NEW YORK: Strong corporate results have helped fuel the S&P 500’s climb to new highs this year, taking the focus away from the Federal Reserve’s tortuous path towards lower interest rates. As earnings season winds down, some investors believe monetary policy will jump back in the driver's seat.

Nvidia Corp's blockbuster earnings results put an exclamation point on the fourth-quarter reporting period, as the AI darling's surging shares propelled the S&P 500 to fresh record highs in the past week. The benchmark index has gained over 6.7% so far this year.

If Balian de Ibelin could short the Nvidia sky high share price to US 100, you could be richer than Jetson Huang. Lol

Property developer Country Garden hit with winding-up petition in Hong Kong

Embattled developer Country Garden Holdings (HK:2007), which is at the heart of a property market crisis China, received a winding-up petition in Hong Kong on Wednesday over its inability to repay some of its debts.

Creditor Ever Credit Ltd filed the petition in the High Court of Hong Kong over the non-payment of a HK$1.6 billion ($200 million) loan, plus interest, Country Garden said in a filing to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

The first hearing for the petition is now set to take place on May 17.

Country Garden is undergoing a massive overhaul of its debt obligations, and has held multiple restructuring talks with creditors after it clocked multiple defaults in 2023. The firm, which is one of the biggest property developers in China, has now become the face of a struggling sector, amid slowing sales, weakening prices and fears of a wave of defaults.

Peer China Evergrande Group (HK:3333), whose default had triggered China’s ongoing property crisis, was ordered to liquidate by a Hong Kong court earlier this year, after receiving a similar winding-up petition from some of its creditors.

More to come. Lol.

Japan’s stock market cheers first record high in 34 years

Hong Kong
CNN
—
Japan’s stock market has finally set a new record high for the first time since 1989 when an asset-price bubble popped, ushering in decades of economic stagnation.

Strong gains in Japanese semiconductor stocks on the back of Nvidia’s blockbuster earnings report late Wednesday helped push the Nikkei index up 2.2% to close at 39,098.68 points on Thursday, topping its previous record high on December 29, 1989.

But the index has been on a tear for more than a year, driven by a combination of stronger corporate earnings, a weaker yen that helps exporters, and an influx of foreign investors looking for an alternative to China’s depressed markets.

Smart investors follow smart money, smart money is smarter than what you imagine.

The Nikkei gained 28% in 2023, making it the best performer in Asia. So far this year, it has jumped more than 17%, putting it out in front of other major global indexes.

“This is a moment to reflect on the investor recognition that a true [lasting] bull market has been underway in Japan for some time now and likely offers further gains to come,” Morgan Stanley strategists wrote in a research note on Thursday.

One specific reason for the optimism is strong corporate earnings, they said.

Strong corporate earning and not using country reserve to support stock market is the key words.

The fundamental truth about China

Posted by Jefftan123 > 2 months ago | Report Abuse

Daniel Hurley, a portfolio specialist for emerging market and Japanese equities at T. Rowe Price, said the rally was primarily driven by strong earnings, a weak yen and corporate governance reforms.

The yen has fallen more than 6% against the US dollar so far this year, after losing about 8% against the greenback in 2023. A weaker currency benefits Japanese exporters and makes shares in the nation’s companies cheaper for foreign investors.

Japanese technology companies also have a bright outlook, as demand for AI soars, Hurley added.

since CNY, China market is on recovery and buying led by the CCP. Same as HK crash 1997, and CCP comes in to buy at the low.

the CCP sells them high and buy low now. Follow CCP do no wrong.


bankruptcy of country garden and evergrade is not beginning of crisis, it signals the end of crisis. Now, the banks, the towns, the city government will get cheap properties and can sell affordable housing to the people. The CCP is very happy. The ones who lose are the foreigners buying the bonds, billions of them and hope the CCP bails them out. only foreigners are st.upid enough to think the CCP will bail them out. No Chinese believe in such st.upidity.

For the country to sustain this rally, Japan will have to deepen its “corporate governance reforms, which will further boost shareholder returns,” Hurley said.

The Japanese government has implemented corporate governance reforms since 2013, with the aim of making businesses more accountable to their shareholders and promoting their sustainable growth.

Foreign inflows have also supported the rally, Hurley added.

According to recent estimates from Goldman Sachs, Japan’s equity funds have witnessed a cumulative inflow of $5.1 billion so far in 2024. Last year, they registered an inflow of $7.4 billion.

Last June, billionaire investor Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway added to its holdings in Japan’s five biggest trading houses.

Japan Is Doomed”

The country is being drafted into the confrontation the US is setting up with China.

But the Japanese economy is moribund, despite a current stock-market surge grounded on a depreciated yen. It has been so for decades, since Washington derailed it with the Plaza Accord.

Tokyo’s rightist leaders are keen to rearm and follow the US agenda, yet the population is anything but keen for war. The fabled “samurai spirit” was long crushed by the catastrophic defeat of Imperial Japan in WW2.

Indeed, Japan is literally a dying nation, as highlighted by its own latest government statistics. It has the world’s severest aging crisis -- and it’s worsening faster than expected.

“When it comes to monetary and fiscal policy, Japan is doomed. Unfortunately it is also doomed demographically.

“Extending what has long been the most dismal trend in Japan's civilizational history, government data showed that the number of babies born in Japan fell for an eighth straight year to a fresh record low in 2023, underscoring the daunting task the country faces in trying to stem depopulation.

“The number of births in 2023 fell 5.1% from a year earlier to 758,631, while the number of marriages slid 5.9% to 489,281, the first time in 90 years the number fell below 500,000 - the last time the number was this low the US had just dropped the atom bomb over Hiroshima and Nagasaki - signaling even greater declines in the population as out-of-wedlock births are rare in Japan

Asian stocks rise tracking Wall St; Japan, Australia notch record highs

Most Asian stocks rose on Friday tracking strong overnight gains on Wall Street, with Japanese and Australian markets at record highs amid growing hopes over lower interest rates in 2024.

Regional markets tracked an overnight rally in Wall Street as the S&P 500 and NASDAQ Composite notched record closing highs on buying into technology shares. Gains came after key PCE inflation data eased as expected in January, which fed into bets that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by June.

U.S. stock futures were mildly positive in Asian trade.

Japanese stocks surge, Nikkei 225 back at record high
Japanese stocks were by far the best performers in Asia, with the Nikkei 225 rising 1.7% to a record high of 39,920 points. The broader TOPIX index rose 1.1% and also hit a lifetime high of 2,707.05 points.

Friday’s gains were driven chiefly by technology stocks, with Japanese chipmakers and chip-adjacent stocks tracking outsized gains in their U.S. peers on hype over improved prospects from artificial intelligence. Tokyo Electron Ltd. (TYO:8035) rose 4.6%, while Advantest Corp. (TYO:6857) added 2.6%.

World’s largest chipmaker TSMC to build a second factory in Japan


Chip giant Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is upping its output in Japan as it continues to expand its global presence.

The world’s largest chipmaker will build a second semiconductor fabrication plant, or fab, in the country in “response to rising customer demand,” TSMC said in a statement Tuesday.

Japan Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing (JASM), a subsidiary majority-owned by TSMC, plans to start construction by the end of 2024, it added. The facility is scheduled to be operational by the end of 2027.

Together with JASM’s first plant, which is scheduled to begin operation this year, the overall investment in Japan will exceed $20 billion “with strong support from the Japanese government,” the statement said. Toyota Motor (TM) and Sony (SONY) have also invested in the venture.

The plants will together create about 3,400 skilled jobs, according to TSMC. The increased production in Japan comes at a time when the chip maker is facing delays at its project in Arizona.

The company had announced in 2022 that it would build a second semiconductor plant in the southwestern US state, adding to plans for an existing fab and raising its overall investment in Arizona from $12 billion to $40 billion.

The investment has previously been lauded by US President Joe Biden as a sign that US manufacturing “is back.”

But earlier this year, TSMC said the facility will now be operational only in 2027 or 2028, compared to previous expectations of a 2026 start.

TSMC, based in the Taiwanese city of Hsinchu, produces an estimated 90% of the world’s super-advanced semiconductors and supplies to global tech giants such as Apple (AAPL) and Nvidia (NVDA).

It mass produces components that are vital to the running of everything from smartphones to washing machines.
