A muted session for Asian equities overnight as Chinese stocks settled marginally higher and Japanese indices closed broadly unchanged.
US – US stocks closed 0.2% lower Friday, erasing intra-day gains into the close as US political risk continued to dominate. Steve Bannon, President Trump’s chief strategist, became the latest high-ranking official to leave the White House on Friday. – The standout fall in stocks for the session came from the retail sector, with Footlocker’s share price declining 28% on poor results, highlighting the pressure that online retailing continues to have on traditional brick and mortar businesses. – Oil prices, however, bucked the trend among risk assets, gaining 3.3% following positive US inventories data.
Europe – European equities mirrored moves in the US, trading 0.5% lower. Real Estate and Media stocks were the primary underperformers for the session. – A key area of focus for markets this week will be the annual gathering of central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, which begins this Thursday. Markets will be looking for any details of how central banks will exit from their ultra-accommodative policies, with a key focus on a speech to be delivered by ECB President Mario Draghi.
Asia – Asian equities were mixed overnight. Chinese equities rose 0.5% as investors favoured growth markets in Hong Kong and Shanghai. – Japanese stocks, however, declined 0.4% as angst over terrorist attacks in Europe and simmering tensions between the US and Japan’s neighbour North Korea have been a boon to the yen as a safe-haven. |

Atlas Copco
Q2 slowdown contrasts with Q1 strength
Q2 results released yesterday for Atlas Copco, leading Swedish industrial (leader in industrial tools and compressor technology), highlighted strong, but weaker-than-expected, growth in sales (+18% yoy vs +22% expected) and adjusted operating profits (+30% yoy vs +34% expected). Market expectations had risen after a very strong Q1, but Q2 results highlighted a surprising lack of improvement in pricing power for the company in the period. Consensus earnings forecasts are likely to be revised down by low single digit percentages. Following yesterday’s almost 7% drop in the share price, Atlas Copco, held in the Goodbody Global Leaders fund, has risen 12% in 2017.

Chinese equities initially sold off at the open of trade, likely reflecting the stories of potentially more stringent financial regulation following the PBOC conference over the weekend. However, indices recovered from the lows following the GDP data release, ultimately settling 1.7% lower.
