HONG KONG, July 26 ― Asian shares wobbled today and bonds were firm as a profit warning from Walmart put consumption and company earnings under a cloud ahead of what is likely to be another sharp US interest rate hike.
Investors are also awaiting a likely 75 basis point Federal Reserve interest rate increase later this week ― with markets pricing about a 10 per cent risk of a larger hike, as well as waiting to see whether economic warning signs prompt a shift in rhetoric. “The market has stabilised ,” said Redmond Wong, Greater China market strategist at Saxo Markets in Hong Kong. “The focus is now on earnings.” Chinese stocks managed small gains, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index up 0.4 per cent and China's benchmark CSI300 Index up 0.3 per cent in early trade.
