By Peter Nurse Investing.com -- U.S. stocks are seen opening higher Thursday, bouncing back from the previous session's sharp selloff as investors continue to digest the Federal Reserve's policy update ahead of the release of weekly unemployment data. At 07:00 ET (11:00 GMT), the Dow Futures contract was up 40 points or 0.1%, S&P 500 Futures traded 17 points or 0.4% higher, and Nasdaq 100 Futures climbed 125 points or 1%. The main averages closed with hefty losses on Wednesday, with the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average dropping over 500 points, following the conclusion of the latest Federal Reserve policy-setting meeting, which resulted in a hike to the funds rate of 25 basis points. While this increase was largely expected, Chair Jerome Powell also reiterated the central bank's commitment to reining in inflation even while hinting that the policymakers had considered pausing future increases in view of recent turmoil in the financial sector. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen did little to boost sentiment when she said the U.S. authorities were not considering "blanket insurance" for banking deposits across the sector. Investors are looking to take advantage of the battered valuations in early trade Thursday, but worries persist that the Fed's numerous interest rate hikes to combat inflation, coupled with the turmoil in the banking sector, could tip the economy into recession. New home sales data are due for release later Thursday, but more attention will be paid to the weekly initial jobless claims at 08:30 ET (12:30 GMT), for clues about the strength of the labor market. Analysts expect a reading of 197,000, which would be slightly up from the previous week. In corporate news, the banking sector will remain in the spotlight, with the likes of First Republic Bank (NYSE:FRC), PacWest Bancorp (NASDAQ:PACW), and Western Alliance (NYSE:WAL) trading higher premarket after the recent selloff. Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) stock fell over 11% premarket after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission threatened to sue the crypto exchange over some of its products. Earnings are scheduled from Olive Garden owner Darden Restaurants (NYSE:DRI) as well as processed foods giant General Mills (NYSE:GIS). Oil prices fell Thursday, snapping a three-day advance, after the Fed hiked interest rates while U.S. crude oil stocks grew again, rising for 12 out of the last 13 weeks. Data from the Energy Information Administration showed that U.S. crude oil inventories grew by just over 1 million barrels, climbing to the highest level since May 2021. By 07:00 ET, U.S. crude futures traded 0.9% lower at $70.27 a barrel, while the Brent contract dropped 0.7% to $76.15. Both crude benchmarks settled on Wednesday at their highest close since March 14 after the dollar slid to a six-week low. Additionally, gold futures rose 1.6% to $1,980.65/oz, while EUR/USD traded 0.2% higher at 1.0877.

By Ankur Banerjee SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Asian shares spiked on Thursday and the dollar slid after the U.S. Federal Reserve hinted it could pause interest rate rises following turmoil in the banking sector, though it also reiterated its commitment to fighting sticky inflation. In a widely expected move, the Fed raised interest rates by 25 basis points, but it recast its outlook to a more cautious stance as a result of the banking stress. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 1% to touch a two-week high of 515.62. The index was on track for its best week in more than two months. Focus now shifts to the Bank of England, with investors expecting a quarter-percentage-point increase in its policy rate after a surprise jump in inflation squashed hopes of the central bank pausing its tightening campaign. Asia's rally looked unlikely to spread to Europe, where futures were pointing to a lower open. Eurostoxx 50 futures were down 0.53%, German DAX futures 0.32% and FTSE futures 0.29%. Wall Street ended sharply lower overnight as investors digested the Fed's policy statement and comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell's press conference. E-mini futures for the S&P 500 rose 0.54%. The Fed's statement suggested it was on the verge of pausing interest rate rises, but Powell in his press conference said the central bank would do "enough" to tame inflation, and he raised the possibility of further increasing rates if necessary. Management of Silicon Valley Bank had "failed badly", but the bank's collapse this month did not indicate wider weaknesses in the banking system, Powell said. But sentiment was damaged by a comment from U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who told lawmakers that she had not considered or discussed creating "blanket insurance" for U.S. banking deposits without approval by Congress. "Despite seeming to rule out rate cuts this year ... much of the damage seems to have come from Yellen's parallel remarks to Congress right when Jerome Powell was insisting that the banking sector was sound," ING economist Rob Carnell wrote in a note to clients. "This won't be the final word on either rates or deposit insurance in all likelihood, and a little further homework and collaboration between Fed and Treasury Dept seems probable." Markets are now pricing in an approximately 65% chance of the Fed pausing in its next meeting, in May, and a 35% chance of a 25 bps rise then, the CME FedWatch tool showed. In Asia, Japan's Nikkei fell 0.22%, while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index lost 0.61%. China's blue-chip CSI 300 Index rose 0.6%, and the Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.8%. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index jumped 1.5%. Global markets have been volatile, with bank shares battered in the past two weeks following the sudden failures of two U.S. lenders an emergency sale of embattled Swiss banking behemoth Credit Suisse. Regulators and policymakers have scrambled globally to quell contagion risks and ease worries of a banking crisis, but investors remain wary that other small lenders may be vulnerable as credit markets tighten. In the currency market, the dollar index, which measures the dollar against other major currencies, fell nearly 0.5% to fresh seven week low of 101.92. The euro was up 0.45% at $1.0904. The yen strengthened 0.60% to 130.64 per dollar, while sterling was last trading at $1.2325, up 0.50%. The yield on 10-year Treasury notes was down 6 basis points at 3.440%, while the 30-year Treasury bond was down 3 basis points at 3.667%. The two-year U.S. Treasury yield, which typically moves in step with interest rate expectations, was down 10 basis points at 3.881%. U.S. crude fell 1% to $70.19 per barrel and Brent was at $76.04, down 0.85%.

ALL SCALPS ARE IN THE BLUE

🔹 After rejected tactical resistance at the 4060 Feb 10 low and 4089 Feb 17 gap, Powell’s hawkish comments helped the S&P 500 Index slide toward a retest of a critical confluence of chart levels surrounding 3900. 🔹 The 50-day, 100- day and 200-day moving averages all sit in that area, as does two other often cited CTA trigger levels (3-month and 6-month trend momentum). 🔹 That zone also includes the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the Oct-Feb rally, internal trend line that contained all the 2022 bear market rebounds, and 3900 chart inflection. 🔹 The latter has marked a bifurcation for the index since May of 2022, either acting as support or resistance over that period (see blue dashed line). 🔹 From a pattern perspective, the choppy nature of the advance from the 3491 Oct 2022 low and repeated failures at our favored resistance zone for the early months of 2023 in the 4100s leads us to believe that the rebound marks a counter-trend advance within an ongoing bear market. 🔹 A break below 3888-3971 support would not only validate that assessment in our view, but we suspect it can trigger an acceleration to the downside, first seeking the 3764 Dec trough and 3760 Oct 61.8% retrace.

By Scott Murdoch SYDNEY (Reuters) - Asian stocks pulled back on Tuesday as weak trade data weighed on Chinese stocks while investors awaited Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's testimony later in the day for clues on the central bank's next move on rates. Data on Tuesday showed China's exports and imports both fell sharply in January-February, reflecting a slowdown in the global economy and weak domestic demand. That pushed Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index down 0.76% and China's blue chip CSI300 Index 1.2% lower, erasing earlier gains. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan fell 0.3%, although the index is up 2.9% so far this month. Beyond China, investor focus remains on the U.S. interest rate outlook and what Powell may say. "U.S. rates are still the number one driver for the Asia region as far as absolute performance is concerned," Dan Fineman, Credit Suisse's co-head of APAC equities strategy told Reuters. "China with its two sessions is important but rates are going to matter more than what is happening on the ground here in Asia," he said referring to China's National People's Congress underway in Beijing. Yields on benchmark 10-year Treasury notes reached 3.9578%, compared with its U.S. close of 3.983% on Monday. The two-year yield, which rises with traders' expectations of higher Fed fund rates, touched 4.88% compared with a U.S. close of 4.894%. With a focus on monetary policy, Australian shares ended 0.49% higher, reversing earlier losses after the central bank raised interest rates, as expected, but tempered its hawkish outlook, which investors took as a sign the end to the policy tightening cycle make be near. That pushed the Australian dollar to a more than two-month low of $0.6690. Japan's Nikkei stock index rose 0.3%. In early European trade, the pan-region Euro Stoxx 50 futures were up 0.12%, German DAX futures rose 0.11% at and FTSE futures were 0.23% higher. U.S. stock futures, the S&P 500 e-minis, were up 0.19% at 4,060. Fed chair Powell is due to deliver his semi-annual testimony before Congress on Tuesday and Wednesday, which will be closely watched for clues regarding the extent and duration of the U.S. central bank's restrictive monetary policy aimed at curbing inflation. Futures traders are pricing in a 76% probability the Fed will raise rates by 25 basis points at its March 21 to 22 meeting and a 24% likelihood of a 50 bp increase. The U.S. February employment report is expected on Friday and any softening in the robust jobs market will be seen as a sign that the Fed's rate hikes are having their desired effect. "In the next couple of days the congressional testimony will be critical for markets. Investors have repriced what they think the Fed will do with interest rates in March and into the second quarter," said Tai Hui, JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) Asset Management's chief Asian market strategist. Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) chief executive Brian Moynihan on Tuesday told a Sydney business summit that the bank predicted the U.S economy would reach a technical recession later this year before the central bank begins cutting rates in 2024. "It's a very slight recession in the scheme of things. I don't think you'll see a deep recession," he said. "In our view that is based on a corporate side or a commercial side slowdown, not a consumer side slowdown." In Asian trading, the dollar rose 0.05% against the yen to 135.99, weaker than its year-high of 137.10 reached last week. The euro was up 0.1% on the day at $1.0684, having gained 1.02% in a month, while the dollar index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of major currencies, was down at 104.23. U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude ticked up 0.27% to $80.68 a barrel. Brent crude was higher at $86.43 per barrel. Gold was slightly higher. Spot gold was traded at $1848.56 per ounce.

_"(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor Plus) - Roma, 06 feb - La Borsa di Tokyo chiude in rialzo trainata dal repentino indebolimento dello yen contro dollaro e si e' mossa in controtendenza rispetto alle altre principali piazze asiatiche. L'indice Nikkei dei 225 titoli guida alla chiusura delle contrattazioni ha fatto segnare 27.693,65 punti, in rialzo dello 0,67% mentre l'indice Topix del listino principale ha guadagnato lo 0,45% a 1.979,22 punti. A spingere il movimento ribassista dello yen contro il biglietto verde e' stata un'indiscrezione del quotidiano economico Nikkei, secondo la quale il governo avrebbe individuato nel Vice Governatore della Boj, Masayoshi Amamiya, il futuro numero uno della banca centrale dal prossimo mese di aprile, in sostituzione del governatore uscente, Haruhiko Kuroda. Il governo avrebbe espresso a Amamiya il desiderio di una prosecuzione della politica monetaria accomodante che la Boj porta avanti da oltre dieci anni. Amamiya, 67 anni, e' considerato come il principale stratega della politica monetaria ultraespansiva della Banca centrale nipponica. L'apprezzamento del dollaro contro yen e' un elemento che premia i titoli delle grandi blue chip nipponiche esportatrici. Il dollaro scambia in Giappone a 131,79 yen contro 131,19 yen del finale di venerdi'. Tra i titoli, in evidenza il comparto dell'auto con apprezzamenti di oltre l'1% per Toyota, Honda e Nissan."_

By Julie Zhu (Reuters) - Asian shares edged down and bonds nursed small losses on Tuesday as investors braced for an eventful week that will include central bank meetings, a slew of earnings reports and key U.S. economic data. Investors broadly expect the U.S. Federal Reserve to raise interest rates by 25 basis points (bps) on Wednesday. Interest rate announcements are due on Thursday from both the Bank of England and the European Central Bank - and both are expected to hike rates by 50 bps. Meanwhile, more than 100 S&P 500 companies, including Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL), are expected to report results this week, which also will see the publication of closely watched U.S. employment numbers. "It's a big week for both central banks and U.S. equities, with ... some of the household names due to make earnings announcements that will provide a micro overview of the macro economy," ANZ analysts said in a note. "We expect a 25 bps (U.S.) rate rise and anticipate that the Fed will caution against an early pause in the tightening cycle .... Risk appetite could be vulnerable to a correction." European markets were set for a lower open, with pan-region Euro Stoxx 50 futures down 0.48%, German DAX futures falling 0.47% and FTSE futures dropping 0.29%. U.S. stock futures, the S&P 500 e-minis, were down 0.06%. In Asia, MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was 1.1% lower. The index is up 9.9% so far this month and is on course for its best January performance since 2012. Japan's Nikkei stock index slid 0.23% while Australian shares were down 0.15%. China's economic activity swung back to growth in January, after a wave of COVID-19 infections passed through the country faster than expected following abandonment of pandemic controls. The official purchasing managers' index, which measures manufacturing activity, rose to 50.1 from 47.0 in December. Investors remained cautious, however, looking for more signs of recovery in the pandemic-hit economy. China's blue-chip CSI300 index was down 1% in afternoon trade after reaching a half-year high on Monday. While Hong Kong's Hang Seng index dropped 1.23% on Tuesday, it was still set to post its best January performance since 1989. On Monday, U.S. stocks lost ground, with the major indexes sinking, weighed down by declines in technology and other giant corporations' shares. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.8% to 33,717.09, the S&P 500 lost 1.3% to 4,017.77 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 2.0% to 11,393.81. Despite Monday's declines, the S&P 500 remained on track to post its biggest January gain since 2019. At the end of the Fed's two-day policy meeting on Wednesday, investors will be glued to Chair Jerome Powell's news conference for clues on whether the rate-hiking cycle may be coming to a close, and for signs of how long rates could stay elevated. Markets will also grapple with a flood of U.S. economic data, culminating in Friday's payrolls report for January. Investors see signs of weakening in the labour market as a key factor in bringing down high inflation. U.S. Treasury yields remained firm ahead of the central bank meetings and economic data, with the yield on benchmark 10-year Treasury notes US10YT=RR standing at 3.5457% compared with its U.S. close of 3.551% on Monday. The two-year yield, which rises with traders' expectations of higher Fed fund rates, touched 4.2424% compared with a U.S. close of 4.261%. In currencies, the U.S. dollar, which was poised for its fourth month of declines, was slightly up at 102.29 against a basket of other major currencies. The European single currency was largely unchanged on the day at $1.0841, having gained 1.3% in a month. In the energy market, oil prices fell ahead of the expected hikes by central banks and signals of strong Russian exports. U.S. crude dipped 0.44% to $77.56 a barrel. Brent crude fell to $84.85 per barrel. Gold was slightly lower. Spot gold was traded at $1920.84 per ounce.

By Ambar Warrick Investing.com-- Asian stocks fell on Monday, extending losses from last week as concerns over rising interest rates and a potential recession in 2023 weighed on sentiment, with uncertainty over China’s economic reopening also denting regional markets. Japan’s Nikkei 225 was among the worst performers for the day, losing 1.1% amid renewed speculation that the Bank of Japan (BoJ) could tighten its ultra-loose monetary policy. Media reports said that the Japanese government is considering the revision of the BoJ’s inflation target, a move that could eventually see the central bank raise rates from record-low levels. Focus is also on the BoJ’s meeting on Tuesday, where it is expected to maintain its benchmark rate. But markets will be watching for any potential changes to the bank’s tone. China’s blue-chip Shanghai Shenzhen CSI 300 index fell 1.3%, while the Shanghai Composite index fell 1.6% as rising COVID-19 infections in the country offset commitments from the government to shore up economic growth. The country is facing an unprecedented spike in COVID-19 cases after it scaled back several lockdown measures earlier this month, which markets fear could delay a broader reopening in the country. A survey also showed that Chinese business confidence was at its lowest level in nearly a decade, as the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted deepening cracks in the country’s economy. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index and the Taiwan Weighted index, which are both heavily exposed to Chinese markets, sank 0.6% each. Broader Asian stocks fell after hawkish signals from several major central banks last week drove up concerns that rising interest rates and high inflation could trigger a recession in 2023. Hawkish signals from the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank rattled markets which are already reeling from a sharp increase in borrowing costs this year. While both central banks signaled rates will rise at a slower pace, they are likely to peak at higher-than-expected levels. South Korea’s KOSPI index fell slightly lesser than its peers, losing about 0.4% after the government signaled that an economic slump in the country will likely bottom out by mid-2023. This, coupled with an eventual recovery in China, could see the east Asian economy recover sharply by 2024. Indian stocks bucked the trend, as investors bought into markets reeling from two consecutive weeks of losses. The Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex 30 indexes added about 0.5% each. A strong economic growth outlook for India buoyed the country’s stock market this year, with two benchmark indexes hitting record highs in November.

By Tom Westbrook SINGAPORE (Reuters) -Asian stocks advanced on Wednesday, bonds were firm and the dollar nursed losses after data showed U.S. consumer prices barely rose in November, stoking hopes inflation has peaked and interest rate increases will slow and eventually stop in 2023. Nervousness about policymakers' next moves, though, kept the mood in check ahead of a Federal Reserve meeting later in the day and central bank meetings in Britain and Europe on Thursday. Investors are also turning watchful on the global economy, despite China's reopening from tight COVID restrictions. The U.S. consumer price index increased 0.1% last month, 0.2 percentage points slower than economists expected, and in the 12 months through November, headline CPI climbed 7.1% - its slowest pace in about a year. European markets were set for a higher open with pan-region Euro Stoxx 50 futures up 0.15%, German DAX futures flat and FTSE futures rising 0.05%. U.S. stock futures, the S&P 500 e-minis, meanwhile, advanced 0.35%. In Asia, MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 1%. The index is up 1.2% so far this month. Japan's Nikkei was up 0.78% while Australian shares advanced 0.67%. China and Hong Kong stocks also jumped on Wednesday as easing COVID-19 curbs and refocus on economic growth underpinned sentiment. China's blue-chip CSI 300 Index rose 0.3% while the Hang Seng Index climbed 0.89%. "If CPI comes off and China fully reopens, that's still not really enough to go gung-ho in Asia markets, because we're facing a scenario where the more developed markets, the major markets are facing a recessionary environment in 2023," said Sat Duhra, Portfolio Manager on Janus Henderson Investors’ Asia ex Japan Equity Team. "There will be some upside from China reopening, but I think it's not enough to offset the negatives." Overnight Wall Street surged, before paring gains to leave the S&P 500 up 0.7% at the close. The index was up nearly 2.8% at one stage, while the Nasdaq rose as much as 3.8% before closing 1% higher. The dollar, which is falling from 20-year highs as U.S. interest rate expectations retreat, dropped broadly and sharply, while bonds rallied. The yield on benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasuries fell 11 basis points overnight and was steady at 3.4956% in afternoon Asia trade. Two-year yields, which track short-term interest rate expectations, touched 4.2053% compared with a U.S. close of 4.229%. [US/] The U.S. dollar fell 1.5% against the yen after the inflation data and was steady at 135.37 yen in Asia. The U.S. dollar index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of currencies of other major trading partners, fell to a six-month low of 103.57, before steadying at 104.04. It is down more than 9% from a two-decade high made in September. [FRX/] FED AHEAD Futures pricing shows markets expect the Fed will slow the pace of hikes, but still raise its Funds rate target range by 50 bps to between 4.25% and 4.5% later on Thursday. Much of the focus then falls on the "dot plot" chart of committee members projections about future rate movements, and the tone chairman Jerome Powell strikes in his press conference. "There are now clear signs that inflation is softening, but it is still at elevated level," said Tareck Horchani, head of dealing, Prime Brokerage, at Maybank Securities in Singapore. "The market wants to know if the Fed will change their stance on the dot plot," he said, with the median projection in September being for a peak in the Fed funds rate of around 4.6% next year. Oil was carried 1% higher with the broader mood, before trimming gains a bit in Asia with Brent futures last at $80.35 a barrel and U.S. crude at $75.12 a barrel. Bitcoin got a bounce overnight, but was unable to hold onto gains above $18,000. Cryptocurrency markets have been unmoved, but transfixed, by the arrest of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, who was accused by U.S. prosecutors on Tuesday of misappropriating billions of dollars in customer funds from the cryptocurrency exchange.

Hi happychappy, as per the module of the trend trading.. it is better to use the trend trading tactic in higher timeframes say H4 and above even though lower timeframes can be used. first you need to see a trend, for that higher High formation should be there. if you see a pivot point formed higher than the previous one, along with trend indicator showing blue and also trend monitor indicator showing bright blue it is an ideal entry point and vice versa for short option. please note the higher or lower pivot formation should be at the first higher High or lower low to catch the begining of the trend. and always have higher and lower timeframes into context during analysis as well as entry. quite difficult in the beginning, once you get the hang of it, it will become a great skill for you. - good luck..

By Stella Qiu SYDNEY (Reuters) - Asian shares tracked Wall Street higher on Friday amid hopes that China's economy would pick up pace as COVID-19 curbs ease, although caution ahead of a week full of risk events, including the Federal Reserve's policy meeting, could cap sentiment. The U.S. dollar extended declines for the third straight day, retreating on the Japanese yen, euro and sterling. The optimism in share markets looks set to extend to Europe, with the pan-region Euro Stoxx 50 futures 0.4% higher. S&P 500 futures rose 0.2%, while Nasdaq futures increased 0.3%. In Asia, MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 1.1%, edging closer to a three-month high hit earlier in the week. For the week, it was also set to rise 1.1%. Japan's Nikkei surged 1.2%. China's Premier Li Keqiang, in comments carried by state media, said on Thursday the country's shift in COVID policy would allow the economy to pick up pace, a day after a top-level party meeting pledged to focus on stabilising growth while optimising pandemic measures. Investors are piling back into battered Chinese shares even though many economists warn a recovery could be long and bumpy, with the risk of sharp surge in new infections. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index advanced 1.6%, with mainland developers up a whopping 7.3%. Chinese blue chips, however, saw more subdued gains. Commodity prices also rallied, with prices for iron ore surging 4.5% on Friday to the highest in six months amid hopes of improved demand from China. Analysts at Nomura expect 2023 to be a year of outperformance for Asia - with a return of 12% by the end of 2023, although the first quarter could be choppy as weak economic data and Fed's late cycle hikes lead to softer sentiment. "We turn even more optimistic on AeJ stocks (Asia excluding Japan) and expect a far better 2023, driven by China's reopening/recovery push and as the Fed approaches the end of its tightening cycle in the months ahead." NEXT WEEK IN FOCUS Apart from China optimism, investors are focused on U.S. producer price inflation figures later in the day for more signs about the health of the U.S. economy, after data overnight showed some loosening in the labour market, with weekly jobless claims rising moderately. U.S. monthly consumer inflation data is also due next week, with economists forecasting inflation likely slowed slightly to 8.0% in November from a year earlier, compared with 8.2% in October. Futures have priced in a near-certain possibility that the Fed will slow down its rate hike to 50 basis points next week, but the target U.S. federal funds rate would have to peak around 4.9% by next May. "This slowing is not a signal that the central bank's job is nearly done...the slower pace of hikes starts a new phase of the Fed's tightening cycle," said Brian Martin, head of G3 economics at ANZ. "With inflation proving sticky and the labour market still buoyant, the risks to our 5.00% terminal view are to the topside." The Fed, the European Central Bank and the Bank of England are all set to announce interest rate decisions next week as policymakers continue to tap the brakes on economic growth through firmer rates to thwart stubbornly high inflation. The U.S. dollar slid 0.2% against a basket of major currencies on Friday, on top of a drop of 0.4% overnight. It softened 0.4% against the Japanese yen to 136.04 yen. The euro also rose 0.2% against the greenback to $1.0576, within a whisker of the five month high of $1.0594. Treasury yields resumed edging lower on Friday, after snapping a three day losing streak the day before. They fell to the lowest in three years earlier in the week on expectations of slower growth or that a recession will curb the rise in rates. The yield on benchmark 10-year Treasury notes eased 3 basis points to 3.4597%, compared with its U.S. close of 3.493%. The two-year yield touched 4.29%, down from its U.S. close of 4.312%. The yield curve remains the most inverted since the early 1980s at around -83bps, pointing towards a U.S. recession in the near future. In the oil market, prices rose after tumbling the day before amid fears a slowdown in the global economy would lead to reduced demand. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures rose 0.7% to $71.96 per barrel, while Brent crude settled at $76.72 a barrel, 0.7% higher. Gold was slightly higher. Spot gold was traded at $1796.69 per ounce.

we will see blue too

By Wayne Cole SYDNEY (Reuters) - Asian shares extended their rally on Monday as investors hoped steps to unwind pandemic restrictions in China would eventually brighten the outlook for global growth and commodity demand, nudging the dollar down against the yuan. The news helped oil prices firm as OPEC+ nations reaffirmed their output targets ahead of a European Union ban and price caps on Russian crude, which begin on Monday. [O/R] More Chinese cities announced an easing of coronavirus curbs on Sunday as Beijing tries to make its zero-COVID policy less onerous after recent unprecedented protests against restrictions. There were also reports Beijing might lower the threat classification for COVID-19, though clarity was lacking on timetables for future steps. "While the easing of some restrictions does not equate to a wholesale shift away from the dynamic COVID zero strategy just yet, it is further evidence of a shifting approach and financial markets look to be firmly focussed on the longer term outlook over the near-term hit to activity as virus cases look set to continue," said Taylor Nugent, an economist at NAB. Chinese blue chips gained 1.7%, on top of last week's 2.5% bounce, while the Hang Seng jumped 3.5%. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan added 1.7% to a three-month top, after rallying 3.7% last week. Japan's Nikkei edged up 0.1%, while South Korea eased 0.4%. EUROSTOXX 50 futures added 0.1%, while FTSE futures were flat. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures both fell 0.1%. Wall Street had lost some momentum on Friday after November's robust U.S. payrolls report challenged hopes for a less aggressive Federal Reserve, though Treasuries still ended last week with solid gains. Indeed, 10-year note yields have fallen 74 basis points since early November, effectively undoing much of the tightening of the Fed's last outsized increase in cash rates. Markets are wagering Fed rates will top out at 5% and the European Central Bank around 2.5%. "But U.S. and Euro area labour demand remain surprisingly strong, and alongside a recent easing in financial conditions, the risks are shifting toward higher-than-anticipated terminal rates for both the Fed and the ECB," warns Bruce Kasman, head of economic research at JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM). "The combination of labour market resilience with sticky wage inflation adds to the risk that the Fed will deliver a higher than 5% rate forecast at its upcoming meeting and that Chair Jerome Powell's press conference will shift to more open-ended guidance regarding any near-term ceiling on rates." DOLLAR VULNERABLE The Fed meets on Dec. 14 and the ECB the day after. Speaking on Sunday, French central bank chief Francois Villeroy de Galhau said he favoured a hike of half a point next week. Central banks in Australia, Canada and India are all expected to raise their rates at meetings this week. The steep decline in U.S. yields has taken a toll on the dollar, which fell 1.4% last week on a basket of currencies to its lowest since June. It lost 3.5% on the yen alone and last traded at 134.34, leaving October's peak of 151.94 a distant memory. The euro resumed it rise to $1.0578, having added 1.3% last week to its highest since early July. [USD/] The dollar also slipped under 7.0 yuan in offshore trade to hit the lowest in three months at 6.9677. The drop in the dollar and yields has been a boon for gold, which was up 0.5% at a four-month peak of $1,807 an ounce after rising 2.3% last week. [GOL/] Oil prices bounced after OPEC+ agreed to stick to its oil output targets at a meeting on Sunday. The Group of Seven and European Union states are due on Monday to impose a $60 per barrel price cap on Russian seaborne oil, though it was not yet clear what impact this would have on global supply and prices. Brent gained $1.67 to $87.24 a barrel, while U.S. crude rose $1.46 to $81.44 per barrel.

By Kevin Buckland TOKYO (Reuters) - Chip stocks took a beating on Thursday, sending most Asian share indexes lower, after grim signals from Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) overnight about excess inventories and sluggish demand. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar rebounded after stronger-than-expected U.S. retail sales suggested the Federal Reserve was unlikely to ease up in its battle with inflation. That fuelled concerns about the economic outlook, with the U.S. Treasury yield curve remaining deeply inverted in Tokyo trading and suggesting that investors are braced for recession. "Inflation is likely to remain elevated for some time ... because in the U.S., at least, it's services that are driving inflation, and that can have greater persistency," Salim Ramji, global head of ETFs and index investments at BlackRock (NYSE:BLK), told the Reuters Global Markets Forum on Wednesday. "(In equities) minimum volatility strategies can help investors stay invested while reducing risk," he said. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index tumbled 2.1%, with its tech stocks slipping more than 4%. Mainland Chinese shares also declined, with blue chips falling 1.1%. Japan's Nikkei lost 0.3% and South Korea's Kospi dropped 1.1%, each led by declines in heavyweight chip players. Overnight, the Philadelphia SE Semiconductor Index slumped 4.3% after Micron said it would reduce memory chip supply and make more cuts to its capital spending plan. The tech-heavy Nasdaq slumped 1.5% while the S&P 500 slid 0.8%. However, e-mini futures indicated some respite at the reopen, pointing 0.26$ higher for the Nasdaq and 0.18% higher for the S&P. For Europe, German DAX futures signaled a 0.08% rise at the start, but U.K. FTSE futures pointed down 0.25%. Investors are re-assessing the U.S. monetary policy outlook after consumer spending figures contradicted the narrative of the past week or so from cooler consumer and producer price data. Rhetoric from Fed officials on Wednesday also remained hawkish. Fed Governor Christopher Waller said there was still a ways to go on rates, while San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly told CNBC that pausing rate hikes was not yet part of the discussion. "Fed commentary, like the resilient spending numbers, gave little succour for anyone looking for an imminent pivot," with caution permeating markets as a result, Ted Nugent, an economist at National Australia Bank (OTC:NABZY), wrote in a client note. Money markets give 93% odds that the Fed will slow to a half-point rate increase on Dec. 14, with just 7% probability of another 75 basis point increase. However, traders still see the terminal rate close to 5% by next summer, up from the current policy rate of 3.75-4%. The U.S. dollar index - which measures the currency against six major counterparts - added 0.13% to 106.41, stabilizing after a slide as low as 105.30 on Tuesday following the release of producer price inflation numbers. The euro sank 0.14%, while the risk-sensitive Aussie dollar slipped 0.4%. U.S. 10-year Treasury yields recovered modestly from a six-week low at 3.671% hit overnight in Tokyo trading, last standing at about 3.71%, while the two-year yield continued to consolidate near its lowest level since Oct. 28 around 4.37%. Gold slid 0.6% to about $1,763 an ounce amid a firmer dollar. Crude oil continued to decline in Asia after settling more than a dollar lower overnight, following the resumption of Russian oil shipments via the Druzhba pipeline to Hungary and as rising COVID-19 cases in China weighed on sentiment. [O/R] Brent crude futures dropped by $1.07, or 1.2%, to $91.79 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures fell $1.21, or 1.4%, to $84.38 a barrel.
