The Day AheadMacro Data Highlights: US May New Home Sales Expectations: Potential rebound after recent housing softness. Market Impact: A strong print may bolster the view that the housing market is stabilizing despite elevated mortgage rates. Weakness could reinforce recessionary concerns and increase calls for Fed easing later in the year. Asset sensitivity: USD, US Treasuries, homebuilder stocks (e.g., DHI, LEN). Japan May PPI Services Focus: Cost pressures in the service sector. Market Impact: A rise in service PPI would support the BoJ’s inflation persistence narrative, adding weight to the case for policy normalization. Asset sensitivity: JPY, JGB yields, Japanese equities. France June Consumer Confidence Focus: Consumer resilience in the face of political uncertainty and inflation. Market Impact: With France facing election-driven volatility, a sharp drop could signal consumption headwinds for the eurozone’s second-largest economy. Asset sensitivity: EUR, CAC 40, French bond spreads. EU27 May New Car Registrations Focus: Gauge of consumer durable goods demand and manufacturing health. Market Impact: Could affect sentiment toward auto-sector equities and EU industrial momentum. Asset sensitivity: EUR, auto stocks (VW, Stellantis), DAX. Australia May CPI Critical Watch: This is the main event for the AUD and RBA rate outlook. Market Impact: A hotter-than-expected reading would raise RBA rate hike odds and could trigger AUD upside and bond sell-off. A soft print would ease policy pressure. Asset sensitivity: AUD, ASX, Australian government bonds. Central Bank Watch: Fed Chair Powell Testimony (Senate Banking Committee) Theme: Economic outlook, inflation, and the policy path. Market Impact: Markets will scrutinize language for any shift in tone regarding rate cuts. With data cooling but inflation still sticky, Powell’s balance between patience and flexibility is key. Asset sensitivity: USD, S&P 500, Fed rate futures. BoJ June Meeting Summary & Tamura Speech Focus: Clarity on BoJ's policy tightening roadmap. Market Impact: Look for signals on timing of next rate hike and QT strategy. Tamura is considered hawkish, and any comments on rate paths could strengthen JPY. Asset sensitivity: JPY crosses, Nikkei, JGBs. BoE’s Lombardelli Speech Relevance: Comes amid UK stagflation fears. Market Impact: Insight into how the BoE sees services inflation persistence and wage dynamics. Market remains torn between one last hike or holding steady. Asset sensitivity: GBP, Gilt yields, FTSE. Earnings: Micron Technology (MU) Focus: AI-driven memory chip demand, China exposure, forward guidance. Market Impact: As a bellwether for semis and AI-linked cyclicals, MU's results can sway broader tech sentiment. Asset sensitivity: NASDAQ, SOX index, NVDA/AMD peers. US Treasury Auctions: 2-Year FRN & 5-Year Note Auctions Importance: Critical given recent curve steepening and softening inflation. Market Impact: Weak demand could lift yields and support USD; strong bid-to-cover may indicate confidence in disinflation trend and support risk assets. Asset sensitivity: US Treasuries, DXY, equity risk sentiment. Overall Outlook: June 25 shapes up as a high-stakes day, especially for the USD, AUD, and JPY, with potential for meaningful moves in rates and risk assets. Powell’s tone and Australian inflation are key pivot points, while Micron’s earnings will offer a litmus test for AI/tech exuberance. Keep an eye on European political sentiment as well, especially tied to French consumer mood.

The Day Ahead Key Economic Data United States April Factory Orders: A modest increase would indicate steady demand in manufacturing, supporting a soft-landing narrative. JOLTS Report: Elevated job openings may point to a tight labor market, reinforcing wage and inflation pressures, potentially influencing the Fed’s rate path. May Total Vehicle Sales: A rebound would suggest resilient consumer demand and could support equities tied to autos and credit. Global China Caixin Manufacturing PMI (May): Fell to 48.3, signaling contraction. Weak manufacturing momentum due to renewed U.S. tariffs may pressure Asian markets and commodity demand. Eurozone May CPI (Inflation): Core CPI rose to 2.9% year-on-year. Sticky inflation could keep the ECB cautious, reducing chances of near-term rate cuts.
