The Australian dollar climbed to around $0.644 on Thursday, rrecouping some losses from the previous session after stronger-than-expected jobs data bolstered a more hawkish outlook for monetary policy. Official figures showed the Australian economy added 89,000 net new jobs in April, lifting total employment to a record high of 14.64 million—well above the forecast of 20,000. The unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%, in line with expectations. While the Reserve Bank of Australia is still widely expected to cut the cash rate by 25 basis points to 3.85% at its meeting next week, traders have scaled back expectations for further easing. Markets are now pricing in around 76 basis points of total rate cuts by year-end, down from 100 basis points just weeks earlier. Externally, investors remained focused on the evolving US-China trade relationship, with attention turning to the longer-term implications for global growth and trade dynamics.

Hong Kong stocks rose 56 points or 0.2% to 23,691 during Thursday’s morning session, marking a second straight day of gains. Traders reacted to Beijing’s decision to lift export curbs on rare earths and military-use technologies for 28 U.S. entities, effective Wednesday, allowing exporters to apply for licenses during a 90-day window. China also temporarily lifted trade and investment bans on 17 U.S. firms, calling the move a potential reset in bilateral ties. Locally, Financial Secretary Paul Chan said Hong Kong’s interest rates may remain low due to ample liquidity, supporting capital and property markets. However, gains were capped by weak April credit data from China, where new yuan loans fell to a 20-year low of CNY 280 billion, reflecting early fallout from trade tensions. Consumer and tech shares led the advance, while financials lagged. Tencent rose after Q1 revenue beat estimates. Other notable gainers included Miniso Group (2.7%), AIA Group (2.3%), and Xiaomi Corp. (1.9%).

Hong Kong Shares Rise Slightly

The Japanese yen appreciated toward 146 per dollar on Thursday, marking its third straight session of gains as persistent global trade uncertainties pressured the dollar while lifting other currencies. The yen also benefited from a broader rally in Asian currencies, fueled by speculation that Washington is advocating for a weaker dollar as part of ongoing trade negotiations. The Trump administration has argued that the relative weakness of Asian currencies gives regional exporters an unfair trade advantage over their US counterparts. Meanwhile, investors are closely monitoring developments in the US-Japan trade talks, with Tokyo aiming to finalize a deal by June. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba emphasized that Japan would not agree to an initial deal that omits provisions on automobiles, urging Washington to remove its 25% tariff on Japanese cars.

Japanese Yen Strengthens for 3rd Consecutive Session

The Shanghai Composite fell 0.5% to below 3,390 while the Shenzhen Component dropped 0.8% to 10,270 on Thursday, paring gains from the previous session as persistent trade-related uncertainties weighed on sentiment. Although Beijing and Washington agreed to a 90-day tariff reduction, analysts cautioned that the absence of a long-term trade agreement continues to cloud China’s economic outlook. US officials have also emphasized their goal of reducing reliance on Chinese imports, adding to investor caution.  Trade negotiations between the two countries are expected to continue in the coming weeks in an effort to reach a broader deal. In a positive sign, China lifted its export ban on rare earths targeting US entities, signaling further de-escalation in trade tensions. Technology stocks led the decline, with notable losses from East Money (-2.3%), Avic Chengdu (-4.9%), Victory Giant (-3.8%), Zhongji Innolight (-1.4%), and Talkweb Information (-3.2%).
