The ruble has plummeted over 9% against the dollar and 6% against the yuan since the US imposed sanctions on approximately 50 Russian banks on November 21. This decline is intensifying pressure on the Bank of Russia to implement a significant interest rate hike to combat rising inflation.
Shares of major semiconductor equipment firms surged following reports that the U.S. is considering less stringent sanctions on China's chip industry. ASML and Tokyo Electron saw significant gains as the U.S. may limit the export blacklist for Chinese firms, potentially softening the impact on ASML's revenue from China. Analysts noted that excluding ChangXin Memory Technologies from the blacklist could lead to a smaller decline in ASML's sales than previously expected.
U.S. inflation rose slightly in October, with the personal consumption expenditures price index increasing by 0.2% month-over-month and 2.3% year-over-year. Despite a dip in U.S. stock markets, investors remain optimistic, with many stocks above their 200-day moving average, indicating a solid market trend. Meanwhile, South Korea unexpectedly cut interest rates amid disappointing economic growth, and forecasts suggest the offshore yuan may hit a record low against the dollar by 2025.
Asian markets showed mixed results amid global economic uncertainty, with Japan's Nikkei rising 0.8% and the Topix up 1.0%, driven by a weak yen. In contrast, China's Shanghai index fell 0.3% as investor sentiment remained fragile due to fears of a potential tariff war linked to US policies. Notably, Tokyo Electron surged 6.45%.
The Bank of Korea has cut its benchmark interest rate by a quarter percentage point to 3% to support a slowing economy, revising its growth forecasts down to 2.2% for 2024 and 1.9% for 2025. This marks the second consecutive month of rate cuts amid high inflation and rising household debt, as global economic uncertainties persist. The bank's actions follow a previous cut in October, the first since May 2020, as concerns grow over the impact of new U.S. tariffs and geopolitical tensions.
China's yuan is projected to weaken to record lows as U.S. tariff threats escalate, with major investment banks forecasting an average of 7.51 per dollar by the end of 2025. The yuan's depreciation poses challenges for Chinese authorities, who aim to stabilize the currency while reviving the economy. The People's Bank of China is expected to implement measures to prevent excessive declines, balancing currency control with economic growth.
Chinese auto part manufacturers, especially those with North American plants, are expected to face limited disruptions from potential U.S. tariffs on Mexico. UBS analysts indicate that U.S. manufacturers' reliance on Chinese firms will make it challenging to find alternatives, allowing for shared tariff costs. Companies like Fuyao Glass and Huizhou Desay SV Automotive are well-positioned to mitigate risks, with Fuyao planning to expand its U.S. capacity and Desay having limited exposure to Mexico.
Chinese stocks are expected to face challenges due to ongoing tariff uncertainties and limited domestic stimulus, according to UBS. The firm maintains a "Neutral" stance, highlighting risks from geopolitical volatility while favoring defensive sectors and high-yielding stocks like China Merchants Bank. Despite projected EPS growth of 8.5% for 2025, potential slowdowns in 2026 loom due to macroeconomic uncertainties.
Emerging Asian bonds are becoming pricier, reducing their appeal compared to global counterparts if Donald Trump implements less severe tariffs than anticipated. Yield spreads for South Korea, the Philippines, India, China, Malaysia, and Indonesia are trading below their 12-month average, indicating higher valuations than other emerging markets like Colombia and Mexico.
President-elect Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on imports from China, Mexico, and Canada could disrupt inflation and investment, potentially reversing progress made by the Federal Reserve. Economists predict an 8% increase in import prices, pushing headline PCE above 3%, while also widening the trade deficit as companies may front-load imports in anticipation of the tariffs.
