Although the Conference Board Leading Economic Index for China increased by 0.8 % m-m in April, some underlying leading indicators point to a slowdown in the manufacturing and real estate sectors in the near term. At the same time the coincident economic index for China fell by 0.8% m-m, owing to a decline in electricity production and industrial output. Overall, the composite indicator advanced. On balance, our view is that while the Chinese economy is mired in a soft patch, there is a less than even chance that it will enter into a hard landing. We expect further policy moves on both the monetary and fiscal front to guard the downside. In Hong Kong, the consumer price inflation (CPI) slowed from 4.9% y-y in March to 4.7% y-y in April as the pace of growth of private rentals and food prices slowed. In the near term, inflation is expected to moderate amid easing price pressures on the domestic and external front. For the whole of 2012, the government forecast CPI to rise 3.5%, lower than the 5.3% increase in the preceding year. In the UK, inflation moderated from 3.5% y-y in March to 3.0% in April. Going forward, inflation is likely to continue to moderate owing to excess capacity in the economy. We are of the view that softer-than-expected inflation data -if sustained in the months ahead- is likely to increase the odds of further easing by the Bank of England (BoE) to support the economy that is already in a technical recession. However, we warn that further QE by BoE will be a negative for the sterling. EQUITY MARKETS: The rebound may have hit a speed bump as yesterday's price action was a little negative for the S&P500 (lost the gains to put in an big indecision candle) and the STI (closed below the closing before the major gap down, may go lower to fill the gap today). Other indices were more positive including Europe, China, the JCI and KLCI. But inter-markets the signals are mixed. The negatives for equities: dollar index seems to be gaining momentum higher while commodities lost more ground. The positives: treasuries retreated and Spanish/Italian bonds gained. The ASX has opened lower at time of writing, suggesting a negative day. Looking beyond today, we lean more to the rebound continuing as the key risk of an anti-bailout win in Greece is seeing conservatives starting to put aside differences to join forces in preparation to form a coalition majority if need be. (Our general guidance in our morning notes and formal reports has been, as we weren't confident that econ/earnings data could outperform to drive markets, some combination of policy safety nets needs to occur to reverse consolidation/correction and push markets higher - QE3/Twist2, ECB intervention, further loosening by central banks to err on the side of growth as inflation recedes, a major China fiscal policy announcement.

Market Commentary - STI: +1.20% to 2923.75 - MSCI Far East ex-Japan: +1.31% to 451.6 - Euro Stoxx 50: +1.99% to 2192.85 - S&P500: +0.05% to 1316.63 China continues to send mixed signals regarding its growth rate.
