Japans 30-year government bond yield rose to 2.63%, the highest level since April 2006.On March 17, Morgan Stanley published a report, indicating that according to the full-year performance of 2024, the earnings forecast of Haifeng International (01308.HK) was adjusted, and the earnings per share forecast for 2025 was raised by 2%, the earnings per share forecast for 2026 was raised by 6%, and the earnings per share forecast for 2027 was introduced to 19 US cents. The bank believes that further earnings revisions in the downward cycle of container shipping from 2025 to 2026 will put pressure on Haifeng Internationals valuation. Therefore, the bull market-benchmark-bear market target price-earnings ratios were adjusted from 14 times, 11 times and 7 times to 12 times, 9.5 times and 6.0 times, respectively. The baseline scenario valuation multiples are basically in line with the historical average since 2011, taking into account the potential special dividends from 2025 to 2026, while the bull market scenario valuation falls within a standard deviation range. Based on this, the bank lowered the weighted target price of Haifeng International from the previous HK$21.3 to HK$18.8, and the rating was "in line with the market".On March 17, US President Trump said he had no intention of exempting steel and aluminum tariffs, and said reciprocal tariffs and industry tariffs would be implemented on April 2. Trump told reporters on Air Force One that reciprocal tariffs on US trading partners would be implemented together with automobile tariffs.March 17th, Deutsche Bank Research is optimistic about European stocks, both from a relative and absolute perspective. The banks strategists have noted the progress of Germanys multi-billion dollar infrastructure and climate funds and increased defense spending, and expect the positive momentum in European stocks to continue. The German MDAX index, which has outperformed the U.S. stock market in the past few weeks, remains its favorite index. Strategists believe that U.S. import taxes are the main source of uncertainty in the coming weeks, and the increasing likelihood of a slowdown in the U.S. economy due to tariff increases is the main risk to the absolute upside of European stocks. While they believe that the Ukrainian ceasefire is the most unpredictable catalyst, they add that if a credible ceasefire is achieved, it will reduce the expected risks of European stocks and attract U.S. investors.On March 17, the median estimate of six economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal showed that Malaysias export growth may accelerate in February. Exports are expected to rise 6.9% year-on-year from 0.3% in January, while imports may increase 9.6%, with a trade surplus of 9.25 billion ringgit. Kenanga IB economist Muhammad Saifuddin Sapuan said the export growth may be due to a low base last year, increased demand from major trading partners, and early shipments before the deadline for reciprocal tariffs by US President Trump.

Large Growth/Tech Stocks Drive Friday's Drop

Big tech/growth stocks were what drove down US equity markets on Friday. Companies including Apple (-1.3%), Microsoft (-1.4%), Alphabet (-2.3%), Amazon (-2.9%), Tesla (-2.7%), and Meta Platforms (-3.7%) all suffered amid a strong increase in long-term US government yields. The latest rally in US yields was attributed to a jump in German producer price inflation in July to new record highs and recent hawkish remarks from Fed policymakers. As a result, the US 10-year yield climbed to its highest levels in almost a month at just under 3.0%, nearly 50 basis points higher than earlier monthly lows.


Whatever the reason for the increase in US bond yields, it means that owning growth stocks—whose values are based disproportionately on expectations for future profits growth than actual earnings—now has a higher opportunity cost. Unsurprisingly, the Nasdaq 100, which is highly weighted toward big technology and growth stocks, had the poorest performance on Friday, down 2.0%.


That brought its losses for the week to slightly over 2.4%. While the S&P 500 is still comfortably above 4,200, it lost around 1.2% on Friday, bringing its weekly losses to about 1.1%. With Friday's decline, both indices are likely to end their four-week gain streak. The Dow, on the other hand, fell by slightly more than 0.7% on Friday and was still trading level for the week.


In terms of the S&P 500 GICS sectors, Energy (+0.5%), Utilities (+0.2%), and Healthcare (+0.7%) increased, while Consumer Staples remained unchanged and the other seven all decreased, with Consumer Discretionary stocks leading the way with a 2.0% fall.


DE Falling on Weak Earnings, GM Reinstating Dividends, and Cohen Selling Shares Dropping BBBY 40%


Regarding specific stock news, after the business reported lower-than-expected earnings per share for the previous quarter, citing persistent supply chain issues, Deere's share price fell as much as 4.0% intraday before rising. Following General Motors' announcement that it would resume the quarterly dividend payments that had been suspended in 2020, the company's stock price increased by almost 2.0%.


Following the revelation that billionaire investor Ryan Cohen had sold his shares in the struggling business and made a $60 million profit, Bed Bath & Beyond's share price fell by over 40% on Friday.


The last price of BBBY stock was just under $12. BBBY had previously reached weekly highs of $30 and had increased by roughly 500% month-over-month. Recent price movement has been compared to the meme stock mania of early 2021.


The revelation that DoorDash had ended its grocery deal with Walmart, whose shares were last down slightly more than 1.0% on the day, caused it to drop 3.0% on Friday.
