Stocks Fall in Busy Week, Brent Pushes Toward $95: Markets Wrap

(Bloomberg) — Stocks fell as traders took risk off the table ahead of a raft of policy decisions this week from the US, UK and Japan.

Most Read from Bloomberg

Shares in Asia were broadly lower, with under-performing tech shares sending a gauge of the sector toward its biggest decline in almost a month. The drop mirrored losses in Nvidia Corp. and Meta Platforms Inc., which both fell more than 3.5% on Friday. European stock futures pointed to a lower open, while their US peers held on to small gains.

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index fell as much as 1.6% while China’s CSI 300 Index briefly touched its lowest level this year before erasing losses as traders drew support from data last week which pointed to signs of stabilization. Japan’s markets are shut for a holiday, with the nation’s central bank due to meet later this week.

Traders will be monitoring clues on the global oil supply outlook when Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman addresses an industry conference later Monday. Oil advanced for a third day, with Brent pushing toward $95 per barrel as OPEC+ supply cuts tightened the market. Hedge funds last week boosted their bullish wagers on Brent and US crude to a 15-month high amid the situation.

The oil market is currently bordering on “panic and paranoia” for any bearish outlook, according to Vandana Hari, founder of Vanda Insights. “That’s the state of the market,” she said on Bloomberg Television. “It’s just simply following what is confirming the bullish bias,” she added, referring to the hedge funds’ wagers.

There was no cash trading of Treasuries in Asian hours Monday due to the holiday. Treasury futures edged lower after yields rose Friday, with the rate-sensitive two-year rate closing above 5%. The greenback weakened against all of its G-10 peers.

Higher for Longer

US inflation expectations fell to the lowest in more than two years as consumers grew more optimistic about the economic outlook, data showed Friday. A measure of New York state factory activity unexpectedly expanded amid new orders.

A resilient US economy will prompt the Fed to pencil in one more interest-rate hike this year and stay at the peak level next year for longer than previously expected, according to economists surveyed by Bloomberg News.

“Our expectation is that there is going to be no change in the dots this year,” Ben Luk, a senior multi-asset strategist at State Street Global Markets, said on Bloomberg Television, referring to the Fed’s dot plot. “But we are going to see possibly a revision downward next year from maybe four cuts or 100-basis-point cuts next year to only 75-basis-point cuts next year to really highlight or signal that higher-for-longer message.”

Meanwhile, piles of derivatives contracts tied to stocks, index options and futures expired Friday — compelling traders to roll over their existing positions or to start new ones. This time, it coincided with the rebalancing of benchmark indexes including the S&P 500, another catalyst for more share transactions.

Distressed Chinese property developer Country Garden Holdings Co. faces more tests on Monday, including a vote to extend payment on a local bond.

Elsewhere, Chevron Corp. resumed full production from a liquefied natural gas export facility in Australia that suffered a fault last week, even as union members continued strikes at the site. That took some pressure off natural gas prices.
