Investors mobilise market whiplash from wild-card events
LONDON: Big investors are mobilising to trade through weeks packed with wild-card events that may shatter the calm in stock markets and drive big swings for assets they see as exposed to both positive or negative surprises, from gold to corporate credit. US Treasuries, the dollar, yen and euro zone debt may also turn volatile, investors said, Thursday's US jobs data is followed by next week's crunch US-European Union tariff deadline and then an unpredictable French budget vote. After that, markets face an August 12 deadline for US-China talks to achieve a trade deal. "I can't think of a time in my history in markets, which is pretty long, where you've had so much risk and so little risk premium," said Insight Investment head of investment specialists April La Russe, referring to the compensation for holding risky assets over cash. Here's a look at how investors are gaming out potential market flare-ups in the days and weeks ahead. TARIFF TREMORS Russell Investments global head of solutions strategy Van Luu said market participants were pricing a mildly positive outcome on July 9, with the US and EU either settling for 10 per cent universal tariffs or postponing a resolution, as the US had with China. He had turned negative on corporate credit because yields were underpricing the economic risks of ongoing tariff uncertainty, he said. With Brussels now pushing for exemptions for key EU export sectors, the worst-case scenario was a deadlock and markets starting to fear reciprocal tariffs, he said. Amundi global head of macro, Mahmood Pradhan, a former IMF deputy director for Europe, said the July 9 outcome was a coin-toss but a benign result was already priced into risky assets. World stocks have rebounded and are up 24 per cent since a low of April 8, soon after US President Donald Trump delivered his "Liberation Day" April 2 bombshell of tariffs on imports from around the world. "Given the rally we've had, there might not be more upside," Pradhan said. DOLLAR, TREASURIES, GOLD Any outcome on July 9 could hit the dollar and spark cross-currency volatility, investors said. The greenback is already down some 10 per cent against other major currencies so far this year. Treasuries would suffer if talks broke down, a threat to world trade, Artemis head of fixed income strategy Liam O'Donnell said. A long and steady accumulation of Treasuries by overseas investors and central banks has been partly driven by the dollar's dominant position in global trade flows. Gold, which has soared by more than 25 per cent year-to-date to $3,344 as investors piled into the precious metal to hedge portfolios against inflation and recession risks sparked by high tariffs, is also vulnerable to a positive EU tariff outcome. "We could see profit taking (on gold) by real money investors and also hedge funds," Edmond de Rothschild multi-asset head Michael Nizard said. DATA JOLTS While latest US payrolls data is released on Thursday, the next official payrolls report on August 1 could be a bigger jolt to world markets than tariffs, coming at a time of holiday-thinned trade, investors added. "In terms of what would produce the biggest market surprise, I think it's actually US data because that has been flying under the radar," Russell's Luu said. Artemis' O'Donnell said the upcoming US job reports were the biggest event risk for markets. Luu said gauges of expected volatility in some world currencies seemed too low, particularly those expressing how Japan's yen, which can rip higher when US rate cut bets build, might swing against the dollar and the euro in the months ahead. EUROPE DEBT STRESS There are also crunch dates for Europe that could revive anxiety about debt stress, overshadowed so far by investors tapping assets such as triple-A rated German Bunds as Treasuries' haven appeal has diminished. French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou survived his eighth no-confidence motion on Tuesday but investors are wary about his chances of getting a plan to trim the euro zone's biggest budget deficit on July 14 through a parliament rocked by right-wing rebellions. Germany's stimulus bonanza is also now rolling, with an upper house vote on business tax breaks on July 11. Benchmark Bund yields are about 25 basis points (bps) higher so far this year to around 2.62 per cent given expectations for increased bond sales to fund extra borrowing. The extra yield bond investors demand for lending to France over Germany, at 70 bps now, might be too low given the immediate French budget risk ahead. "We prefer an underweight position in French sovereign bonds in the near term," RBC Wealth Management investment strategy head Frédérique Carrier said. And Britain is also back on the watch-list as government U-turns on welfare reforms threaten a budget blowout, sparking fresh bond selling. — Reuters

US lifts curbs for chip design software due to trade war truce with China
NEW YORK: The United States has lifted restrictions on exports to China for chip design software developers and ethane producers, a further sign of de-escalating US-Sino trade tensions, including concessions from Beijing over rare earths. Synopsys, Cadence Design Systems and Siemens, three of the world's largest electronic design automation (EDA) software developers, said on Wednesday they are restoring access to their software and technology for customers in China. Earlier in the day, the US also sent letters to ethane producers to rescind a restrictive licensing requirement on exports to China imposed in late May and June. The restrictions on EDA software developers and ethane producers were just some of many countermeasures imposed by US President Donald Trump's administration in response to China's export suspension of rare earths and related magnets in April. Beijing's move on rare earths, part of retaliation against Trump's earlier tariffs this year, has upended supply chains central to automakers, aerospace manufacturers, semiconductor companies and military contractors. The issue threatened to scupper a bilateral trade deal. On Friday, China's commerce ministry said that following talks with the US, the two sides have confirmed a framework under which China will review export applications for controlled items while the US will cancel corresponding restrictive measures. "The US have escalated to de-escalate. They put restrictions on many more items in order to get the Chinese to back off on rare earths," according to a source familiar with discussions inside the US government. "As the US and China continue to hold to this framework agreement, we're gonna see a lot of these restrictions go away. Going back to a status quo, where we were at in Feb/March," said the source, who was not authorised to speak to the media and declined to be identified. EDA RELIEF Siemens said in a statement that it has resumed sales and support for Chinese customers after it was recently notified by the US Department of Commerce that export control restrictions for customers in China were no longer in place. Its shares rose 1.7 per cent after-market open on Thursday. Synopsys expects to complete system updates to restore access and support to Chinese customers within three business days, according to a company letter to staff seen by Reuters. The US Department of Commerce did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. Long-term restrictions on Chinese access to EDA software would have significantly hampered China's chip design industry. Synopsys, Cadence and Siemens command more than 70 per cent of China's EDA market, Chinese state news agency Xinhua reported in April. It was not immediately clear if other countermeasures imposed by the US have been lifted. These include the suspension of licences for GE Aerospace to ship jet engines for the C919 aircraft of Chinese airplane maker COMAC ( and for nuclear equipment suppliers to sell to Chinese power plants.
