Nikkei rally buoys Asian shares as Trump announces Japan trade deal
SYDNEY :Japanese shares led an Asian share market rally on Wednesday after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a trade deal with Japan and fuelled hopes of more to come, offsetting mixed U.S. earnings that highlighted the drags from higher tariffs. Trump late on Tuesday announced a trade deal with Tokyo that he said will result in Japan investing $550 billion into the United States and paying a 15 per cent reciprocal tariff. It followed an agreement with the Philippines that will see the U.S. collect a 19 per cent tariff rate on imports from there. "Though details are not yet available, it is commendable that the 25 per cent baseline tariff was avoided," Norihiro Yamaguchi, senior Japan economist at Oxford Economics. "In the short run I think lowered uncertainty will be welcomed in the equity market. But global trade policy uncertainty will remain high, meaning that today's conclusion will provide little upside to the real economy." The U.S. president also said representatives from the European Union are coming for trade negotiations on Wednesday. In another positive development, U.S. and Chinese officials will meet in Stockholm next week to discuss an extension to the August 12 deadline for negotiating a trade deal, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said. Japan's Nikkei rose 1.7 per cent on Wednesday as shares of automakers surged. Mazda Motor rallied 12 per cent while Toyota Motor jumped 10 per cent. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan advanced 0.2 per cent underpinned by higher openings in Australia and South Korea. The yen initially gained on the news, but was last flat at 146.68 per dollar. Nasdaq futures climbed 0.1 per cent and S&P 500 futures gained 0.2 per cent in Asia. Overnight, Wall Street closed mixed as investors assessed a spate of varied earnings and signs that Trump's trade war is hitting corporate profit margins. General Motors tumbled 8.1 per cent after the automaker reported a $1 billion hit from tariffs to its quarterly results. Investors are now waiting for results from Tesla and Google's parent Alphabet - the Magnificent 7 stocks that have driven much of the market rally fuelled by AI optimism. In the foreign exchange market, the dollar index was flat at 97.45 against its major peers, having slipped 0.4 per cent overnight to mark the third straight day of declines. Benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yields ticked up 2 basis points to 4.3579, after slipping 3 bps overnight, as Trump continued to lash out at Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for not cutting interest rates, although Bessent said there was no need for him to step down immediately. Bessent did say the Fed's vital independence on monetary policy is threatened by its "mandate creep" into non-policy areas and he called on the U.S. central bank to conduct an exhaustive review of those operations.

Middle East tensions put investors on alert, weighing worst-case scenarios
Investors are mulling a host of different market scenarios should the US deepen its involvement in the Middle East conflict. PHOTO: BLOOMBERG NEW YORK - Investors are mulling a host of different market scenarios should the US deepen its involvement in the Middle East conflict, with the potential for ripple effects if energy prices skyrocket. They are honed in on the evolving situation between Israel and Iran, which have exchanged missile strikes, and are poised for action if the US decides to join Israel in its bombing campaign. That would likely cause an initial selloff in equities and possible safe-haven bid for the dollar on concerns US military action against Iran would send inflation higher, dampening consumer confidence and lessening the chance of near-term interest rate cuts. The move by the US to deploy B-2 bombers to Guam on June 21 has caught the attention of market participants. While the bombers could be used to deliver the 30,000-pound bombs able to destroy Iran's underground nuclear programme facilities, it is unclear whether the move is tied to Middle East events. The move 'just underscores the administration's willingness to threaten to intervene,' said Mr Mark Spindel, chief investment officer of Potomac River Capital LLC. 'I think this will help oil prices stay higher; the easy direction for them right now is up at this point,' Mr Spindel added. While US West Texas Intermediate crude prices (WTI) have climbed some 10 per cent over the past week, the S&P 500 has been little changed, following an initial drop when Israel launched its attacks. However, if attacks were to take out Iranian oil supply, 'that's when the market is going to sit up and take notice', said Mr Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B Riley Wealth. 'If you get disruption to supply of oil product on the global marketplace, that is not reflected in today's WTI price and that is where things get negative,' Mr Hogan said. The White House said on June19 that President Donald Trump would decide on US involvement in the conflict in the next two weeks. Israeli officials, however, have told the Trump administration they do not want to wait the two weeks and that Israel could act alone before the deadline is up, two sources said. Analysts at Oxford Economics modelled three scenarios, including a de-escalation in the conflict, a complete shutdown in Iranian production, and a closure of the Strait of Hormuz, 'each with increasingly large impacts on global oil prices', the firm said in a note. In the most severe case, global oil prices jump to around US$130 (S$167) per barrel, driving US inflation near 6 per cent by the end of 2025, Oxford said in the note. 'Although the price shock inevitably dampens consumer spending because of the hit to real incomes, the scale of the rise in inflation and concerns about the potential for second-round inflation effects likely ruin any chance of rate cuts in the US this year,' Oxford said in the note. Oil impact The biggest market impact from the escalating conflict has been restricted to oil, with oil prices soaring on worries that the Iran-Israel conflict could disrupt supplies. Global benchmark Brent crude futures have risen as much as 18 per cent since June 10, hitting a near five-month high of US$79.04 on June 19. The accompanying rise in investors' expectations for further near-term volatility in oil prices has outpaced the rise in volatility expectations for other major asset classes, including stocks and bonds. But other asset classes, including stocks, could still feel the knock-on effects of higher oil prices, especially if there is a larger surge in oil prices if the worst market fears of supply disruptions come true, analysts said. 'Geopolitical tensions have been mostly ignored by equities, but they are being factored into oil,' Citigroup analysts wrote in a note. 'To us, the key for equities from here will come from energy commodity pricing,' they said. Stocks unperturbed US stocks have so far weathered rising Middle East conflict with little sign of panic. A more direct U.S. involvement in the conflict could, however, spook markets, investors said. As the days pass, Potomac River Capital's Spindel said, markets have become increasingly focused on the Middle East. 'The stock market can only digest one thing at a time, and right now we're all focused on if, whether and when the US enters this conflict.' Economists warn that a dramatic rise in oil prices could damage a global economy already strained by Mr Trump's tariffs. Still, any pullback in equities might be fleeting, history suggests. During past prominent instances of Middle East tensions coming to a boil, including the 2003 Iraq invasion and the 2019 attacks on Saudi oil facilities, stocks initially languished but soon recovered to trade higher in the months ahead. On average, the S&P 500 slipped 0.3 per cent in the three weeks following the start of conflict, but was 2.3 per cent higher on average two months following the conflict, according to data from Wedbush Securities and CapIQ Pro. Dollar woes An escalation in the conflict could have mixed implications for the US dollar, which has tumbled this year amid worries over diminished US exceptionalism. In the event of US direct engagement in the Iran-Israel war, the dollar could initially benefit from a safety bid, analysts said. 'Traders are likely to worry more about the implicit erosion of the terms of trade for Europe, the UK, and Japan, rather than the economic shock to the US, a major oil producer,' Mr Thierry Wizman, Global FX & Rates Strategist at Macquarie Group, said in a note. But longer-term, the prospect of U.S.-directed 'nation-building' would probably weaken the dollar, he said. 'We recall that after the attacks of 9/11, and running through the decade-long US presence in Afghanistan and Iraq, the USD weakened,' Mr Wizman said.
