Key News

Asian equities were mixed on the great news of a debt ceiling deal and some belief that the Fed may pause in June, though fixed income futures appear to disagree.

Caixin released the May Manufacturing PMI overnight, which came in at 50.9 versus expectations of 49.5 and April’s 49.5. The Caixin PMI survey is called the “private” as the survey, as it is conducted by private company IHS Markit (now owned by S&P) and focuses on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) versus the “official” PMI’s focus on large companies. However, the Caixin survey polls fewer people than the official PMI, leading to higher volatility.

JD.com’s mid-year shopping festival, the “618 sales event”, kicked off with an impressive start. JD.com stated that “23% more brands achieved the RMB 100-million-yuan sales milestone within the first ten minutes compared to last year.” JD.com’s strong start was evidenced by Hong Kong’s most heavily traded stocks today, which were concentrated in E-Commerce names. They included Tencent, which gained+1.55%, Meituan, which gained +2.36%, Alibaba, which fell -0.77% as short turnover fell to 11% today from yesterday’s 32%, and JD.com, which gained +3.26%. While Hong Kong-listed internet stocks outperformed, the broad market came off the intra-day highs to post small gains.

The Mainland market posted a flat day as support levels for Shanghai at 3,200 and Shenzhen’s 2,000 held steady.

Real estate was weak overnight in Hong Kong and Mainland China on expected light sales volumes for May.

After the close, May electric vehicle (EV) sales were released. BYD announced sales of over 240,220 new energy vehicles (NEVs) in May, bringing the year-to-date total to 1 million units sold, according to CnEVPost.com.

There is a rumor that Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang will visit China following trips this week from Elon Musk and Jamie Dimon.
