Your Morning Fix

  • The US core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, the Fed’s preferred measure of US inflation, eased to 3.5% year-on-year in October from 3.7% previously, in line with expectations, while recurring jobless claims rose to the highest in about two years.
  •  US stocks managed to close higher, capping a blistering November rally that added 8.9% to the S&P 500, while US Treasury yields jumped as Fed policymakers pushed back on investor bets for a quick pivot to rate cuts.
  •  Crude prices fell as skeptic traders shrugged off reports that OPEC+ agreed to a supply cutback of about 1 million barrels a day, alongside the extension of Saudi Arabia’s voluntary 1-million-barrel voluntary output reduction, to support oil prices as global demand is forecast to slow.
  •  The Philippines’ Bureau of the Treasury (BTr) has raised USD 1 billion from the sale of its maiden 5.5-year Sukuk bonds, priced at a 5.045% coupon, or about 80 basis points (bps) above the benchmark US yield.
  •  The BTr announced that it will reduce its peso borrowings in December amid a shrinking budget deficit that eases the pressure to finance its debt, lowering the offer volumes for T-Bonds, from PHP 30 billion to PHP 20 billion, as well as for T-Bills, from PHP 15 billion to PHP 10 billion.
