Nikkei May Decline Ahead of BOJ Rate Decision — Market Talk

Japanese stocks face potential declines ahead of the Bank of Japan's rate decision, with Nikkei futures already down 1.2% as investors turn cautious. The weakness follows an overnight Alphabet share selloff, while the dollar trades at 157.72 yen ahead of the BOJ policy announcement and domestic earnings updates. Uncertainty surrounding the BOJ's decision could intensify volatility in Japanese equities and the yen.

US PCE Hits 3.6% as Intel Plunges Over 20% After Hours

Intel fell more than 20% in after-hours trading after issuing Q4 guidance that was far below expectations. The company also faced an explosion at an Israel plant, weak PC demand, and constrained AI chip supply. The broader US equity backdrop weakened: the Nasdaq fell 1.4%, the S&P 500 ended a three-session winning streak, and cloud-service stocks broadly declined. Amazon reported Q3 net sales of $201.9 billion, below expectations, while EPS fell 3% year-on-year to $1.89. Its capital spending reached $77.26 billion, above expectations, and free cash flow was negative for a second consecutive quarter. US September PCE inflation rose 3.6% year-on-year, the highest since May, while core PCE rose to 3.1%. The personal saving rate fell to its lowest level since October 2022. Third-quarter real GDP grew at a 3.4% annualized quarter-on-quarter rate, the highest in a year and above expectations; business investment rose 12.7%, the strongest increase since 2020. The Bank of Japan is expected to announce its rate decision on Friday, with rates expected to remain unchanged.

Grades ease as WTI/Brent discount narrows

The WTI/Brent price discount narrowed as escalating Houthi attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure heightened concerns over global crude supply, despite weakness in US and Brent futures. Houthi forces claimed attacks on three Saudi oil facilities without immediate Saudi confirmation, while December Brent fell 44 cents to $114.88 and WTI dropped 78 cents to $102.00 per barrel. Continued attacks could intensify supply uncertainty and support crude prices, although ample Middle East supplies and weaker Asian demand could limit gains.

Fed December Rate-Hike Odds Hit 74.9%

CME FedWatch data reported on October 30 show a 74.9% probability that the Federal Reserve will raise rates by 25 basis points in December, versus a 25.1% probability of no change. For January, the data assign a 17.1% probability of rates remaining unchanged, a 58.9% probability of cumulative 25 basis points of hikes, and a 24.1% probability of cumulative 50 basis points of hikes. The repricing centers on both the next Fed decision and the potential duration of tightening, with relevance for risk assets including NAS100, SPX500 and XAU.
