Shenzhen Stock Exchange: The list of securities eligible for the Hong Kong Stock Connect has been adjusted, with Naxin Microelectronics added and Wanguo Gold Group (old) removed, effective January 5.A chart summarizing the price trends of international spot platinum and palladium around New Years Day.The yield on Japans two-year government bonds rose 2.5 basis points to 1.195%.On January 5th, CICC pointed out that the RMBs appreciation against the US dollar has accelerated recently, driven by rising expectations of a Fed rate cut and the peak year-end foreign exchange settlement period in China. Under Trumps "Great Reset," with US monetary policy aligned with fiscal policy, it is believed that dollar liquidity will remain abundant, and the dollar is likely to be in a depreciation channel. In this situation, the motivation for previously accumulated foreign exchange reserves to be settled may support the RMB. A weak dollar is driving a global economic recovery, boosting domestic export growth and profits. Global monetary policy and liquidity are trending towards easing, pushing up the valuations of A-shares and Hong Kong stocks. At the same time, global funds are flowing more towards emerging markets with higher growth elasticity in search of higher returns. Catalyzed by a weak dollar and domestic policies, CICC believes that more overseas and long-term funds entering the market are expected to boost A-shares from the funding side. Structurally, the "new economy," represented by technology and overseas expansion, is expected to continue to perform well in terms of fundamentals and returns. Furthermore, driven by expanding domestic demand, anti-involution measures, and overseas demand, domestic corporate profits may improve, leading to a rebound in domestic demand sectors such as consumption.Both WTI and Brent crude oil prices reversed their earlier losses of over 1% and are now trading at $57.4 per barrel and $60.71 per barrel, respectively.

The NZD/USD exchange rate is under pressure as investors anticipate crucial US developments

Beginning with a high of 0.6411 and a low of 0.6382, the NZD/USD exchange rate is down 0.25 percent, sliding from its previous high of 0.6411 to its previous low of 0.6382. To date, though, it has been the best-performing G10 currency month.

 

ANZ Bank analysts commented, "NZD seasonality is normally positive in December, but while it has that plus rising interest rates on its side, there are no guarantees that it will emerge undamaged from this week's several central bank meetings."

 

The Federal Open Market Committee is due to meet this week, and market participants anticipate a hawkish result. The US producer price index for November was somewhat higher than anticipated, bolstering the case for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates in the future, albeit at a slower rate.

 

TD Securities analysts estimate that the FOMC will raise rates by 50 basis points at its meeting in December, putting the target range for the Fed funds rate to 4.25 percent to 4.50 percent. "By doing so, the Committee's inflation-adjusted monetary policy stance would move into the restrictive zone. In September, we think that the FOMC will indicate that they will have to shift to a higher-than-expected terminal rate.

 

ANZ Bank analysts stated, "Our key concern is what this may do to the USD, which has been under pressure as the "pivot" narrative has gained traction amid signs of ongoing US inflation."

 

"NZ variables will also play a role, with the HYEFU and GDP due this week," but they are likely to be overwhelmed (again!) by volatility and the global climate.

 

In other news, the US consumer inflation report on Tuesday will set the tone for markets prior to the Federal Reserve meeting. Economists forecast a fall in core inflation to 6.1% in November from 6.3% in October.
