Daily Market Outlook – Tuesday, September 10


“Markets Rebound, China Concerns Linger, US Presidential Debate Eyed”On Tuesday, Asian stocks experienced a modest advance; however, they were unable to maintain an optimistic rally on Wall Street due to concerns regarding the Chinese economy’s decline. Overnight data indicated that China’s exports experienced their most significant growth since March 2023 in August. This suggests that manufacturers are expediting the production of orders in anticipation of tariffs from several trade partners. Conversely, imports failed to meet expectations due to lackluster domestic demand. This was in response to the inflation figures released on Monday, which indicated that domestic demand remained fragile as producer price deflation deteriorated. This has prompted requests for additional stimulus from Beijing to support its economy. The Chinese market was further impacted by the escalating trade tensions that resulted from the U.S. House of Representatives’ passage of a bill on Monday. The bill seeks to restrict business with China’s WuXi AppTec, BGI, and several other biotech companies on national security grounds. The Hang Seng Mainland Properties Index plummeted to a record low, even though the broader Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong gained 0.4%. China’s beleaguered property sector remained a significant drag. The Nikkei 225 of Japan added 0.23% and appeared to be on the brink of reversing five consecutive sessions of losses.In the UK the Labour Force Survey (LFS) reported a substantial increase in employment levels of 265k 3m/3m up to July, which was higher than the anticipated 123k. However, the August reading from the more recent HMRC dataset indicated a loss of 59k payrolled employees. In contrast, the ex-bonus measure experienced a further moderation in average earnings to 5.1% 3m/y in July, as anticipated, from 5.4% 3m/y. Nevertheless, the median pay growth rate for August increased from 5.5% y/y to 6.2% y/y in the HMRC real-time indicator. The unemployment rate’s return to 4.1% was anticipated. What is the underlying message that emerges from this?  There does not appear to be sufficient evidence to dissuade the MPC from adhering to the current expectations for a relatively gradual rate-cutting trajectory, despite a few erroneous headlines.Stateside all eyes will be the first debate between Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump which will take place later on Tuesday, in the lead-up to the Presidential election on November 5. The two candidates are currently in a close contest for the Presidency. Overnight Newswire Updates of Note
