Asian markets have stabilized awaiting fresh US-China trade talks.  Chinese policymakers may be more focused on stabilising the CNY and Chinese equities ahead of these talks, helping stabilise Asian markets.  Turkish asset markets remain in deep distress, notwithstanding some rebound in the TRL.  Italian markets are also likely to display ongoing stress.  Combined with fears over US sanctions on Iran Russia and Turkey, these risk factors are likely to prevent a significant recovery in EUR.  US bond yields have slipped in recent weeks, and we see increased risk that global market uncertainty generates negative feedback to US asset markets and economic confidence. More stable Asian asset markets, but ongoing heightened global uncertainty, particularly in Europe, may contribute to more sustained gains in the JPY.  Trump’s criticism of the Fed, and accusations of foreign currency manipulation may tend to further undermine global economic confidence and support the JPY.

An election to decide the leadership of Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) will be held in late September. Should Shinzo Abe lose he will likely step down from the prime ministership, even though the next general election is not due until 2021. Beyond the short-term impact on JPY, an Abe resignation would also significantly alter the course of Japanese economic policy, despite a measure of continuity in monetary affairs guaranteed by the recent reappointment of BoJ governor Haruhiko…
