Business and Market Discussion

US stocks made another stunning comeback on Tuesday for the second day in a row as the major indices pared big losses late in the trading session. The Dow was down over 800 points in the morning session before recovering to close 67 points lower at 34,298. The S&P 500 fought its way back from a 2.8% loss to close down 1.2% at 4,356. The Nasdaq Composite Index, which was down 3.2% in the morning session, ended the day with losses of 2.3% at 13,539.

The International Monetary Fund has cut its 2022 global growth forecast from 5.9% in 2021 to 4.4% in 2022, with this year’s figure being half a percentage point lower than previously estimated. The revised outlook was led by markdowns in the world’s two largest economies. The US is expected to grow 4.0% in 2022, 1.2 percentage points lower than previously forecast, as the Fed withdraws its monetary stimulus. China is predicted to grow 4.8% this year, down 0.8 percentage points from earlier estimates because of disruptions caused by its zero-Covid policy, as well as “projected financial stress” among its property developers.

China’s Commerce Ministry said on Tuesday that the foreign trade situation will be grim in 2022, and warned of “unprecedented” difficulties ahead this year. Li Xingqian, head of the MOFCOM’s foreign trade department, said the faltering global recovery, due to Covid outbreaks, supply chain disruptions and rising inflation, will affect foreign trade. He warned some countries are cutting economic stimulus too fast which will lead to demand contractions and hit exports from Chinese industry in 2022.

On Wednesday’s Money Talk we’re joined by Alicia Garcia Herrero, Chief Economist for Asia Pacific at Natixis, Carlos Casanova, Senior Asia Economist at UBP and RTHK’s International Economics Correspondent, Barry Wood.

Alicia Garcia Herrero, Chief Economist for Asia Pacific at Natixis suggests that India, Vietnam and Malaysia are countries to look out for that could see trade benefits from the move to outsource supply chains away from China, because of their young, growing populations.

Carlos Casanova, Senior Asia Economist at UBP expects Hong Kong's economy will be weak in the first two quarters of 2022 due to a reduction in consumption and covid-19 restrictions.

RTHK’s International Economics Correspondent, Barry Wood, predicts that the US Federal Reserve will signal monetary policy tightening at the end of the FOMC meeting, Thursday morning, HK time, but the market will like what it hears.
