Nikkei Paces Asia in Market Gains, China Trails<\/span><\/h1>\n

Asian stock markets<\/strong><\/a> kicked off the week on a positive note, with Japan’s Nikkei Index spearheading the gains while China trailed. The surge in demand for tech stocks fuelled Japan’s market, as investors prepared for a week filled with data that will offer vital insights into the health of the Chinese economy and the direction of U.S. interest rates.<\/span><\/p>\n

China experienced a dip in factory activity in June, as reflected by the Caixin manufacturing survey, which fell to 50.5 from 50.9 in May. Although this was slightly better than the anticipated market figure of 50.2, it underscored the ongoing weakening trend reflected in other surveys.<\/span><\/p>\n

In light of this, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, has promised more “forceful” actions to strengthen the economy. This decision comes at a crucial juncture when the country is expected to introduce a new central bank leader and its blue-chip index (.CSI300) lost 5% in the last quarter, even as most of the developed world witnessed a rally.<\/span><\/p>\n

ANZ analysts caution that efforts to stimulate an economy amidst a significant property downturn, high sector debt, and a dwindling population could be challenging, citing Japan’s struggles in the 1990s as an example.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, Japan’s Nikkei (.N225) index recorded nearly 20% growth in the previous quarter, buoyed by expectations that Japanese firms could step in to fill gaps created by the Sino-US decoupling, and a weakened yen. The index registered another 1.7% rise on Monday, inching towards 30-year highs.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a Bank of Japan survey, business sentiment improved in Q2, driven by easing supply restrictions and the lifting of pandemic-related measures, leading to enhanced factory output and demand.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan (.MIAPJ0000PUS) rose by just 1.2%, still lagging behind Japan’s performance. EUROSTOXX 50 futures and FTSE futures each rose by 0.4%. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures remained steady, ahead of the July 4 holiday, after recording over 6% growth in June.<\/span><\/p>\n

The tech sector, already riding high, could receive an additional boost from Tesla’s (TSLA.O) record delivery of 466,000 vehicles in Q2, exceeding market estimates of around 445,000. This follows Apple’s (AAPL.O) achievement of crossing a $3 trillion valuation for the first time, contributing to Nasdaq’s best quarter in four decades.<\/span><\/p>\n

BofA analysts noted that the market value of the seven largest tech companies has soared by $4.1 trillion this year, with Apple, Microsoft (MSFT.O), and Alphabet (GOOGL.O) now worth more than all emerging markets combined. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
