Asia shares slip, dollar steadies ahead of Jackson Hole By Rae Wee SINGAPORE (Reuters) -Shares in Asia fell on Wednesday, weighed down by a tech-led selloff on Wall Street, while the dollar gained some ground ahead of a key meeting of central bankers later in the week. Oil prices inched higher after falling in the previous session, as traders bet that talks over a possible agreement to end the war in Ukraine could ease sanctions on Russian crude oil, boosting global supply. MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan fell 0.47%, as did stock futures in Europe and the U.S.. EUROSTOXX 50 futures slid 0.55%, while DAX futures lost 0.5% and FTSE futures eased 0.14%. S&P 500 futures dipped 0.2% and Nasdaq futures lost 0.34%, extending its fall from the cash session overnight. [.N] "The S&P 500 and Nasdaq slumped overnight as investors ditched high-flying tech stocks with their lofty valuations," said Tony Sycamore, a market analyst at IG. Adding to headwinds for the sector, news that Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) have agreed to give the U.S. government 15% of the revenues from chip sales in China, as well as reports that the U.S. is considering taking a 10% stake in Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), have stoked investor worries of the Trump administration’s growing influence on tech companies. Sources also told Reuters that U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is looking into the federal government taking equity stakes in computer chip manufacturers that receive CHIPS Act funding to build factories in the country. "These developments signal that U.S. government is heading in a concerning and more interventionist direction," said Sycamore. Other bourses in Asia were similarly in the red on Wednesday, with Japan’s Nikkei down 1.2%, while China’s CSI300 blue-chip index fell 0.5%. Much of investors’ attention at the start of the week was on a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and a group of European allies over the Russia-Ukraine war. While the talks concluded without much fanfare, Trump said the United States would help guarantee Ukraine’s security in any deal to end Russia’s war there. He later said on Tuesday that the United States might provide air support to Ukraine, while ruling out putting U.S. troops on the ground. "The U.S. is not categorically underwriting anything, any security for Ukraine, even if they’re open to provide some, because we don’t know the conditions under which they will. So there’s quite a bit of risk left out there," said Vishnu Varathan, head of macro research for Asia ex-Japan at Mizuho. Oil prices recovered after a fall in the previous session, with Brent crude futures last up 0.46% at $66.09 a barrel. U.S. crude advanced 0.6% to $62.72 per barrel. [O/R] AWAITING JACKSON HOLE All eyes are now on the Kansas City Federal Reserve’s August 21-23 Jackson Hole symposium, where Fed Chair Jerome Powell is due to speak on the economic outlook and the central bank’s policy framework on Friday. Focus will be on what Powell says about the near-term outlook for rates, with traders almost fully pricing in a rate cut next month. "Given the apparent tensions between U.S. CPI and PPI data, (it) does come across as... premature to declare one way or the other. And most importantly, given this kind of dilemma embedded within the data, it is hard to decipher whether the Fed would take or would emphasise the risks that start to mount on the job side of the equation or (the) need to sit firm," said Mizuho’s Varathan. Ahead of the gathering, the dollar firmed slightly, pushing the euro down 0.13% to $1.1633, while sterling fell 0.16% to $1.3470. Elsewhere, spot gold fell 0.07% to $3,312.89 an ounce. [GOL/]

Saudi Arabia raises oil prices for Asia: tight supply & anticipated surge in Indian demand Saudi Arabia raised its official selling prices (OSPs) for September crude deliveries to Asia for the second consecutive month, citing tight supply and strong regional demand. The price of its flagship Arab Light crude was increased by $1 from August, now set at $3.20 per barrel above the Oman/Dubai benchmark—broadly in line with market expectations. The move comes as India is expected to increase purchases of Saudi and Middle Eastern crude following new U.S. tariffs. Trump recently imposed an additional 25% duty on Indian goods in response to New Delhi’s continued imports of Russian oil. Refining sources suggest this could prompt Indian buyers to pivot more heavily toward Gulf producers. Saudi Aramco also raised prices for U.S. buyers, while lowering them slightly for European customers. This article was written by Eamonn Sheridan at investinglive.com.

Saint-Gobain sales rise as Asia and emerging markets drive growth Investing.com -- Saint-Gobain reported its first-half results on Thursday after the close, posting a 3.4% year-over-year increase in sales at constant currencies, reaching €23.9 billion. The sales increase was driven by strong momentum in Asia and emerging markets and bolstered by recent acquisitions. Operating income rose 5% in local currencies to a record €2.8 billion, despite currency headwinds. The group achieved an all-time high operating margin of 11.8%, up from 11.7% the previous year. EBITDA also hit a record, rising 7% in local currencies. Chairman and CEO Benoit Bazin said the performance “once again demonstrates the strength of Saint-Gobain’s new profile,” with earnings growth despite a “wait-and-see environment in some markets.” He added, “Asia and emerging countries continued to drive growth for the Group and Europe reported a further sequential improvement, while North America saw a slight decrease in sales.” The group made €1.7 billion in acquisitions in construction chemicals, including Cemix in Latin America and FOSROC in India and the Middle East, helping reinforce its footprint in high-growth markets. The moves are said to have contributed to a 3.9% positive impact on revenue from changes in group structure. Sales declined 0.5% on a like-for-like basis, with stable volumes on comparable working days. Price increases of 1% helped offset slight volume weakness. Saint-Gobain confirmed its 2025 outlook, expecting a full-year operating margin of over 11% and strong performance in the second half, assuming no major macroeconomic deterioration.

Shares slide in Asia as new Trump tariffs loom Stock markets have fallen in Asia after President Donald Trump suggested that new tariffs he is set to announce this week will hit all countries, not just those that have the biggest trade imbalances with the US. The comments come as he prepares to unveil a massive slate of import taxes on Wednesday, in what he has called America’s “Liberation Day”. The measures will come on top of tariffs already imposed by Washington on aluminium, steel and vehicles, along with increased levies on all goods from China. “You’d start with all countries,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One. “Essentially all of the countries that we’re talking about. But he said his administration would be “far more generous” and “kinder” than the countries had been to the US. The president’s latest comments came despite last week suggesting he might scale back his tariff plans. White House economics adviser Kevin Hassett also recently told the Fox Business channel that the tariffs would focus on 10 to 15 countries that have the worst trade deficits with the US, but did not name them. Trump sees tariffs as a way of protecting the US economy from unfair competition and as a bargaining chip for getting better trading terms for America. Concerns about a trade war are unsettling markets and creating fears of a recession in the US. On Monday morning in Asia, Japan’s Nikkei 225 benchmark share index was 4% lower, the Hang Seng in Hong Kong was down by 1.6%, and South Korea’s Kospi was around 2.5% lower. Over the weekend Trump’s advisers echoed his view that the planned tariffs could raise trillions of dollars and help create jobs in the US. His top trade adviser, Pete Navarro, pointed to huge revenues he said the tariffs would raise. The tax on all car imports could raise $100bn (£77.3bn) a year, Mr Navarro said. All the planned tariffs could raise $600bn annually, about a fifth of the value of total goods imports into the US, he added. A White House fact sheet published last week suggested a 10% tariff on every import could create nearly 3 million US jobs. All of this raises the stakes for all the countries attempting to strike deals with the US over its trade policies, including the UK. But other jurisdictions, such as the EU and Canada, have already said that they are preparing a range of retaliatory trade measures. Separately, Trump said a deal with TikTok’s Chinese owner ByteDance to sell the app would be agreed before a deadline on Saturday. He set the 5 April deadline in January for short video platform to find a non-Chinese buyer or face a ban in the US on national security grounds. It had been due to take effect that month to comply with a law passed under the Biden administration. – BBC The post Shares slide in Asia as new Trump tariffs loom appeared first on The Namibian.
