04/09/2025 Daily Reports
• Wall Street Recovery: After Alphabet’s impressive 9% rally eased concerns from its antitrust case, U.S. markets steadied. The S&P 500 gained 0.5%, while the Nasdaq rose 1%, ending a short losing streak.
• Asian Markets React: Japan’s Nikkei surged 1.2%, Australia’s ASX climbed 0.6%, and South Korea’s Kospi edged up 0.2%.
• China Diverges: Despite regional strength, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng fell 1.1% and the Shanghai Composite dropped nearly 2% on fears of regulatory intervention to curb excessive stock gains and liquidity.
• Bond Market Relief: U.S. Treasury yields retreated after weak job data, with the 10-year yield slipping to 4.22%. The softer labor outlook raised expectations of a Fed rate cut later this month.
• Dollar Weakness Boosts Asia: A weaker U.S. dollar made Asian assets more attractive in currency-adjusted terms, giving regional equities an early September boost.
• Energy Prices: U.S. crude dipped to $63.55 per barrel, while Brent crude slipped to $67.25, reflecting softer global demand expectations.
• Currency Moves: The dollar edged higher against the yen but slipped against the euro, reflecting cautious market sentiment.
• What’s Next?
Asian markets are clearly feeding off Wall Street’s stabilization and the weaker U.S. dollar, but China’s divergence is a red flag. Regulatory risks and tightening liquidity in Beijing could cap regional momentum. For traders, the focus should remain on upcoming U.S. job data — a key driver of Fed policy and global risk appetite in the coming weeks.

The number of people in the US who have lost their jobs has gone up, and the number of jobs that have been offered has been lower than expected. Salesforce’s shares have fallen because it has given a weak prediction for the future, while American Eagle’s shares have risen. The Nikkei has increased in value because the value of the yen has decreased.
• The latest information about the U.S. economy shows different things. More people than usual are claiming unemployment benefits, and fewer people than expected were employed in August. The labour market is becoming more flexible, which means that a Federal Reserve interest rate cut is still a possibility. The value of Salesforce shares fell by nearly 7% after the company provided a weak forecast, causing investors to worry about its growth. This is despite the company having had a strong quarter. In contrast, American Eagle Outfitters saw its shares go up by over 25% following a better-than-expected earnings report and a raised outlook. The recent decline in the prices of some tech stocks, along with a drop in the cost of crude oil, is making it easier for growth stocks to thrive because the costs of production and shipping are going down.
• In Europe, the DAX started the day higher even though retail sales in July were disappointing. This was because investors felt more optimistic about the economy, as the price of government bonds fell. The European Central Bank has also said that it is working on a “digital euro” to make the financial system more resistant to problems.
• Meanwhile, Japan’s Nikkei index rose strongly, gaining around 1.5%, as it followed a steady rise on Wall Street. The weaker yen, which is being affected by recent comments from the Bank of Japan, is still helping Japanese exporters and keeping the overall index level up. The region’s positive sentiment was also boosted by a strong auction of Japanese government bonds and a favorable report on China’s services sector.
