The Day Ahead
Yesterday’s Takeaway
Asia’s equity rout deepened overnight, with South Korea’s KOSPI β©7,593 plunging -6.22% to cap a brutal -13.73% weekly decline, while Japan’s Nikkei 225 Β₯64,093 fell -2.02% and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng HK$24,338 dropped -0.93%. The selloff unfolded amid Iran war spillovers weighing on emerging markets β Reuters reported mounting costs to India’s economy and government finances β and Indonesia’s central bank executing a surprise off-cycle rate hike to prop up the sinking rupiah. Single-stock moves were sharp, with Nuvalent surging +39.28% and Applied Optoelectronics tumbling -17.17% among the day’s most active movers.
The Setup
Cross-asset signals paint a picture of defensive positioning ahead of today’s session. The VIX 19.87 jumped +5.02% yesterday, now sitting +26.0% week-over-week near its 52-week high of 21.51, while US 10-year yields climbed to 4.54% (+0.44% day). European money markets are pricing heightened stress with EURIBOR3M hitting 2.35% (+1.73% day), a fresh 52-week high, even as German 10-year yields eased to 3.05% (-0.33% day). EUR/USD held flat at 1.15, suggesting currency markets are waiting for clearer directional catalysts.
Today’s Watch
China’s May credit data dominates the morning agenda, with New Loans forecast at 540 billion yuan versus April’s contractionary -10 billion reading. Any disappointment could accelerate the Shanghai Composite’s 3,978 CNY slide beyond this week’s -2.60% decline. M2 Money Supply is expected to hold steady at 8.6%, but the broader Total Social Financing picture will signal Beijing’s policy response to economic headwinds. CFTC positioning data releases after US close could reveal whether institutional money is adding to defensive postures, particularly in S&P 500 futures where specs held -220.8K net short positions last week.
