Japanese bonds may face more pressure
JGBs are under pressure with the 40-year yield up as much as seven basis points; worries about US Treasuries and domestic spending under Takaichi's government mean Japanese bonds could come under more pressure next.
Dollar weakens on fiscal indiscipline, inflation
Treasury debt buyback plans are just tinkering at the margins; without meaningful deficit reduction they will not assuage investors, and fiscal indiscipline combined with unchecked inflation is driving dollar depreciation.
Shareholder returns may floor Samsung, SK hynix
Samsung and SK hynix have solid balance sheets and are generating record cash from high-bandwidth memory demand for NVIDIA chips; their shareholder return plans may put a floor under stocks that are down about 25% from June peaks.
Oil may rally if Iran situation persists
Oil is seeing a slow but steady ratcheting up in price from Iran sanctions; if the situation continues many more months, inventories will fall further and prices are likely to go higher, but for now the oil market is managing without prices getting out of control.
September issuance may boost long-end bonds
If the September issuance window shows no real indigestion in absorbing investment-grade and hyperscaler debt, the crowding-out narrative loses force and that can be positive for the long end in credit and Treasuries.
Negative surprises could lift Treasury duration
US growth momentum is slowing as tax refunds and capex incentives fade; if economic surprises turn negative for a few weeks, US exceptionalism will be disappointed and duration should get bid, helping the Treasury curve.
Weaker dollar helps US mega-cap equities
A weaker dollar is actually good for US equities because the largest S&P 500 companies make over 50% of sales outside the US; the recent dollar decline helps mega-cap earnings and boosts earnings revisions, so it is positive for headline equity indices.
Japan gets boost from buybacks, banks
HSBC is overweight Japanese equities because of the bank story, renewed shareholder focus with buybacks and dividends, domestic fiscal spending, defense names, and idiosyncratic independent drivers; both the Nikkei and AI/tech exposure look sound.
