Key arguments
- Higher oil prices and Treasury yields weighed on US equities, with the S&P 500 down 0.8%.
- US-Iran talks with Qatari mediators continue, but oil stayed elevated amid uncertainty over a deal and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
- US credit spreads widened, with US High Yield up 9bps to 303bps and US Investment Grade up 2bps to 82bps.
- Asia credit was mixed: Asia USD IG widened 1bp to 56bps while Asia USD HY tightened 1bp to 330bps.
Key numbers
- Brent settlement
- USD105.3/bbl (+0.9%)
- US 10Y yield
- 5.25% (about +7bps)
- October hike probability
- about 70% for 25bp
- Singapore IP (August)
- +15.4% y/y; -0.5% m/m SA
- China industrial profits (Jan-Aug)
- +15.7% y/y; August +4.2%
Main risks
- If US-Iran talks collapse, oil could rise further, adding to inflation and yield pressure.
- Markets price about a 70% chance of an October 25bp hike; a shift in that pricing could move credit spreads.
- China's August retail sales growth of 0.4% and slowing industrial profit growth point to uneven domestic demand.
Corresponding source evidence
Looking ahead, we expect industrial production to grow 6.0% y/y for the remaining four months of the year, which would bring full-year manufacturing growth to 9.0% y/y.
Capital goods output remained particularly strong at 16.9%, pointing to continued investment momentum, while softer consumer non-durables growth suggests the expansion remains more investment-led than consumption-led.
