A look at the day ahead in Asian markets from Jamie McGeever.
As investors enter something of a holding pattern ahead of key central bank policy decisions this week, China's markets are on the defensive after yet another indication that the country's economic growth engine is far from purring.may have doubled in November from a historically low level the month before, but still fell short of analysts' expectations.
The yuan fell for only the second time in two weeks, while Shanghai stocks posted their biggest decline in two weeks. Asian stocks retreated too, and have now fallen every day bar two since Nov. 24. The caution in Asia contrasts with the bright start to the week on Wall Street, where investors are betting that a benign reading of U.S. November inflation on Tuesday will ensure a 'dovish' 50 basis point rate hike from the Fed on Wednesday.
The three main U.S. indexes rose more than 1% on Monday, which should give Asian markets a shot in the arm first thing on Tuesday. In truth, however, there has been little substantive move in Fed expectations for a while - the implied U.S. terminal rate has mostly hovered within a range of 10 basis points either side of the 5.00% mark for about a month.- U.S. CPI inflation Reporting by Jamie McGeever in Orlando, Fla.; Editing by Josie Kao
