Daily Market Outlook, November 22, 2022
Overnight Asian markets traded with a mixed tone taking the baton from similar action seen on Wall Street, with US indices whipsawing intraday before closing broadly unchanged. Overnight Chinese authorities issued orders for closure of museums and parks across Beijing and increased mass testing across more major cities. The moves in China have once again led to concern in markets that further closures in China will add to the lackluster global growth environment, the relief rally premised on a reduction in restrictions in China is now being unwound. The China restrictions and OPEC leaks regarding potential supply increases, later denied by Saudi Arabia, led to volatility in Oil markets with the benchmark WTI price seeing a $5 plunge before recovering to close flat on the day just above $80 a barrel. Crypto lender Genesis is struggling to secure financing, a day after halting customer redemptions, leading to concerns of the next domino to fall the cryptoverse, investor confidence in the Crypto space remains depressed, following FTX’s collapse leaving over $3billion dollars owed to creditors.
For the day ahead: the Organisation for Economic Cooperations and Development (OECD) is widely expected to underline its pessimistic outlook for the global economy, as inflation and energy price volatility continue to risk pushing major economies into recession. In the UK, markets will be watching OBR officials testimony in front of the House of Commons Committee, given their new found optimism in an economic recovery that outpaces the Bank of England's view, they may also be quizzed about risks to their new fiscal targets. In the Eurozone, the only data of note is consumer confidence, after recovering from record lows last month, market watchers see limited potential for further improvement. With no tier one data of note in the US, markets will once again parse comments from Fed members, yesterday’s speakers suggested a potential for a slower rise in rates, however, Bullard speaks again today and he spooked markets last week with raising the terminal rate expectation to 7% from the previous 5% level, members George and Mester also speak today.
