Asia stocks hit 3-week top, dollar struggles

SYDNEY : Asian stocks tracked Wall Street higher on Monday while the dollar was pinned near five-week lows as investors wagered on an eventual slowdown in U.S. monetary tightening, albeit after sharp hikes in June and July.

Japan's Nikkei added 2.0 per cent and South Korea rose 1.2 per cent. Chinese blue chips firmed 0.8 per cent. "This though still implies rate rises at every remaining Fed meeting of 2022, including 50bps hikes in both June and July and at least 25bps at each of the remaining three." "U.S. economic data appear to be slowing, ECB officials are debating even faster initial rate hikes, and front-end rate differentials have started to move in the euro's favour," noted Goldman Sachs analyst Zach Pandl.

Payrolls are forecast to rise a solid 320,000, though that would be down from April, with unemployment at 3.5 per cent.
