Most Asian stocks rise as investors eye US trade talks

Asian equities mostly rose Monday following a record-breaking day on Wall Street as investors kept tabs on countries' efforts to strike trade deals with the United States before a key deadline next week. And the dollar weakened on growing expectations for more interest rate cuts, while eyes were on Donald Trump's signature tax-cutting bill -- now inching towards a Senate vote -- that some experts warn could add trillions of dollars to the national debt. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq finished at all-time peaks Friday amid optimism governments will be able to avoid swingeing tariffs imposed by the US president in April and paused until July 9 to allow for negotiations. Officials from Japan and India have extended their stays in Washington to continue talks, raising hopes for agreements with two of the world's biggest economies. Hopes that the deadline could be extended were boosted Friday by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who told Fox Business "we have countries approaching us with very good deals" but they might not all be finalised by next week. But he added: "If we can ink 10 or 12 of the important 18 -- there are another important 20 relationships -- then I think we could have trade wrapped up by Labor Day," which falls on September 1. Trump said at the weekend that he did not expect to extend the deadline, telling the "Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo" show: "I don't think I'll need to". "I could, no big deal," he added in the interview that was taped Friday. Meanwhile, Canadian Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said Sunday that Ottawa would rescind taxes impacting US tech firms in hopes of reaching a trade agreement with Washington after Trump called off talks in retaliation for the levy. Negotiations would resume with the aim of getting a deal by July 21, Ottawa added. After Wall Street's record day, most of Asia followed suit. Tokyo extended its recent rally fuelled by tech firms, while there were also gains in Shanghai, Sydney, Seoul, Singapore, Manila and Jakarta. But Hong Kong, Wellington and Taipei fell. There was little major reaction to data showing the contraction in Chinese factory activity eased further in June after a China-US trade truce. The dollar extended losses against its peers as traders increased bets on at least two rate cuts this year following Trump's indication he could choose a successor to Federal Reserve boss Jerome Powell within months. "Markets... are already pricing not just two Fed cuts this year, but a full-blown easing cycle stretching deep into 2026," said SPI Asset Management's Stephen Innes. "Powell may still hold the gavel, but traders are betting the next Fed chair walks, talks, and cuts like a dove in MAGA red." Senators were also debating Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill", which extends his expiring first-term tax cuts at a cost of $4.5 trillion and beefs up border security. The Republican president has ramped up pressure to get the package to his desk by July 4, and called out wavering lawmakers from his party. However, there are worries about the impact on the economy, with the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimating the measure would add nearly $3.3 trillion to US deficits over a decade. - Key figures at around 0230 GMT - Tokyo - Nikkei 225: UP 1.6 percent at 40,809.82 (break) Hong Kong - Hang Seng Index: DOWN 0.4 percent at 24,183.73 Shanghai - Composite: UP 0.3 percent at 3,433.80 Euro/dollar: UP at $1.1724 from $1.1718 on Friday Pound/dollar: UP at $1.3723 from $1.3715 Dollar/yen: DOWN at 144.31 yen from 144.68 yen Euro/pound: UP at 85.45 pence from 85.43 pence West Texas Intermediate: DOWN 0.5 percent at $65.18 per barrel Brent North Sea Crude: DOWN 0.3 percent at $67.57 per barrel New York - Dow: UP 1.0 percent at 43,819.27 (close) London - FTSE 100: UP 0.7 percent at 8,798.91 (close) dan/sco Melden Sie sich an, um Ihr Portfolio aufzurufen.

Is the economy good enough for stocks?

It's doesn't happen all that often, but July 4 falls on Friday. Since it is a national holiday, most Americans will have the day off. The last time July 4 fell on a Friday was in 2014. The next time, it falls on a Friday is 2031. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter But July 4 landing on a Friday also means the most important economic report of the month - the monthly jobs report - comes on Thursday. And that means a very full day of economic reports demanding attention. The reports may offer a snapshot of an economy that's losing a little gas. So, be happy if you get a three-day weekend. And enjoy watching the U.S. stock market continue to melt up in a broadening rally. Futures trading late Sunday indicated a strong open for stocks. Last week, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and the Nasdaq Composite and Nasdaq-100 indexes all hit record highs. The S&P 500 ended the week up 27.7% from its April lows. Not to be outdone, the Nasdaq bounced 37% from its lows, and the Nasdaq-100 was up 36%. Stocks plunged the days after President Trump unveiled his tariff proposal on April 2.

There is speculation the Fed may cut its federal funds rate from 4.25%-to-4.5% to 4%-to-4.25% at its July 29-30 meeting. Chairman Jerome Powell has resisted near-constant demands from President Trump for a big pre-emptive rate cut. Powell is worried tariffs will push domestic inflation higher. A consensus is starting to emerge for the Fed to cut that rate at its Sept. 16-17 meeting. That may not produce lower mortgage rates; the rate on a 30-year mortgage is running between 6.7% and 6.9%. Mortgage rates are largely determined by the bond market. Right now, bond investors want more on long-term U.S. debt. The yield on a 30-year bond has risen nearly to 5% this year while the 5-year yield has dropped to 3.84% from 4.4% at the end of 2024, according to Mortgage News jobs report, due at 8:30 a.m. The report is expected to show the unemployment rate at 4.2% and payroll employment expanding by 115,000, down from last month's reading of 129,000 jobs gained. (Estimates on Wall Street range from 110,000 to 170,000.) The consensus estimate is wages will be up 0.3% for the month, down from 0.4% in May. The year-over-year change should be 3.8%, down down slightly from May's 3.9%.

Ondo Finance: ‘2025 Will Be the Year of Tokenized Stocks'

Ondo (ONDO) ONDO rose 1.5% to $0.7671 over the past 24 hours, holding near recent highs after a week of gains, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis model. The move comes roughly two weeks after Ondo Finance disclosed a new industry collaboration focused on setting standards for tokenized securities. In a June 17 blog post, the firm announced the creation of the Global Markets Alliance, a group of wallets, exchanges, and custodians working together to improve interoperability, investor protections, and access to tokenized real-world assets. Participants include the Solana Foundation, BitGo, Fireblocks, Jupiter, 1inch, Trust Wallet, Bitget Wallet, Rainbow Wallet, and Alpaca. The announcement comes ahead of Ondo's planned launch of Ondo Global Markets, a platform aimed at allowing crypto wallets and applications to offer tokenized exposure to U.S. publicly traded securities, such as stocks, ETFs, and mutual funds, for users based outside the U.S. According to the company, the initiative is intended to reduce frictions associated with traditional capital market infrastructure and broaden global access. Each member of the alliance is contributing in a different capacity. Wallet providers like Trust Wallet and Rainbow Wallet are integrating Ondo's tokenized asset standards, while exchanges such as Jupiter and aggregators like 1inch are expected to support programmatic access to tokenized assets. BitGo and Fireblocks are providing institutional custody and infrastructure, and Alpaca is handling brokerage and regulatory services tailored to tokenized securities. The firm said the group will work to align technical and compliance standards for tokenized securities, improve cross-platform access and liquidity, and support use cases such as self-custody and onchain trading. While the alliance has not committed to a specific timeline, its members have framed the initiative as part of a longer-term shift toward integrating traditional financial products into blockchain-based systems. In a post on X dated June 28, Ondo Finance wrote that '2025 will be the year of tokenized stocks,' indicating the team's belief that adoption of tokenized financial instruments may accelerate in the coming quarters. Technical Analysis Highlights Between June 28 15:00 UTC and June 29 14:00 UTC, ONDO rose from $0.749 to $0.769, a 2.67% gain within a 3.33% trading range. Strong support was confirmed at $0.755 with high volume during the 21:00 UTC hour on June 28. Key resistance at $0.765 was broken during the 00:00 UTC hour on June 29, when volume spiked to 8.9 million. From 13:05 to 14:04 UTC on June 29, ONDO fell slightly from $0.773 to $0.769, a 0.58% drop, with notable selling at 13:33 UTC. A temporary support level formed at $0.768 as multiple recovery attempts above $0.769 failed in the final minutes. Price action during the final hour formed a descending channel with lower highs, but the last candle hinted at potential reversal.
