Date: 14th January 2025. Asia & European Sessions: Market Sentiment Shifts on Tariff Talks and Inflation Data Focus. Asia & European Sessions: Bearish momentum after Friday's meltdown, rising oil prices, technicals, and apprehension over upcoming inflation reports left the market heavy and buyers scarce. Market sentiment got a boost by a Bloomberg source story suggesting that President-elect Trump's team considers a gradual fading in of tariffs. The report boosted stock market sentiment in Asia and Europe. Trump team studies gradual tariff hikes . Bloomberg cited "people familiar with the matter" as saying that "members of President-elect Donald Trump's incoming economic team are discussing slowly ramping up tariffs month by month, a gradual approach aimed at boosting negotiating leverage while helping avoid a spike in inflation". "One idea involves a schedule of graduated tariffs increasing by about 2-5% a month, and would rely on executive authorities under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act." The sources said the proposal is still in its early stages and has not yet been presented to Trump. Bond yields finished marginally off their highs on possibility of gradual tariffs. The curve steepened slightly to 39 bps from 37.5 bps Friday and is out from 31.7 bps at the start of the month. Chinese shares rallied as much as PBoC to enhance policy tools, which allow institutional investors to access central bank funding for buying stocks. Coupled with a jump in new yuan loans that helped the Hang Seng to close 1.8% higher, while the CSI300 jumped 2.6%. Eurozone stock markets are also finding buyers, and the DAX is up 0.6%. The FTSE100 is underperforming, but yields are down also in the UK. US inflation is the focal point this week with key data due out, and it doesn't look pretty. Attention is on CPI (Wednesday) where we are forecasting monthly increases of 0.3% for headline and core metrics, with the y/y measures at 2.8% for the headline and 3.3% for the core. However, also due are today's report from the NY Fed on 1-year inflation expectations, PPI today, and trade prices (Thursday), along with the price numbers in the Empire State (Wednesday) and Philly Fed (Thursday) indexes. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex hit a session low of 109.33. EURCHF presents a rectangle identified at 14-Jan-04:00. This pattern is still in the process of forming. Possible bullish price movement towards the resistance 0.9437 within the next 3 days. Supported by Upward sloping Moving Average Oil prices are slightly lower, and the USOIL contract is at USD 78.65 per barrel. Gold is a tad higher at $2670.1 per ounce.

Date: 13th January 2025. Global Market Update: Asian Stocks Fall, Pound Weakens,Oil Surges Amid Fed and Geopolitical Shifts. Asia & European Sessions: Asian markets tumbled alongside European and US equity futures as investors scaled back expectations of near-term interest rate cuts by the Fed, following stronger-than-expected US payroll data. Bank of America has revised its outlook, no longer anticipating two 25 bps rate cuts this year and warning that the Fed’s next move could be a hike. Goldman Sachs also adjusted its forecast, expecting two rate cuts instead of three for 2025. Chinese equities also slid further despite data showing record exports for 2024, as concerns linger over potential higher US tariffs once President-elect Donald Trump takes office. The Pound extended its decline from last week, hitting a multi-month low. Oil prices surged to a 4-month high due to fresh US sanctions on Russia. These measures included restrictions on two major oil exporters, insurance companies, and over 150 oil tankers. China Intervenes to support the Yuan: China intensified its efforts to stabilize the yuan after the currency neared record lows in offshore trading. The People’s Bank of China, along with other regulators, vowed to strengthen oversight of the foreign exchange market, crack down on disruptive activities, and prevent further declines in the yuan. Geopolitical tension continues as Justin Trudeau stated that Canada is ready to respond with counter-tariffs against the US if President-elect Donald Trump follows through on his threat to begin a trade war in North America. Canada is the largest buyer of US-made products, purchasing approximately $320 billion worth in the first 11 months of last year. He emphasized that Canada is the top export partner for 35 US states, and any trade restrictions would ultimately hurt American businesses and workers. Recalling the 2018 tariffs on steel and aluminum under the Trump administration, Trudeau pointed out that Canada had responded by imposing duties on various US goods, including appliances, bourbon whiskey, and boats. He reiterated that his government is ready to take similar action if necessary. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex has inched up to 109.84, despite the fact that the Yen strengthened. EURUSD and cable remain under pressure. The Pound fell as much as 0.7% to $1.2126, marking its lowest level since November 2023, amid stagflation concerns and budget jitters. This extended a 1.7% drop from the previous week. “A slowing economy and widening deficits in both the current account and fiscal balances are weighing on the pound,” said Christopher Wong, a currency strategist at Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. Oil markets were in focus as UKOIL rose above $81 per barrel during Asian trading hours & USOIL to $77.55 driven by US sanctions targeting Russia’s energy sector. Gold is steady at $2686.

"To make more capable, powerful AI models, developers need a steady flow of fresh data to train their models on. However, they’re starting to run out. Current generative AIs have scraped everything from the Internet that can be scraped. The alternative is to use “synthetic” data—training data generated by earlier forms of AI instead of original sources found on the Internet. Using synthetic data is tempting. It’s cheaper than licensing datasets (an increasingly common requirement); there’s virtually no limit to the amount of data, text, or images AIs can create; and no one’s privacy is violated. The problem is that, over several generations, AIs trained synthetically develop what has been called “Model Autophagy Disorder,” or MAD, by the researchers at Rice University who discovered it. They like the acronym “MAD” because it’s similar to “Mad Cow Disease,” a calamitous, fatal brain disease that turned up in beef cattle in the 1980s when they were fed the ground-up remains of their butchered colleagues. The word “autophagy” is a combination of the Greek “auto,” meaning self, and “phagy,” to eat. After training successive visual AI models on synthesized data, the scientists found a disturbing pattern: images of faces began to show grid-patterned scratch marks and eventually began more and more to look like the same face. Images of numbers gradually distorted until they became a mass of unintelligible squiggles. “Even after a few generations of such training, the new models can become irreparably corrupted,” computer engineer Richard Baraniuk said in a university press statement. As synthetic data, and synthetically trained AIs, proliferate online, the problem will feed on itself and become steadily worse, he warned. “One doomsday scenario is that if left uncontrolled for many generations, MAD could poison the data quality and diversity of the entire Internet,” Baraniuk said. “Short of this, it seems inevitable that as-to-now-unseen unintended consequences will arise from AI autophagy even in the near term. “Without enough fresh real data,” he added, “future generative models are doomed to MADness.” TRENDPOST: If AI developers come to believe that it is no longer possible to advance generative AI much beyond its current state, two things will happen. First, engineers will switch from developing new models to tweaking existing ones and continue customizing them to make off-the-shelf versions for specific industries. Second, developers will turn their obsession with AI power from generative systems to general AI, which can reason and make decisions without the need for human guidance. That day might be closer than any of us, including AI engineers, are ready to deal with." Zgbs73
