- Asian shares stumbled on Friday and gold jumped amid rising doubts that a highly anticipated meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping this weekend could lead to an easing of trade tensions. U.S. President Donald Trump arrives at the G20 leaders summit in Osaka, Japan, June 28, 2019. Uncertainty over whether the talks will produce progress in ending the year-long trade war between the world’s two largest economies comes amid signs of rising risks to global growth. Regardless of the outcome, McKenna said, “we will not be in a holding pattern on Monday morning.” White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said on Thursday that Trump had agreed to no preconditions for the meeting, set to take place on Saturday at the G20 summit in Japan, and is maintaining his threat to impose new tariffs on Chinese goods. Kudlow also dismissed a Wall Street Journal report that China was insisting on lifting sanctions on Chinese telecom equipment giant Huawei Technologies Co Ltd [HWT.UL] as part of a trade deal and that the Trump administration had tentatively agreed to delay new tariffs on Chinese goods. On Thursday, China’s central bank pledged to support a slowing economy as global risks rise, ahead of the release of data that is expected to show China’s factory activity shrank for a second consecutive month in June. The losses followed gains in global equity markets overnight. U.S S&P 500 e-mini stock futures ESc1 wavered on Friday, trimming early gains to trade up just 0.05%. Seema Shah, global investment strategist at Principal Global Investors, said even if signs of progress emerge on trade, investors would quickly move on to U.S. interest rate policy.
- The dollar trod water early on Friday as investors awaited a crucial meeting between the leaders of the United States and China at a Group of 20 summit over the weekend for any signs of progress to end their heated trade war. The mood improved the previous day after the South China Morning Post said Washington and Beijing were laying out an agreement that would help avert the next round of tariffs on an additional $300 billion of Chinese imports. Negotiations between the world's two largest economies have been fraught, so traders and analysts caution that a resolution at the G20 summit is far from certain. Yet, markets seem to cling on to hopes of progress in a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G20 in the western Japanese city of Osaka That was reflected in an easing of risk aversion as U.S. stocks gained and Treasury yields shifted lower. The United States and China have already imposed tariffs of up to 25% on hundreds of billions of dollars of each other's goods in a dispute about China's trade practices that has lasted nearly a year. The drawn out trade war has slowed global growth and pushed many central banks toward cutting interest rates to support their economies. Any sign the trade war will come to an end would be a significant boost for the global economic outlook. However, analysts say sentiment on the single currency remains weak due to speculation the European Central Bank will ease monetary policy. Any weakness in June inflation data for the euro zone, set for release later on Friday, would support the argument for monetary easing. In May, core inflation decelerated sharply. Investor sentiment improved somewhat after the South China Morning Post reported yesterday that China and the U.S. have agreed to a truce ahead of the meeting, while The Wall Street Journal reported that Chinese leader Xi Jinping is expected to present U.S. President Donald Trump with a list of demands, including lifting the ban on U.S. companies selling to Huawei. Meanwhile, CNBC reported U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer told Chinese Premier Liu He in a phone call that balance will not happen, citing various violations of intellectual property in the past. Trump is set to hold the much-anticipated trade talks with Xi at 11:30 AM ET on Saturday. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar was also little changed as jobless claims came in higher than expected. Initial jobless claims rose 10,000 to a seasonally adjusted 227,000 for the week ending June 22, the Labor Department said. Economists were looking for a smaller rise to 220,000.
- Oil prices eased on Friday in a cautious market, as traders eyed a scheduled meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G20 summit and next week’s OPEC meeting. The leaders of the G20 countries meet on Friday and Saturday in Osaka, Japan, but the most anticipated meeting is between Trump and Xi on Saturday. A trade dispute between the world’s two biggest economies has weighed on oil prices, fanning fears that slowing economic growth could dent demand for the commodity. Trump said on Wednesday a trade deal with Chinese President Xi was possible this weekend but he is prepared to impose U.S. tariffs on most remaining Chinese imports should the two countries disagree. “Even if U.S.-China trade talks turn positive, we think OPEC will extend the current production cuts until the end of the year. However, deeper cuts look unlikely, given the rising supply issues,” ANZ said. The OPEC and some non-members including Russia, known as OPEC+, will hold meetings on July 1-2 in Vienna to decide whether to extend their supply cuts. OPEC+ members agreed to curb oil output by 1.2 million barrels per day from Jan.1 Russian President Vladimir Putin said in an interview with the Financial Times on Thursday that the OPEC-led supply cut helped stabilize oil markets and the future of the output deal was expected to be on the agenda at the G20 summit. Tensions between the United Sates and Iran have also been keeping markets on edge A week after U.S. President Donald Trump called off air strikes on Iran at the last minute, the prospect that Tehran could soon violate its nuclear commitments has created additional diplomatic urgency to find a way out of the crisis.
