Summary：欧洲资产在A50峰会前有所调整，但May传递的乐观信息提振了EUR和GBP。美债遭到持续抛售，美股则在纳指带动下小幅反弹。贸易紧张还有拯救的可能，毕竟这一阶段开始双方都要感到疼了。

Euro Session:

Treasure **res jumped on 200bn news but soon after A share opened, Asia market shrugged off the negative impact. USDCNH retreated half of the early gains coupled with DXY while ADXY even drifted lower. As the market waiting for the statement from DOC, it was reported that HE was on a special meeting engaged on tariffs. I do hope they have preliminary arrangement. A share rallied strongly in the late session while news said that China will boost infrastructure investment against the tariff.

 

TY traded a touch higher than 3% when EU session stepped in. EGBs opened flat except BTP declined as Di Maio clashed with Tria over budget proposals. Soon DOC declare "CHINA TO LEVY RETALIATORY TARIFFS SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH U.S". EU equities opened higher and stepped firmly. Some analysis said EU could fill in the supply gap due to the Sino-US trade tension.

 

Both cable and sterling slid from a six-week high as the latest phrase to describe Brexit was the last mile which French official called difficult. What's more, Tusk warned a no-deal Brexit was still a possibility which triggered profit-taking ahead of the A50 EU summit.

 

As to mid-east, Putin and Erdogan has agreed on Idlib demilitarized zone. Erdogan said Turkey will reinforce its military outposts there while the rebels there are mostly Al-Qaeda allied troops at present which made it harder for US to interfere while US wish to export LNG to Germany as early as 2022. How or how long can Uncle Sam bearing Russia and Turkey forces patrolling there ?

 

Around 6:00 this morning, report said May says exit deal virtually agreed, rules out 2bn vote. Both EUR and GBP rallied on this while only Tory Brexiter and labor could reverse some gains later.

 

Economy data:

4:00, ITA Aug industrial orders -2.3% mom vs 3.6% mom, nsa 2.8% yoy vs 4.9%.

US Session:

Helped by block trade in treasure **res and active IG issuance , UST saw aggressively selling off in a straight line around 8:00 when market shrugged off the trade tension of 200bn. TY sliced through 3%, easily taking out Monday's lows, with yields printing as high as 3.055%. Equities also ignored the trade issue led by Nasdaq up another 1% at high.

Economy data:

8:30, Jul. Canada Manufacturing Sales 0.9% m/m vs. +0.6% , prior 1.1% revised up to 1.3%

10:00,US Sep. NAHB Housing Market Index 67 vs 66, prior 67.

US Stock market is like a "spoiled child." The more reasons/worries thrown at it for sharper correction, the more it shrugs it off. Just before US equities opened, China announced that it will levy 5%-25% tariffs on $60bn of US goods, effective September 24th. The tariffs will be levied on 5,207 US products. China said it hopes the US will stop trade frictions, and hold a dialogue. What's interesting is A share went strong with AUD, which could mean market still focus on the potential of China's economy given the 200bn plus 50bn almost took most part of China's exporting to US.

 

NFP wage excitement from 2 weeks ago, couple with voluntarily quitting rate going higher, and we finally get TY above 3% despite 200bn tariffs. Before this statement, markets were getting more focused on a move to higher rates given strong data, hawkish Fed rhetoric and belief that they may need to raise the dots.

 

Although there is still hope which can save this trade crisis, since our DOC said they "have to retaliate" with the 10% tariffs going into effect 5 days later and they are willing to send shouwen wang to NY for negotiation, hike next week is still a lock deal now. What makes difference, Fed has to take serious consideration of the mid and even long-term impact on US economy now on the contrary to what the market worried before. With TY above 3% , I won't be surprised to see it would challenge 3.125% made in May. And I do know trade tension hurts each other now.
