Snippet Markets Week Ahead [Monday, December 6, 2021] –

Wall Street futures trade higher on new currency easing bets.

The main Asian stock exchanges ended on a fall on Monday, while futures on Wall Street operate in positive territory, as investors evaluate the regulatory perspectives for Chinese tech companies, as well as bets on an easing of monetary policy.

The index of Chinese technology stocks traded in Hong Kong fell for a third day. Mainland China stocks fluctuated and government bonds rallied amid bets the central bank will soon ease monetary policy to help economic growth.

Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang has signaled an upcoming cut in the amount of money banks must hold in reserve — which could come later this month.

China’s securities watchdog on Sunday tried to allay fears about the withdrawal of Chinese companies from US stock exchanges. Didi Global’s plan to move its listing from New York to Hong Kong sent the country’s US stocks plummeting and raised fears that others would follow.

In the US, attention is turning to US consumer prices, which are expected to show the biggest annual advance in decades, keeping pressure on the Federal Reserve to provide a quicker policy tightening. That assessment is unlikely to change after US jobs have seen the smallest gain this year.

While markets are nervous about the Ômicron variant, South Africa has reported that the variant is not fueling an increase in hospitalizations, and US medical adviser Anthony Fauci said there doesn’t seem to be “a large degree of severity” to it, although he warned that it is too early to be sure. The president of the drugmaker Moderna said there is a “real risk” that existing vaccines will be less effective against Ômicron.

Among commodities, gold operates stable and oil rose after Saudi Arabia raised the prices of oil produced in the country. Bitcoin, meanwhile, has plummeted on Saturday and operates below $50,000.
