Daily Morning Note – 27 November 2020
PHILLIP SUMMARY
Asian equities were poised for a cautious end to the week as investors assessed valuations following the rapid rise in global stocks this month and the enduring pandemic in parts of Europe and the U.S. Oil retreated amid rising tensions with OPEC+ members. Australian shares began Friday with declines and futures slipped in Japan and Hong Kong, indicating the MSCI Asia Pacific Index will claw back some of this month’s 12% surge. S&P 500 contracts edged lower. Earlier, the spreading pandemic tempered gains in European stocks, while U.S. markets were closed. Bitcoin steadied after sliding almost 10% on Thursday.

Walt Disney said on Wednesday it would layoff 32,000 workers, primarily at its theme parks, an increase from the 28,000 it announced in September as the company struggles with limited customers due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Foxconn is moving some iPad and MacBook assembly to Vietnam from China at the request of Apple, said a person with knowledge of the plan, as the US firm diversifies production to minimise the impact of a Sino-US trade war. The development comes as the outgoing administration of US President Donald Trump encourages US firms to shift production out of China. During Mr Trump’s tenure, the United States has targeted made-in-China electronics for higher import tariffs, and restricted supplies of components produced using US technology to Chinese firms it deems a national security risk.
