China maintains its COVID strategy; U.S. stocks decline and the dollar rises

Asia shares falls on worries over inflation, Fed outlook

After Beijing stated it was considering loosening its zero COVID-19 policy, U.S. stock futures fell in Asia on Monday, helping the dollar regain some of its losses while hurting oil and commodities.
However, over the weekend, health officials reaffirmed their dedication to the “dynamic-clearing” method to COVID instances as soon as they arise. Risk assets had gained on Friday amid rumours China was getting ready to lift its pandemic restrictions.
Despite the denial, Tapas Strickland, head of market economics for NAB, predicted that China would shift to coping with COVID in the new year given the very real impact that zero-COVID is making on the economy.
Majority of analysts believe that a shift in zero-COVID is likely until March as China enters its winter season.

Copper experienced its greatest one-day gain since 2009 on Friday, rising 7% on speculation that China would open its economy. A variety of minerals also profited from expectations of higher demand.
Additionally, it caused the yuan to soar and sparked a series of profit-taking on large dollar holdings, particularly against currencies that are sensitive to commodity prices, like the Australian dollar.
Early on Monday, some of that changed as the Australian dollar fell 0.8% to $0.6414 after rising 3% on Friday. The offshore yuan increased 0.6% against the dollar.
The U.S. dollar index recovered 0.4% after plunging over 2% at the close of the previous week. The dollar increased a little once more to 147.00 yen while the euro declined slightly to $0.9920.
Nasdaq futures sank 0.8%, while S&P 500 futures reversed course and dropped 0.7%. The largest Asia-Pacific share index outside of Japan compiled by MSCI (.MIAPJ0000PUS) increased by 0.4%.
The White House reportedly privately urging Ukraine to indicate an openness to negotiating with Russia helped to boost risk sentiment on the periphery.
Dealers were still analysing a conflicting U.S. jobs report that revealed strong improvements in the payrolls survey but softening in the less trustworthy survey data on unemployment.
Less aggressive than Chair Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve members said on Friday that they would nevertheless take into account modest interest rate hikes at their upcoming policy meeting.
At least seven Fed members are slated to appear this week, which will assist clarify the rating picture given that markets are now just leaning toward a 0.5% rate increase next month.
According to Bruce Kasman, the head of economic analysis at JPMorgan, the Fed will continue to perceive enough progress on inflation to halt at 4.75% in February. However, there is a greater likelihood that additional raises may result in a recession later in 2023 or early 2024.
Two-year rates retreated to 4.66% on Friday, pulling back from record highs dating back to 2007. This helped short-term Treasuries achieve a little advance.
When U.S. consumer pricing for October is revealed on Thursday, the market will confront a significant challenge. Any positive surprise will put to the test expectations for a Fed hike slowdown.
Median predictions showed annual CPI inflation will moderate to 8.0% and core inflation would decrease somewhat to 6.5%.
