Hang Seng Index futures closed up 1.25% at 19,841 points in the night session, 257 points higher than the previous session.Congressional Budget Office (CBO): The cost of clean energy subsidies in the inflation-proof bill is now expected to be $825 billion between 2025 and 2035, compared with an estimated cost of $270 billion between 2022 and 2031.The Federal Reserve accepted a total of $118.327 billion from 32 counterparties in fixed-rate reverse repurchase operations.The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said it was working with SpaceX and relevant authorities to confirm reports of damage to public property in the Turks and Caicos Islands.Futures traders are adjusting their bets in the Treasury market after mild inflation data and dovish comments from a Federal Reserve official. Over the past two days, the volume of open interest has changed, consistent with traders exiting short positions in two-year Treasury bonds and establishing new long positions in longer-term Treasury contracts, especially in the five-year Treasury. The shift came after consumer price inflation data released on Wednesday and comments made by Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller the next day. Data released on Wednesday showed that core price increases in December were lower than economists expected; Waller said that if the trend continues, officials may cut interest rates again in the middle of the year. Morgan Stanleys interest rate strategists suggested late Thursday that long positions could be established in Treasury bonds of this term given expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in March, but this is still a minority view. The swap market expects only a 6 basis point rate cut in March, which means there is about a 25% chance of a 25 basis point cut. “We haven’t ruled out a rate cut in March, but we do see it as more of a tail risk,” said Stephanie LaRosiliere, head of fixed income strategy at Invesco. “It doesn’t feel like the Fed needs to react so hastily.”

AUD/USD reaches 0.6920 due to upbeat Australian Trade Balance report

The AUD/USD pair has surged above 0.6920 after the Australian Bureau of Statistics announced monthly Trade Balance (Nov) data that was stronger than anticipated. The economic statistics has climbed to 13,201M from 10,500M as predicted and 12,217M as originally published.

 

Prior to the presentation of the United States Consumer Price Index (CPI) statistics, investors abstained from acquiring considerable holdings in the Australian dollar.

 

After back-to-back solid sessions, S&P500 futures are witnessing mild selling pressure, signaling investor concern ahead of the US inflation report. The US Dollar Index (DXY) continued to struggle at 103.00 amid a dull trading environment. In the meantime, 10-year US Treasury yields have recovered and soared past 3.56 percent.

 

Analysts at RBC Economics forecast a dramatic decrease in annual U.S. consumer price increase in December, from 7.1% in November to 6.3%. The enormous fall in energy prices is partially responsible for the abrupt decline in price rise. In December, they estimate 'core' (excluding food and energy products) price growth to decrease to 5.6% YoY from 6.0% in October.

 

In the preceding two weeks, the US Dollar Index has been battered, and only an unexpected jump in inflation data could give a buffer for the future. In a broader sense, Wells Fargo analysts estimate that inflation will fall to 2.2% YoY by the end of the year.

 

The Australian Dollar will undergo volatility with the announcement of China's CPI numbers. According to forecasts, annual CPI (Dec) is predicted to grow to 1.8% from the previous report of 1.6%. While the monthly result may fall by 0.1% compared to the prior statement of -0.2%, the previous figure was -0.2%. In addition, the Producer Price Index (PPI) may drop by 0.1%.
