XPEV collaborating with VW = China EV on fire !XPEV is trending up. It is Chinese in the biggest EV market on the planet. No import duties. Low-interest rates on debt and consumer auto loans here as the government is doing the opposite as the US fed. Now the collaboration with VW which has legacy excellence in manufacturing with XPEV whose forte may be technology and autonomous driving innovation. On the 2H chart, the stock price jumped fast and hard on the news catalyst. The MACD launched signals over the histogram and the Volume Price Trend screamed higher. This all spells momentum. While there is a risk of a downfall reversal and drop as they saying goes make hay while the sun shines. There may be shadows of short selling squeezing here. Time will tell. For sure being late to the party is sometimes a waste of time. The real show will be watching XPEV/ VW competing with both NIO and TSLA in China. To the victor goes the spoils. Hold on as the ride will have some bumps.

Raytheon - A Potential Earnings Pump To WatchEveryone wants to get rich quick. Because getting rich quick means you: a) Get rich b) Quick Then you can wear big ugly sunglasses, a crappy t-shirt, flipflops, sit on the beach, eat a lot of meat, drink a lot of alcohol, and be promiscuous with women. This is the modern human's dream, right? And so everyone loves to speculate on potential earnings pumps and dumps. There really is more to aim for in life. Raytheon is one of the U.S. Military Industrial Complex cornerstones and is more or less a weapons mill for the NATO proxy war in Ukraine, which is of note because of the recent escalations of the conflict and how it can affect the U.S. Petrodollar, and thus bonds, oil, gold, equities, everything. DXY - The US Petrdollar And The "Prigozhin Coup" In Russia Geopolitically, the conflict between China and the International Rules Based Order is heating up. The current edict is to "de-risk but not decouple" from China (notice they never say "from the Chinese Communist Party"?). In mid-June CEO Hayes was quoted by the propaganda machines as stating that decoupling from China was pretty much impossible because of all the parts and components that are manufactured in the mainland. What this means, if you ask me, is that going forward, certain companies are going to have a very hard time meeting their target EPS and revenue estimates. Raytheon may very well be one of them, as foreshadowed by a salvo of sanctions the Xi Jinping administration placed on them and Lockheed Martin. The situation in China is very volatile right now. The IRBO wants control of China when the CCP falls. Xi Jinping and the other nationalists want to make sure that outside forces do not steal the motherland. And so one day soon, we may find that Xi has thrown away the CCP in the middle of the U.S. night, and the markets will have themselves a series of consecutive red days like we've all never seen before. Xi can weaponize the crimes against humanity that the Party and the Jiang Zemin faction have committed in the persecution of Falun Gong that started on July 20, 1999, and use the truth to protect both himself and China. Organ harvesting and genocide of a group of 100 million spiritual cultivators with upright faith is certainly enough of a weapon to handle all the threats the motherland can be facing. So why do you care about this if you're trading Raytheon? Because a basic principle of markets is they go up when big money is selling and go down when big money is buying. Raytheon and other military companies ironically never really pumped following the QE recovery from the COVID pandemic dump. It wasn't until the Ukraine War began that Raytheon finally ran the highs. And then it retraced. That kind of retrace is actually really bullish and what bulls should want to see if they want their $145 billion~ company to become a $1.4 trillion company. But the problem with the theory is more manifest on the weekly charts: 31 weeks of ranging and no breakout is not bullish. And yet, after taking lows, it continues to recover. The most notable price swing is the $105 to $92 leg that just occurred. I feel that Raytheon has some fundamental hidden bearish divergences to it and this is why it has traded this way all along, with the ultimate purpose of selling a lot high, and then selling it all above the all time high. This hidden divergence, I think, is that U.S.-based companies may find themselves cut off from the Chinese supply chain in the very near future. Only to tip all the bulls on their backs like stranded turtles and then dump and dump and dump and dump and not come back. So I believe that with the setup at hand, the catalyst is actually the July earnings. But if you look back at previous earnings, Raytheon doesn't have major pumps. It can go a bit and then it will run after. Implied volatility on options for the July 28 expiry are only 20%, slightly higher than the 17% average. But before we get there, I expect we're going to see prices return to the $92-93 range and give the best buying opportunity. The catalyst for this, I believe, will simply be market-wide correction, which I outline in the following two posts: Nasdaq - The Great Bear Trap And SPX/ES - An Analysis Of The 'JPM Collar' In summary, there will be a shakeout in equities that will probably not be long lived, even if it's violent. And after that, things will make their final run up, many of which will set new highs or new 52W highs, etc. What's left for the remainder of 2023 and the start of 2024 doesn't look like it's going to be very pleasant, to speak frankly. So make sure if you see Raytheon at a new high, you don't go getting ahead of yourself, longing the top.

CHINA50 CN50 Short Bears Remain in ControLike Hong Kong 50(See the Idea here bearish start to the week, with hawkish central banks and growth fears continue weighing on investor sentiment ahead of a busy week. The theme remained the same, with investor jitters over the economic outlook weighing on investor sentiment. There were no economic indicators from the region to change the mood. Market Overview It was a bearish morning session for the Asian markets. The ASX 200 led the way down, with the Hang Seng and the Nikkei also struggling. The Asian equity markets tracked the US equity markets into the red, with fears of central banks sending the global economy into a recession weighing. Hawkish Fed Chair Powell testimony continued to resonate this morning. Last week’s Bank of England 50-basis point interest rate hike was a reminder of central bank commitments to tame inflation. Despite softer US private sector PMI numbers on Friday, the markets are still betting on a Fed 25-basis point interest rate hike in July. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the probability of a 25-basis point July Fed rate hike stood at 71.9% versus 74.4% one week ago. Significantly, the chances of the Fed lifting rates to 5.75% in September stood at 11.5%, up from 8.9% one week earlier. Bank stocks also had a mixed morning. HSBC Holdings PLC and The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (HK:1398) saw losses of 0.33% and 0.24%, respectively, while China Construction Bank (HK: 0939) rose by 0.40%. Strategy Bearish Short RSI confirming permanent trend continuation Bulltraps can be used to sell more and stronger Trendlines shold be used in 2 ways: bearish breakout of the trendlines should be sed to new bearish enries or position sizing only. Bullish breakouts should be used as profit taking or trading the 2nd wave only. Bullish breakouts are often traps.

TSM - Taiwan, Your Semiconductor Long HedgeAt present, the US equities markets are at a critical inflection point, especially tech. We're still in the bear side of a correction in an extremely major bull market impulse fuelled by Party Central's COVID stimulus programs, and yet flirting with all time highs. Sometimes markets top without a blow off. Nasdaq's daily chart, above, shows price raided the 16,000 psychological level and the January 2022 pivot that ended the bull market. This is really significant in and of itself, but even more significant in that the 3% rejection thus far indicates that tech *may* have truly topped already. In my recent call on NVIDIA, some people correctly criticized that I have the problem of being bearish when a stock is clearly bullish. I have thought about this quite a bit and think the criticism is fair. With NVIDIA, I believe the stock has either topped or will top before/at $500 in a coming impulse. However, if one had have just gone long on the dips from low $400s to the $480 mark, they could have financed a freeroll "Short God From The Top" dream trade with potentially huge upside. And that brings us to Taiwan Semiconductor, a company that I believe is a clear long on all time frames and has several significant advantages: 1. It's Taiwan's gemstone and thus highly relevant to the geopolitical concerns I will outline below 2. Producer of much of the world's most advanced chips 3. Market cap still under $500 billion (Thus, room to 2 or 3x in the future) 4. Is not a component of the Nasdaq, the SPX, the Dow, or the Russell, and thus can impulse long even if the equities market corrects 5. Accounts for only 3.4% of the index the SOXX/SOXL/SOXS ETFs underlie, and thus can impulse long even if the semiconductor industry corrects sharply 6. Washington is banning NVIDIA and ASML from selling to China, but never mentions TSM 7. If TSM pulls out the "AI" marketing card with a new offering, watch out for fire. In previous posts I have mentioned that the Chinese Communist Party is about to fall. While people may find that unbelievable or too good to be true, it's worth noting that when the USSR was brought down by Gorbachev and friends on Christmas Day 1992, nobody believed it was possible then either. Those of us who are old enough to remember know you woke up one day to see it all over the news and nobody knew how it would happen. Many entities are considering how to take control of China and its 5,000 year old culture, history, natural resources, and land when the Party falls. The International Rules Based Order wants China for its own reasons, and the reason "Washington" has made itself so close to Taiwan isn't because Xi Jinping intends to invade Taiwan (The CCP is too weak after so many people died from Wuhan Pneumonia), but because the IRBO intends to use The Republic of China to replace the Communist Party for its own ends. The ultimate purpose is to install genuine communism (note the CCP only still practices socialism according to its own dogma) worldwide via panopticon social credit systems and central bank digital currencies. If you want a future you and your family can live in, you want our traditions, imparted by God, and not this junk imparted by Karl Marx and the specters that belied him. I've mentioned before that Xi, an ostensible Chinese nationalist, has the option of weaponizing the 24-year persecution and organ harvesting genocide against the 100 million practitioners of the Falun Gong/Falun Dafa spiritual cultivation practice by the faction of his predecessor Jiang Zemin and the CCP in order to ensnare the IRBO and its banking cartel. However, all of the world's critical pieces (Yellen, Musk, Kissinger, Dimon) visiting Beijing "for talks" combining with a recent significant strengthening of the yuan and a potential recovery of China tech stocks indicates that the IRBO is now onside with the Xi administration. Which means that Xi may have sold out China and the future in a Faustian Pact with the IRBO in order to maintain his power, because he's too much of an idiot to throw away the CCP, return to China's 5,000 years of dynasties, and enter the future. Either way, once there's some kind of news cycle about "Taiwan" (just go look at all the war clamoring that appeared this month in The Economist et al), TSM can moon no matter what the rest of the equities market does, and counts as an excellent long hedge during catastrophe. I can only say that if you go long, especially significantly long, on anything right now, you really ought to be hedging volatility long while the VIX is maintaining a 13-handle. So here's the trade. TSM dumped some 6% on earnings under $98, which is a hell of a dip to buy. It's a dip to buy because daily price action on the way up stopped just short of the curiously-numbered $111.11 (the Chinese are extremely numerological/superstitious), which naturally makes this figure a target for a retrace It's only that on the hourly, TSM doesn't show any signs of having bottomed beyond not making a lower low on the first day. But with the biggest FOMC of the year on Wednesday, July 26 (big hike possible, next meeting not until Q3 end September 20), longing today may have been too early. But not too early by much. Arguably only 3%. The most bullish continuation for TSM would be to maintain a "higher low" formation, protecting the wick of the June low at $94.25. Upside targets are immediately $113+ (Masonry, roar?) and $130 (Masonry, rawr!) if bearish. If all things Taiwan become memefied like artificial intelligence did because of what's going on in China, then there's little to stop TSM from becoming a $1 Trillion market cap company like NVIDIA et al, which would actually mean upside over $200 is in the cards through the 2024 Presidential Election. But mankind's best laid plans are merely those of mice. This race is like bacteria and this planet is little more than a speck of dust when viewed from higher places in the enormous and boundless Cosmos we currently sit in. What the Cosmos looks at is a race, a planet, and an individual's moral standard and spiritual realm. Thus, the more calamity is on deck the more critical it is to take good care of your family and friends and use the time that we all have left before the world changes forever to make up for the things from the past that have been done wrong, when they should have been done well. Take good care of yourselves.

China is attractive for investment again! Alibaba Ticker: HKEX:9988 or NYSE:BABA Entry price: 89 HGS$ Short term target: $120 Medium term target: $171 Long term target: $205 Potential return per trade: up to 125% Volume per trade: up to 3-4% of the portfolio 🛡 It is better to hold this stock for the medium term, and use the drawdown to increase the position. ❗️Risk Level: Medium Alibaba shares have been under pressure since November 2020. During this period, the shares fell -72% from the maximum, although the company itself has not lost its profitability and still has a significant market share in the Chinese market. The Chinese government made a big contribution to the fall, which strangled the company with fines and did not allow an IPO. But now this negative has come to naught and now the road up is open for the stock 📈 According to technical analysis, the stock gives the first signals for a medium-term trend reversal. Now the paper is at the border of the long-term ascending channel. If it breaks through, we can expect a fairly fast and impulsive growth, which should not stagnate, but rather gain strength ⚡️ But if you want to find more ideas in great companies with high growth potential, welcome to the profile 🎩

Copper Conundrum: Diverging Indicators Point to More DownsideThe last time we looked at copper was last October, and the trade played out nicely in our favor. Much has happened since then and we think another opportunity lies on the horizon now. Revisiting the same analysis now we observe the following… China, being the largest copper buyer, its currency pair CNHUSD traditionally shares a high correlation with copper. However, a divergence has emerged since May 2023. Moreover, copper's wide usage in manufacturing - from batteries to appliances and industrial machinery - makes China's import and export figures a good indicator of global economic health. These figures currently paint a gloomy picture, with YOY Exports & Imports pointing lower. Again, we notice a divergence between copper prices and these economic numbers. The Gold/Copper ratio, usually confined within a certain range, has recently tried to break higher. Despite facing resistance, the movement may still have momentum. Previous breaks upward have proven to be quite rapid. One way this could play out is if copper trades lower, the Gold/Copper ratio tends to trend higher. From a price action perspective, copper seems to be breaking out from a seven-month bull flag, inching towards the 4.00 price level. However, the significant resistance at 4.00 casts doubts on the breakout's success. Further fuelling this doubt is the emergence of a Simple Moving Average (SMA) death cross on the daily timeframe. On a shorter timeframe, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests slight overselling, while the overall price structure is encapsulated in a symmetrical triangle. Summing up, we foresee short-term downside for copper due to diverging macro factors from copper’s price and a downward trend in the dollar. Moreover, price action suggests overbought levels and looming resistance. CME has the Full-sized Copper Contract or the Micro Copper Futures which we can use to express this view, taking a short position at the current level of 3.904, stop loss at 4.10 and take profit at 3.55 the next level of support and subsequently 3.30 if the symmetrical triangle breakout happens. Each $0.0005 price move in copper per pound is equal to $1.25 for the micro copper futures and $12.50 for the full-sized copper futures.

Tit-for-tat in the green arms race should tighten metal suppliesThe energy transition - the process of moving away from greenhouse gas intense energy consumption towards more renewable energy sources - presents a significant positive demand shock for the metals needed to build out grid infrastructure, distribution and transmission cabling, vehicle charging infrastructure, battery components, solar panels, and wind turbines. However, many nations who are trying to deliver on their promises to meet ‘net zero’ pledges have come to the realisation that much of the supply chain to produce the metals and the green energy components is currently far out of their jurisdiction and sphere of influence. The Covid 19 supply chain disruptions clearly highlighted vulnerabilities in the status quo. That crisis had already started the process of ‘reshoring’ or ‘onshoring’, i.e., moving more of a product supply chain closer to the consumer market. The energy transition is accelerating this trend. Inflation Reduction Act catalyses a global green arms race The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in the USA aims to spur investment in domestic green technology. The majority of the $394 billion in energy and climate funding in the IRA is in the form of tax credits with strings attached to local sourcing. While other nations and regions have had some form of domestic sourcing incentives in place, the sheer size and scale of the US approach has inspired others to double-down on their strategies. The European Union’s CRM The European Union has maintained a list of Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) since 2011. CRMs combine raw materials of high importance to the EU economy and of high risk associated with their supply. The list sharpens the focus on supply security. In 2011, the list contained 14 materials and by 2017, in its fourth iteration, the list was 30 strong. In March 2023, the European Commission proposed adding four more raw materials to the list. Aluminium has been added to the list1. In the previous iteration, bauxite – a key ingredient for aluminium production – was included, but the now the finished product of aluminium is on the list. Critical Raw Materials Act In addition to Critical Raw Materials, the Commission has defined Strategic Raw Materials (SRMs)2. Copper and Nickel are additional SRMs (although they are not CRMs). Aluminium is both a CRM and SRM. The European Commission’s Critical Raw Materials Act proposal sets hard targets for domestic capacities in SRMs by 2030: at least 10% of the EU’s annual consumption for extraction at least 40% of the EU’s annual consumption for processing at least 15% of the EU’s annual consumption for recycling no more than 65% of the EU’s annual consumption from a single third country On 30th June 2023, the European Council published its negotiating position3. It wants to raise the bar higher for processing and recycling: at least 40% 50% of the EU’s annual consumption for processing at least 15% 20% of the EU’s annual consumption for recycling The European Parliament has not yet adopted its position and the full negotiation process will likely take time. But based on the Council’s position, negotiations are likely to focus on higher rather than lower local sourcing. China flirts with new resource restrictions China said on 3rd July 2023 it would restrict exports of two metals - gallium and germanium - used in semiconductors and electric vehicles, escalating a technology war with the United States and European Union. However, rather than banning the export of the materials, the proposal is to put in place regulations for companies to obtain export licences for foreign shipments of the metal. The curbs follow USA’s blacklisting of Chinese companies in recent years, aimed at cutting them off from access to US technologies, including the most advanced chips. Our understanding is that EU and Chinese officials are locked in negotiations at the moment to keep the trade channel of these metals open. Conclusions While a slowly evolving process, last week saw several key markers for resource trade restrictions surface. While it’s understandable that many countries want to ensure resource security by controlling more of the supply chains, we believe the process of adjustment will tighten material supply especially as tit-for-tat counter policies are adopted.

Tailwinds build for Aluminium Paradoxically, aluminium was one of the worst performing base metals over the past month (22 May to 23 June 2023) despite the bauxite ore ban potentially tightening the market. In 2022, Indonesia produced some 21 million tonnes of bauxite, according to data from the US Geological Survey, making it the world’s fifth-largest producer. Almost 85 percent was exported overseas. According to data from the International Aluminium Institute, global production of primary aluminium registered a slight increase of 0.2% month-on-month in May 2023. The information portal Shanghai Metals Markets has reported that aluminium producers in the Yunnan region in China have been permitted since 17 June to ramp their operations up again after having been forced to scale them back since last autumn because electricity was rationed due to drought. However, the ongoing heatwaves in many parts of China may drive production halts back again. Aluminium futures inventory is 21% lower than 3 months ago, mainly as a result of Shanghai Futures Exchange inventory declining over that time window.

Chart Analysis When analyzing the normal trend, we observe that MDT did not reach its previous lowest point. This indicates that it has substantial volume and, additionally, when examining wallets, it appears to have the highest percentage on exchanges. Data Insights MDT continues to prioritize data security and has a rewarding system in place, which could be appealing for long-term investors, especially considering the latest developments in China. Target Levels We anticipate that this coin will soon reach new target levels, such as: $0.079 $0.13 $0.21 Breakout Potential There is a strong likelihood that this coin will experience a breakout in the near future, enabling it to maintain its previous lowest point with a higher potential for growth. Furthermore, what makes this coin particularly intriguing is its cyclical nature, which makes it attractive for long-term investments. However, always conduct your own research, as this update does not serve as trading advice.

Gold:the monetary commodity’s fate in the hands of central banksGold is arguably the most sensitive commodity to monetary policy. The metal operates more like a pseudo-currency than a regular commodity (a regular commodity’s price is driven by the balance of supply and demand, gold is driven by many of the macro determinants of currencies). After hiking rates every meeting since February 2022, the Federal Reserve (Fed) took a pause in June 2023. The central bank has lifted the upper bound of Fed Fund target rates from 0.25% to 5.25% over that timeframe, marking one of the most rapid rate hiking cycles in history. At times, the Fed was hiking in 0.75% clips. Rising interest rates were an extreme headwind for gold for most of this period. Can gold investors breathe a sigh of relief now? Is this a temporary pause, or a halt on rate hikes? Well, if Fed Fund futures are to believed, there may be one more rate hike by September 2023. If the participants of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) are to be believed, there could be several more rate hikes (with the median expectation of these participants pointing to a terminal midpoint rate of 5.625%, that is, an upper bound of 5.75%). Professional economists1 seem less sure of such decisive action, with the median looking for no change in rates this year (and cuts commencing in Q1 2024). Senior Economist to WisdomTree, Jeremy Siegel, believes the Fed is done hiking and that alternative inflation metrics, which incorporate real time housing inputs, show inflation running at 1.4% instead of the official 4.1% in May 20232. Market inflation expectations are not falling away as fast as we would expect. Judging by the 5yr5yr swaps, longer-term market inflation expectations are actually rising modestly. Higher inflation tends to be gold-price supportive (other things being equal). After hitting an all-time high in 2022, central bank demand for gold has maintained strong momentum. Official sector gold buying in Q1 2023 was the largest on record for the first quarter (albeit lower than Q3 2022 and Q4 2022). A YouGov poll, sponsored by the World Gold Council3 , showed that developing market central banks are expecting to increase their gold reserve holdings and decrease their US dollar reserve holdings. With a lack of forceful stimulus from the Chinese government, and still elevated gold prices in Renminbi terms, we expect a slowing of retail demand in China. In fact, Shanghai premiums over the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) price slowed in May and remain low in June. Looking to WisdomTree’s gold price model, we can see that bond headwinds have clearly fallen away and US dollar depreciation (relative to a year ago) is offering gold some support rather than dragging prices lower. However, investor sentiment towards the metal has moderated since March 2023, when the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and the shotgun marriage between UBS and Credit Suisse Banks was announced. With the passing of the US debt ceiling debacle, there aren’t any specific risks driving gold demand higher. However, general recession fears and the potential for unspecified financial sector hiccups are likely to keep gold demand moderately high as the metal serves well as a strategic asset in times of uncertainty.

Tesla BULLISH OUTBRAKE Tesla CEO Elon Musk expressed his intent to invest in India as soon as possible after a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New York. Modi's support and push for investments in India have encouraged Musk, who confirmed that Tesla plans to enter the Indian market but did not provide a specific timeline. Tesla's entry into India has faced delays due to negotiations with the Indian government over import duties. The government is requesting Tesla to produce cars locally before considering tax breaks. Musk had a positive meeting with Modi and is optimistic about India's future. Currently, Tesla has a gigafactory in Shanghai, China, and is considering India as a potential location for a new factory. Both China and India are actively seeking to attract investments and promote the electric vehicle (EV) industry. China recently announced the extension of tax breaks for new energy vehicles (NEVs) until 2027. During his visit to China, Musk discussed EV development and Tesla's operations in the country with government officials and praised the quality and efficiency of the Shanghai gigafactory.

WTI - BEARRISH OUTLOOKChina's crude oil stockpiles surged in May, adding 1.77 million bpd, the fastest rate in nearly three years. Strong imports and refinery processing contributed to the bullish narrative of increased fuel consumption. However, the market overlooks the potential bearish impact of stockpiling, which provides options for Chinese refiners if prices rise too high. China doesn't disclose specific figures, but an estimate suggests a surplus of 1.77 million bpd available for storage.

Central banks navigate the last stretch of the tightening cycleThis week we learnt how vital Central Bank communication is to global financial markets. The trio of central banks – The Federal Reserve (Fed), European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of Japan (BOJ) held their respective meetings. Each of the central banks tried to convey how they will navigate monetary policy amidst a slowing economy and avoid a hard landing. China takes small steps to shore up the recovery Even the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) surprised the markets this week, by announcing a cut in the 7-day Open Market Operations (OMO) by 10Bps to 1.9%1 which paved the way for another cut to the one-year medium term lending facility rate by 10Bps to 2.65%2. These recent developments mark a more proactive stance by Chinese policy makers in trying to tackle the Chinese slowdown in activity since the re-opening. Clearly more is needed. Policymakers are soliciting opinions from business leaders and economists on how to revitalise the economy in a number of urgent meetings3. While the Fed and ECB are trying to tame inflation, China has the opposite problem as inflation remains low. Manufacturing remains weak, exports are slowing, and credit growth is cooling. This is why it’s no surprise that the markets are prepping for a broader package of stimulus targeted towards the ailing property sector. A hawkish skip for the Fed The recent flurry of economic reports continues to show the US economy is holding up but losing steam, supporting the Fed’s approach of changing the pace of its policy tightening. The Fed kept the fed funds rate in range of 5-5.25%, by unanimous vote, in line with market expectations after 10 straight hikes dating back to March 2022. The Fed’s dot plot showed the median rate at 5.6% versus 5.1% a month back. In the summary of economic projections, the median unemployment rate forecast was revised lower from 4.5% to 4.1% by the end of 2023 while the core inflation rate was revised higher from 3.6% to 3.9% making the case for more hikes this year. This clearly was a hawkish skip. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell was careful to point out that no decision was made on a July hike, but he did say it is a live meeting, leading the market to increase the probability of a move. What surprised me the most, was that Powell said rate cuts would be a couple of years out which is at odds with the dot plot forecast of 100Bps of cuts in 2024. Senior Economist to WisdomTree Jeremy Siegel believes the Fed is done hiking and that alternative inflation metrics which incorporate real time housing inputs show inflation running at 1.4% instead of 4.1%. This is based on alternative shelter inflation calculations using Case Shiller Housing and Zillow rent annualized at 0.5% instead of the 8% that is biasing Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) CPI higher. ECB’s revised inflation forecasts remain at odds After raising the deposit rate by 25Bps to 3.5%, the ECB was a lot clearer than the Fed in signalling that rate hikes are almost certain next month on July 27. The ECB remains too optimistic on growth, reducing their projection for 2023 real GDP to only 0.9% (from 1% in its March projections). While I would agree with the ECB’s view that (1) mostly labour-intensive services will support economic growth over the next two years and (2) the current hump in wage inflation will show up via higher prices for these services, I remain sceptical amidst the global headwinds for manufacturing, and a slower pace of overall growth could keep inflation as high as the ECB now projects. While wages are likely to accelerate slightly above 5% in 2023, they should begin declining to 4% yoy by late 2024. We believe, if core inflation continues to recede in the coming months and the real economy grows at 0.4% in 2023, the ECB will stay put in September after a final move next month. As expected, the ECB confirmed that it will stop to reinvest proceeds from maturing bonds under its standard Asset Purchase Programme (APP) from July onwards. It won’t offer new long term liquidity injections upon the expiry of the €477Bn of a TLTRO III liquidity measure on 28 June 2023. BOJ sits tight As expected, the BOJ kept all key policy settings unchanged, including the +/-50Bps band around the zero% Japanese Government Bond JGB yield target. Since taking the helm in April 2023, BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda has stressed the high cost of premature tightening as the economy is finally seeing green shoots toward sustainable inflation. In contrast to the ECB, the BoJ's latest assessment and outlook for the economy and inflation were also largely unchanged from their update in the April Outlook Report. The BoJ continues to note "extremely high uncertainties" surrounding economies and financial markets at home and abroad." Japanese equity markets reacted positively to the BOJ’s status quo stance on monetary policy. Looking ahead, the Fed’s potential pivot back to a hawkish mode versus the BOJ’s dovish perseverance could pave the way for further upside for Japanese equities owing to the underlying weakness in the Yen versus the US dollar.
