Asian Market Overview by Budrigantrade
Budrigannews.com – Budrigantrade’s outlook for the day ahead on Asian markets.
On Wednesday, a light Asian calendar features a Thai interest rate decision and Australian inflation, with a general increase in U.S. bond yields likely to dampen risk appetite.
The two-year Depository yield rose a couple of premise focuses, yet the way that it expanded at all following the earlier day’s 21 bps flood is eminent, and rate-touchy tech stocks hauled Money Road into the red.
Although this is still in its infancy, there is a growing sense of optimism that the banking shock will pass. On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve’s vice chairman for supervision, Michael Barr, and FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg informed lawmakers that depositor funds in U.S. banks are secure.
However, as a result of this relief, risk appetite is being tempered by what appears to be a new spike in bond yields and borrowing costs.
The dollar’s continued weakness on Tuesday despite the rise in bond yields in the United States raises questions. Indeed, even when U.S. yields are rising, it has struggled to capture a safe-haven bid most of the time during the banking stresses.

Alibaba (NYSE:), a Chinese company, will be the focus of Asia’s equity spotlight on Wednesday. Group, the conglomerate established by Jack Ma, announced on Tuesday that it intends to divide its business into six main divisions that will focus on e-commerce, the media, and the cloud.
U.S.-listed shares rose 14% on Tuesday as a result of the news, which represents a surprising and significant change as China seeks to ease regulatory crackdowns and support private businesses. This helped recover some of the nearly 70% lost since curbs were imposed in late 2020.
On the Asian arrangement front on Wednesday, the Bank of Thailand is set to execute its fifth successive quarter-point rate climb trying to get expansion back inside target.
According to a Reuters poll, 18 out of 22 economists expect the BOT to raise its benchmark one-day repurchase rate to 1.75 percent.
Although inflation has dropped to a 13-month low of 3.79 percent, this is still higher than the BOT’s target range of 1% to 3%, and policymakers have indicated that the tightening cycle is not yet complete.
Additionally, Vietnam’s Q1 GDP and March inflation, trade, and industrial production data, as well as Australian inflation figures for February, will be released.
The following are three significant occurrences that may provide markets with additional direction on Wednesday:
– Thailand’s interest rate decision (we anticipate a 25-bps increase).
– Inflation in Australia in February
– U.S. pending home sales in February
