Asia. Day 5 after the Brexit (the calm
persists)
Markets
o Japan equity markets ended flat on Thursday with the
Nikkei up 0.06%. Markets were sold after a firmer
open, broadly mirroring gains in the yen. TOPIX
sectors were mixed with gains led by resources and
declines driven by textiles. News flow was very light
and today's data releases had little impact.
o China was slightly flat, with the Shenzen B gaining
+0.59% but the Shanghai Stock Exchange lower (0.1%).
o India was higher again (+0.66%)
o Malaysia +0.5%
o And Hong King showing the strongest gains: up +1.6%
o Bonds: Japanese 10yr government bond unchanged
(with yields going up by just 1bp to -0.22%).
Yen
o
JPY strengthened slightly (from 102.75 to
105.58) and gave place to a discussion about the
yen's safe haven phenomenon and the problems it
poses for the Japanese government with few easy
options to curb a rise that hurts exporters and could
tip the economy back into recession. In sum, some of
the conclusions reached is that the global economic
dynamics contributing to the yen's strength persist,
while the effectiveness of unilateral intervention and
additional monetary easing are questioned.
