng tech index fell 1.8% to its lowest level since its launch last year. The broader Hang Seng dropped 1.6%. (HK) Alibaba (NYSE:BABA)'s Hong Kong shares fell to a record low. Chip giant TSMC fell 2% and had Taiwan's benchmark on course for its worst session since May, while tumbling iron ore prices pushed shares in global miners BHP and Rio Tinto (NYSE:RIO) to their lowest in months. The two miners look set for their worst weekly drops since the height of pandemic panic in markets last year, even after BHP reported its best profit in almost a decade on Tuesday. "The spreading Delta variant is pushing down economic growth," said Ayako Sera, market strategist at Sumitomo Mitsui (NYSE:SMFG) Trust Bank. "But on the other hand, in the grand scheme of things, the Federal Reserve and some other central banks are starting to remove stimulus they began to deal with the pandemic ... so the balance is tilting in the direction of risk-aversion." The CBOE Volatility index, also known as Wall Street's fear gauge, jumped 3.66 points to its highest level in about a month overnight and the S&P 500 index fell 1% to a two-week low. (N) Minutes from the Fed's July meeting published on Wednesday showed officials expect they could ease stimulus this year, though there was division over recovery in the labour market and the level of risk posed by new rises in cases. "The minutes show a Fed that is pretty split on most things, but recognises that we are getting much closer to the point of tapering," wrote ING analysts in a note. Focus now shifts to the Fed's annual research conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, next week for any read about the central bank's next steps. U.S. Treasury yields held near recent lows in Asia. Benchmark 10-year notes were last at 1.2650% with growth wobbles driving demand for bonds. [US/] Oil extended losses into a sixth day on Thursday, falling to three-month lows. ANZ analysts said rising U.S. inventories had fuelled fears of weaker demand amid a spike in COVID-19 cases worldwide. [O/R] Brent crude was last down 1% at $67.54 a barrel, U.S. crude lost 1.2% to trade at $64.42 a barrel. The stronger dollar also dragged on gold, with the spot price dropping 0.55% to $1778.87.

A roundup of what to expect this week : We have a steady economic calendar this week as well as Brexit talks and the US Democratic National Convention. The Federal Reserve and European Central Bank will release the details of their July meetings. Retail results round off the second-quarter earnings season in the US, with Walmart among the top names to follow. Some big hitters in Europe too this week — Norway’s $1tn oil fund reports, while the world’s largest container shipping line, Maersk, and the world’s biggest miner, BHP, also have results out. Britain and Japan have some key data points out through the week and flash purchasing managers’ index data from the UK and Europe will be in focus on Friday. Brexit talks between Britain and the EU are set to resume in Brussels this week, but no one close to the talks is expecting dramatic moves until September when UK negotiator David Frost has said “an agreement can be reached . . .  and we will work to achieve this if we can.”
