ASX News
The ASX is set to slip despite a second day of records on Wall Street. About 1.05pm in New York, the Dow was up 0.2 per cent, the S&P 500 was up 0.2 per cent and the Nasdaq had risen 0.3 per cent. But by 3.50pm, the markets had turned. The Dow was down 0.3 per cent, the S&P 500 had dropped 0.2 per cent and Nasdaq had slipped 0.5 per cent.
It’s another big day for reporting season today with Coca-Cola Amatil, Domain, Qantas and Wesfarmers among the companies handing down profit reports.
SPI futures were down 7 points or -0.1 per cent to 6110 near 3.25am AEST. The Australian dollar was down -0.2 per cent to 72.27 US cents.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes hit all-time highs as Apple became the first publicly listed US company to cross $US2 trillion ($2.7 trillion) in market capitalisation, with strong results from retailers Target and Lowe’s also lifting sentiment.
The best measure of that is inflation-adjusted interest rates on 10-year Treasury bonds, which have plunged well below zero as nominal yields held fairly steady. Other signs of success include rising expectations for future prices among US households.
Those are all signals that investors reckon some degree of inflation may be on the way, in part because Fed Chair Jerome Powell and colleagues slashed interest rates to almost zero and bought hundreds of billions of dollars of government bonds. Some even think price pressures could ultimately spiral out of hand, as ultra-easy monetary policy combines with fiscal stimulus after lawmakers authorised $US3 trillion in spending and debate still more.
The market signals are “exactly what the Federal Open Market Committee should want to see to see at this juncture when inflation expectations are too low and policy space is limited,.
