Asia-Pacific markets set to rise as China reopens borders with Hong Kong
December jobs report
"The big move was the fact that average hourly earnings came in lower than expected. That suggests that investors are focused intently on inflation, and whether that inflation is moving toward the Fed's target," said Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors. "Data like today suggests the Fed could do 50 basis points," said Arone. A more aggressive Fed could create more market volatility.
"It's pricing 100% chance of a 25 basis point hike, and a 30% chance for an additional 25. Peak fed funds is still at 5%" for July, he said. "The market is still expecting the Fed to go another 60, almost 70 basis points," he said. Boockvar said the end point for the Fed matters more than if it raises by 25 basis points or 50 when it next meets.

Travelers Rush to Take Advantage of China ReopeningFirst international travelers are arriving in China without the mandatory quarantine that had been imposed at the start of the pandemic three years ago. The easing of border restrictions comes even as the virus continues to spread in China amid what critics say is a lack of transparency from Beijing. More foreign governments are imposing testing requirements on travelers from China — most recently Germany, Sweden and Portugal. On Sunday, thousands of travelers from semi-autonomous Hong Kong crossed into mainland China, some having been separated from their families since the pandemic. Like other passengers from abroad, they still have to show a negative test result taken within 48 hours _ a measure China has protested when imposed by other countries.
