Sino-U.S. Trade War Impact on Market Not as High as Predicted

Asian stocks rose across the board and long-term U.S. Treasury yields hovered near four-month highs on Wednesday with investors looking past the latest escalation in the U.S.-China trade feud, seen by some market participants as less severe than expected. Wall Street shares posted a broad-based rally on Tuesday amid emerging views that the U.S.-China trade dispute’s impact on world growth might not be as severe as previously feared. The broader equity markets are able to regroup now that the latest phase of the U.S.-China trade war is over due to the United States setting the initial tariffs at 10%, rather than the expected 25%, which is seen by many as a gesture that it was buying time for further negotiations.

US Greenback has gained strength in broad markets in early Asian market hours but major currencies are fighting back resulting in range bound price action in key forex markets. This indicates that despite stronger USD, investor sentiment remains in favor of local markets which are positive sign for equity markets. DAX futures trading in international market ahead of European market hours was near flat up 0.04% on the day indicating possibility for subdued price action in German equity markets as Stock market could see some impact on widening spread difference between US & German bonds. DAX index could open neutral and move range bound during today’s market hours.
