Asia markets waver on hawkish Fed comments Nikkei flat, ASX up 0.2%

Asia markets wavered between positive and negative on Friday, as players digested a stream of hawkish commentary from U.S. Federal Reserve officials.

Fed officials continued to send clear signals to the market that a June interest rate hike could be on the cards.

New York Fed President William Dudley Thursday said that June was definitely a live meeting and that he was quite pleased market expectations for the probability of a June or July rate hike had moved up.

Additionally, Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker said on Bloomberg Radio that he was comfortable with four Fed rate hikes in 2016.

Those remarks followed the release of the minutes for the Fed' s April meeting, which sounded remarkably clear hawkish signals to the market.

S & P closes red for 2016 amid rate hike concerns

U.S. stocks closed lower Thursday after comments from New York Fed President William Dudley and the latest Fed minutes increased prospects of a rate hike as soon as June.

The S & P 500 erased gains for the year so far (Tweet This), while the Dow Jones industrial average clung to gains of 0.06 percent for the year so far. Both indexes were about 5 percent or less below their 52-week intraday highs touched last may 20 and 19, respectively.

" It' s really repricing our estimates of when the Fed hikes next," said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at Wunderlich Securities, noting consensus has shifted from later in the year to July.
The major averages came well off session lows in afternoon trade, with the Dow ending about 91 points lower after earlier falling 195 points. Wal-Mart closed 9.5 percent higher to contribute the most to gains, while Goldman Sachs had the greatest negative impact, giving up most of its gains from Wednesday.

" I think it' s just hangover from yesterday," Jeremy Klein, chief market strategist at FBN Securities, said, noting stocks came off lows as oil pared losses, and that Dudley' s remarks were more a reminder the Fed could still move this summer.
Stocks are " kind of hanging in there, which is encouraging," he said.

Traders also attributed part of the late-session recovery in stocks to options expiration Friday.

U.S. crude oil futures for June delivery settled down 3 cents, or 0.06 percent, at $ 48.16 a barrel, well off session lows amid more concerns of near-term supply outages from Nigeria.

Market expectations for a June rate hike moderated to a 28 percent chance Thursday afternoon, after rising to 34 percent Wednesday afternoon, according to CME Group' s FedWatch tool. The probability for a July hike was 52 percent, a touch above Wednesday' s 51 percent chance.

Asia markets lose ground as possibility of imminent Fed hike is priced in

The minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee' s April meeting, released Wednesday in the U.S., were remarkably direct about the central bank' s intentions on interest rates.

" Most participants judged that if incoming data were consistent with economic growth picking up in the second quarter, labor market conditions continuing to strengthen, and inflation making progress toward the Committee' s 2 percent objective, then it likely would be appropriate for the Committee to increase the target range for the federal funds rate in June, " the minutes said.

The market did not need to resort to tea leaves to divine the meaning.

" Despite all the caveats, the message they intended to send was that June was seriously live," Steven Englander, global head of G10 foreign-exchange strategy at Citi, said in a note late Wednesday.

Financial shares were higher as higher interest rates may spur better earnings in the sector. In Australia, ANZ ended up 0.85 percent and in Japan, Mitsubishi UFJ finished up 0.82 percent. In Hong Kong, HSBC tacked on 2.05 percent by 2:43 pm SIN / HK.

" Banks are a good hedge against higher rates, and some kick off a good yield too," Mark Matthews, head of research for Asia at Julius Baer, ​ ​ said in a note Thursday, citing HSBC' s 8 percent yield. " If the Fed really does raise rates, banks could go up a lot. "

Oil prices fell after recently climbing to the highest levels so far this year amid supply concerns after disruptions in Nigeria, Canada, Libya and Venezuela. US crude oil futures fell 1.29 percent to $ 47.57 a barrel by 2:44 pm SIN / HK in Asia trade after settling the US session down 12 cents or 0.25 percent. Brent was down 1.61 percent at $ 48.14 a barrel.

Singapore shares close lower after FOMC minutes raise interest rate worries

THE minutes of the April US Federal Reserve Open Markets Committee (FOMC) meeting that were released on Wednesday suggested that a June interest rate hike is increasingly likely, thus providing traders with the opportunity to resume short selling on Thursday.

This brought the Straits Times Index (STI) 37 points or 1.3 per cent down to 2,740.11 on Thursday, a not wholly unexpected loss as observers had described Tuesday' s 45-point jump as accounting for most of the short-covering.

Turnover on Thursday amounted to 1.2 billion units worth S $ 1.05 billion -. Average by recent standards Of this, S $ 787.6 million or 75 per cent came from trading in the 30 STI members.

Among the biggest losers and most actively traded stocks was Global Logistic Properties or GLP, which had rocketed up S $ 0.155 on Tuesday and Wednesday ahead of its results and possibly because of privatisation hopes.

However, on Thursday the counter slid S $ 0.06 to S $ 1.845 on volume of 53.8 million, possibly victim to " buy in anticipation, sell on news" . The company reported that FY16 profit after tax and minority interests increased 47.9 per cent year-on- year to S $ 719.1 million primarily due to higher asset values ​ ​ in China, development completion gains in Japan and contributions from its US business. in response, OCBC Investment Research described these figures as being within expectations and maintained its " buy" though with its S $ 2.68 fair value under review.
