Chart of the day: Into 2018 with a bang

by Nicole Elliott

In the first week of 2018, Asian currencies have been on a roll, continuing to strengthen against the US dollar as they did in the fourth quarter of 2017.

The South Korean won leading with the Malaysian ringgit and Thai baht not far behind.

Against this background, stock market gains are all the more impressive. On January 5, the Stock Exchange of Thailand index managed a record high close (just shy of 1,800 points), a technically significant break which follows on from the strong rally in the second half of last year.

Overbought, as it has been since October, bullish momentum is so strong that we favour a rapid rally to our measured and psychological target at 2,000, outlined three months ago.

A ‘double whammy’ is staring Asian markets in the face this year

Higher oil prices combined with higher U.S. interest rates could prove "a double whammy,"

Richard Martin of IMA Asia told CNBC's Capital Connection on Friday. He added that the uptrend in oil "adds about a trillion dollars a year to the import bill across Asia."

Hamish Pepper, head of forex and emerging markets macros strategy research for Asia at Barclays says that Asia is still fairly well placed to outperform other regions due to ongoing strong global
growth this year, but warns that "oil will be a spanner in the works for that story."

FORGET US-CHINA TRADE WAR TARIFFS, THIS IS WHAT REALLY WORRIES ASIA

There’s no sign – yet – that China is preparing to devalue its currency in retaliation for ever-increasing US tariffs. But if it does pull the trigger, then it would probably mean disaster for regional economies

Asia faces tougher times than in previous two financial crises, warns Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank chief

He is particularly worried about the rapid depreciation of the currencies of Asia’s emerging economies as a result of heightened global geopolitical and macroeconomic risks, and tightening monetary policies in the US, Europe and Japan.
