Asian stocks slide on weak China data, plunging copper prices
SINGAPORE: Asian equities slipped on Thursday after weaker-than-expected Chinese activity data and a plunge in copper prices, while investors weighed a trade deal between South Korea and the U.S. The dollar held near a two-month high as investors weighed a Federal Reserve decision to hold rates steady and strong earnings from megacap tech firms. Nasdaq futures surged 1.2% higher after better-than-expected earnings from Microsoft and Meta Platforms. S&P 500 futures advanced 0.8%, while the U.S. dollar held steady after hitting a two-month high. Both companies' earnings reports "have shot the lights out", reporting higher revenue from cloud computing and AI-enabled ad targeting respectively, said Tony Sycamore, a market analyst at IG in Sydney. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan eased 0.7%, though still on track for its fourth consecutive monthly gain in July. Stocks in Hong Kong and China led declines after official PMI gauges showed weaker-than-expected economic activity during July. Markets are now awaiting the Bank of Japan's monthly policy decision later in the day, with traders looking for any hints that Governor Kazuo Ueda may offer on the likelihood of another rate hike this year. The Federal Reserve's rate-setting committee voted 9-2 on Wednesday to hold interest rates steady for the fifth consecutive meeting, with two Fed governors dissenting for the first time in more than three decades. Fed Chair Jerome Powell's comments after the decision undercut confidence that borrowing costs would begin to fall in September. "It will take the next two months of data to convince Fed officials that tariff effects will only lead to modest, one-time price increases and that policy rates should head toward neutral," analysts from Citi said in a note. The dollar index was at 98.812, just shy of the two month high of 99.987 it touched on Wednesday. The index is set to clock a 3.1% gain for the month, its first in 2025. "Although the Federal Reserve decided to keep rates steady at its recent rate setting decision, the chance of rate cuts at upcoming meetings remain live as they balance softening economic data with the potential for persistent inflation," said Manusha Samaraweera, fixed income investment director at Capital Group. U.S. gross domestic product growth rebounded more than expected in the second quarter, but the details of the report painted a picture of an economy that was losing steam plagued by uncertainty from Trump's protectionist trade policy. The Korean won appreciated 0.3% after Trump said the U.S. will charge a 15% tariff on imports from South Korea, which will in return invest $350 billion in U.S. projects and purchase $100 billion in U.S. energy products. The announcement is the latest in a series of trade policy deals rushed out before an August 1 deadline to avert the imposition of the April 2 "Liberation Day" tariffs. These deals continue to cast a shadow on global markets. Copper futures plunged 19.4% after Trump said the U.S. will impose a 50% tariff on copper pipes and wiring, as the details of the levy fell short of the sweeping restrictions expected and left out copper input materials such as ores, concentrates and cathodes. Trump said on Wednesday negotiations on trade with India are still under way after announcing earlier the U.S. will impose a 25% tariff on goods imported from the country. Meanwhile, the U.S. will also suspend its "de minimis" exemption that allowed low-value commercial shipments to be shipped to the United States without facing tariffs. The tax break is a mainstay of China's low-cost e-commerce platforms such as Shein and PDD's Temu. In commodities, oil prices rose for a fourth straight day on Thursday, as investors worried about supply shortages amid Trump's push for a swift resolution to the war in Ukraine and threats of tariffs on countries buying Russian oil. Brent crude futures for September delivery, which are set to expire on Thursday, rose 0.33%, to $73.48 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude for September gained 0.21% to $70.15 a barrel. - Reuters

Ad Fatigue Hits Hard In Southeast Asia: 2 In 3 Consumers Tune Out Repetitive Ads
SINGAPORE, July 31 (Bernama) -- A new study by global advertising technology leader The Trade Desk (Nasdaq: TTD) reveals that 66 percent of Southeast Asian consumers are tuning out repetitive ads shown on a single channel. The findings in the study 'The Untapped Opportunity of Omnichannel' underscore the urgent need for advertisers to move away from siloed, multichannel strategies and adopt connected, omnichannel approaches that align with how consumers actually engage with media today. The study looked at the difference between omnichannel campaigns and multichannel campaigns and their impact to the consumer experience and engagement. While both approaches use multiple channels, the distinction lies in execution. Multichannel campaigns often operate in silos with separate strategies across different platforms. In contrast, omnichannel campaigns unify three or more digital channels (such as mobile, display, native, video, audio, DOOH, or CTV/OTT) into a connected experience that optimizes message sequencing and frequency based on how users consume media.
