Asia shares slip, dollar steadies ahead of Jackson Hole
SINGAPORE, Aug 20 (Reuters) - Shares in Asia fell on Wednesday, weighed down by a tech-led selloff on Wall Street, while the dollar gained some ground ahead of a key meeting of central bankers later in the week. Oil prices inched higher after falling in the previous session, as traders bet that talks over a possible agreement to end the war in Ukraine could ease sanctions on Russian crude oil, boosting global supply. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan (.MIAPJ0000PUS), opens new tab fell 0.47%, as did stock futures in Europe and the U.S.. EUROSTOXX 50 futures slid 0.55%, while DAX futures lost 0.5% and FTSE futures eased 0.14%. S&P 500 futures dipped 0.2% and Nasdaq futures lost 0.34%, extending its fall from the cash session overnight. "The S&P 500 and Nasdaq slumped overnight as investors ditched high-flying tech stocks with their lofty valuations," said Tony Sycamore, a market analyst at IG. Adding to headwinds for the sector, news that Nvidia (NVDA.O), opens new tab and AMD (AMD.O), opens new tab have agreed to give the U.S. government 15% of the revenues from chip sales in China, as well as reports that the U.S. is considering taking a 10% stake in Intel, have stoked investor worries of the Trump administration's growing influence on tech companies. Sources also told Reuters that U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is looking into the federal government taking equity stakes in computer chip manufacturers that receive CHIPS Act funding to build factories in the country. "These developments signal that U.S. government is heading in a concerning and more interventionist direction," said Sycamore. Other bourses in Asia were similarly in the red on Wednesday, with Japan's Nikkei (.N225), opens new tab down 1.2%, while China's CSI300 blue-chip index (.CSI300), opens new tab fell 0.5%. Much of investors' attention at the start of the week was on a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and a group of European allies over the Russia-Ukraine war. While the talks concluded without much fanfare, Trump said the United States would help guarantee Ukraine's security in any deal to end Russia's war there. He later said on Tuesday that the United States might provide air support to Ukraine, while ruling out putting U.S. troops on the ground. "The U.S. is not categorically underwriting anything, any security for Ukraine, even if they're open to provide some, because we don't know the conditions under which they will. So there's quite a bit of risk left out there," said Vishnu Varathan, head of macro research for Asia ex-Japan at Mizuho. Oil prices recovered after a fall in the previous session, with Brent crude futures last up 0.46% at $66.09 a barrel. U.S. crude advanced 0.6% to $62.72 per barrel. All eyes are now on the Kansas City Federal Reserve's August 21-23 Jackson Hole symposium, where Fed Chair Jerome Powell is due to speak on the economic outlook and the central bank's policy framework on Friday. Focus will be on what Powell says about the near-term outlook for rates, with traders almost fully pricing in a rate cut next month. "Given the apparent tensions between U.S. CPI and PPI data, (it) does come across as... premature to declare one way or the other. And most importantly, given this kind of dilemma embedded within the data, it is hard to decipher whether the Fed would take or would emphasise the risks that start to mount on the job side of the equation or (the) need to sit firm," said Mizuho's Varathan. Ahead of the gathering, the dollar firmed slightly, pushing the euro down 0.13% to $1.1633, while sterling fell 0.16% to $1.3470. The New Zealand dollar eased 0.17% to $0.5885 ahead of a rate decision by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand due shortly on Wednesday, where a rate cut is expected. Elsewhere, spot gold fell 0.07% to $3,312.89 an ounce.

Netanyahu has pushed Hamas to the brink of destruction
It's often been said that there is nothing as pathetic – and embarrassing – as British politicians opining about what they want to see happen in the Middle East. The days when we ran the show ended many decades ago, and the idea that anyone in Israel or the rest of the region gives a damn about what some nonentity British MP thinks is risible. But as the past few weeks have shown, it's not quite as simple as that. The reaction by Hamas to the Government's plan to recognise a Palestine state – the same applies to similar announcements by France, Canada and Australia – shows that we nonetheless have the ability to throw a giant spanner in the works. Sir Keir Starmer's statement last month had one immediate effect: it emboldened Hamas and destroyed ceasefire talks that had appeared to be making progress. As Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel, put it: 'When you have all these European nations saying, 'Israel's not going to have a ceasefire, we're going to go ahead and unilaterally recognise a Palestinian state,' what do you think that did with Hamas? It emboldened them. It empowered them. And that's when negotiations were over right then.' That is the context in which the latest development in the ceasefire talks needs to be seen, with Hamas reportedly agreeing to a joint Egyptian-Qatari proposal for it to release 10 of the remaining living hostages and 18 bodies (there are believed to be 20 still alive, and another 30 or so dead) during a 60-day truce, with further negotiations over a permanent ceasefire. The question being asked is why Hamas has seemingly done a volte-face and agreed to a ceasefire, barely three weeks after walking away from the last round. First, we simply don't know what, if any, pressure is being applied by Qatar, which is the only nation other than Iran that can force Hamas to act as it wants. But we do know that there is even more pressure on Hamas now from another direction: Israel. Benjamin Netanyahu has been pilloried in Britain and elsewhere for his recently announced plan to occupy Gaza City and to widen military action to all of Gaza.

The Guardian view on Trump and Zelenskyy: Ukraine deserves better than 'better than we feared'
The verdict on Donald Trump's meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other European leaders on Monday depends entirely upon the metric used. The great fear was that this might prove a disaster along the lines of the US president's dressing down of the Ukrainian leader in February – a scenario so plausible that Sir Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, Friedrich Merz and other key European leaders dropped everything to dash to the White House themselves in support. Following his red carpet welcome for Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday, Mr Trump reportedly backed the idea that Ukraine should hand over the Donbas to achieve a peace deal. Even if one were naive enough to think that the Kremlin would see that as an end to conflict, rather than a staging post for a later offensive, it would not be a 'land swap' but a land grab that Ukraine – for good reason – could not stomach. Kyiv would be handing over territory that Moscow has spent years attempting but failing to seize. On the basis of those meetings' precedents, there was cause for some relief after the Washington talks: it could have been much worse. Yet judged by the standards of conventional diplomacy, let alone Ukraine's needs, it was alarming. Last month, Mr Trump threatened tough sanctions against Russia. En route to Alaska, he warned that there would be 'very severe consequences' if there wasn't a ceasefire that day. Yet on Monday, with Ukrainian civilians under intense Russian attack, he said there was no need to stop the fighting while a deal is agreed. Never mind the administration's weak grasp of detail, lack of competence and general inconsistency. Never mind the failure to apply itself to the kind of committed, diligent diplomacy required for peace. The record shows that Ukraine and its European allies repeatedly exert every effort – from a new suit to arms purchases – to draw Mr Trump towards their position. Yet his compass needle always seems to swing back towards Mr Putin. Mr Trump should be standing with a democracy, alongside traditional allies, against a war criminal. But at best, he wants to be a mediator. The Kremlin has yet to confirm that the Russian leader will meet Mr Zelenskyy, as Mr Trump said he would. Mr Trump has said that the US will 'help out' Europe with security guarantees and 'coordinate' any such effort. But there is still no sign that this administration will provide the kind of backing that might make allies willing to put boots on the ground, or to persist with them if tested by Russia. Arguably the most important takeaway from Monday was the ability of European leaders of very different political persuasions – including Italy's Giorgia Meloni – to coordinate effectively. That's good news, but there's a difference between fending off the worst case scenario and being able to establish a concrete plan for the future. Despite Russian advances in recent weeks – spurred by the prospect of talks – this war is costing Moscow dearly too. Mr Putin could yet conclude that it is not in his interests to continue. But even if Mr Trump can be held to his latest position, it remains far short of what is necessary. Ukraine urgently needs action to secure the future of thousands of children kidnapped by Russia, the promise of justice in the future, and above all, a ceasefire, before more lives are lost.
