Market Brief: Hong Kong reaches Wall Street, and Oval Office
Stock market snapshot as of [21/11/2019 3:35 pm]
“Confusion” is not really a mental state that seems to apply much to Liu He. But markets are going with it. China’s chief trade negotiator, a Harvard educated classmate of president Xi Jinping, said he remains cautiously optimistic about a deal though “confused” by Washington’s various positions. That less than ringing endorsement of the state of trade talks is guiding the session
An official invitation of U.S. negotiators to Beijing is being shrugged off, perhaps demonstrating that trade headlines aren’t markets’ be all and end all, after all. (U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer reportedly has not accepted the invitation)
World shares held off lows as Wall Street trade got underway, though the bias only inched reluctantly towards ‘risk’. Treasury and Eurozone yields were off Thursday troughs, 1-to-2 basis points higher. Yen and franc havens looked heavy; spot gold traded $1.80/Oz lower
Optimistic or not, “still communicating” or mute, Beijing has made its displeasure with Congress’s ‘Hong Kong bill’ clear. And it is encouraging a link with talks. Trump is widely expected to sign the bill, which was expedited through Congress amid unusual bipartisan support

Stocks/sectors on the move

Still, the sector was cushioned by data showing U.S. retail sales grew a solid 4.1% in the week to 16th November, according to Johnson Redbook. The month is forecast to be about 6% better than in the year before
S&P 500’s consumer staples stocks fell 0.5%, with only Real Estate worse, losing 0.9%. Energy leads, with Brent and WTI elevated following surprisingly fast oil inventory drawdowns in the previous week
Alibaba Group Holding’s U.S.-listed stock barely rose, though at least it rose, compared to a 0.4% drop by the Nasdaq 100. Positive sentiment from an oversubscribed Hong Kong share sale helped China’s e-commerce giant, as well as a last-minute discount
European super-sector relative performance largely mirrors the U.S., though ‘Materials’ leads the downside, weighed by increasingly pessimistic ThyssenKrupp, after its latest outlook warning
