• Soft landing? US GDP & PCE inflation data supported ‘soft landing’ views. Growth was better than expected, while inflation pressures continue to ease.• FX consolidation. Despite the macro signals FX majors have been range bound. USD is treading water, with AUD near its 200-day moving average.• Event radar. It is a busy week with Eurozone GDP/CPI, China PMIs, Australian inflation, & a range of US labour stats wrapped around the US Fed meeting.

Markets Mark Time Into US Growth Print

Markets are treading water ahead of US fourth-quarter growth data. Ten-year Treasury yields are holding near 4.16 percent , the dollar is almost unchanged, and key commodity prices – including the major oil benchmarks – are up slightly. Equity markets – key to the dollar’s outperformance over the last year – are setting up for a weaker open after Tesla Inc. missed earnings guidance and said it would grow more slowly this year. Surprising no one monitoring trade flows, Elon Musk warned that Chinese competitors would “demolish” Western automakers without the imposition of protectionist policies on the industry.

Chinese Relief Efforts Boost Sentiment 

An escalation in Chinese stimulus efforts is helping boost global asset prices this morning, driving equity indices, commodity prices, and risk-sensitive currencies higher ahead of the North American open. The greenback is weaker, Treasury yields are slipping, and oil prices are holding steady in still-oversupplied markets. In an unexpected step, the People’s Bank of China announced it would lower the amount of reserves banks need to hold against their deposits for the third time in a year, potentially unlocking roughly 1 trillion yuan in new lending capacity.

More policy support in China?

• Mixed markets. US equities a little higher, with long-end bond yields also rising. USD firmer against EUR & GBP. AUD consolidated near ~$0.6580.• China stimulus. Reports of measures aimed at supporting equities gave Chinese stocks & CNH a shot in the arm. BoJ holds steady but gave a ‘hawkish’ hint.• NZ CPI. Headline NZ inflation slowed as expected, but domestic inflation remains sticky. AUD/NZD dipped post this mornings NZ CPI release. A varied performance across markets over the past day, though most moves have been modest. US equities ended the day higher. The S&P500 (+0.3%) is just shy of...
