Morgan Stanley adjusts the target prices for HSBC Holdings and Standard Chartered to HKD 149 and HKD 195, respectively, maintaining an "Overweight" rating. It is expected that the performance of banks in the Asia-Pacific region will be driven by non-net interest income in the first quarter of this year, but the decline in HIBOR will put pressure on net interest income. Morgan Stanley anticipates that credit costs may be recognized earlier, and HSBC will set aside an additional USD 250 million in provisions. Uncertainty is expected to persist in the future, with the anticipated rate cut being delayed by one quarter

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has issued its first two licenses for stablecoin issuance to HSBC and a Standard Chartered-led consortium, but industry experts believe this falls short of expectations. Analysts are calling for broader access to licenses for non-bank issuers and technology start-ups in future rounds. The HKMA's conservative approach prioritizes risk management, and the approvals are seen as a step towards establishing Hong Kong as a global digital asset hub. HSBC plans to launch a Hong Kong dollar-backed stablecoin, while the joint venture aims to target institutional investors with its own stablecoin.

- The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has granted its first two licences for stablecoin issuance to HSBC and a joint venture led by Standard Chartered, but industry stakeholders expected more licences and a wider range of issuers.  
- The HKMA's cautious approach highlights its focus on risk management while seeking to promote financial innovation.  
- Future calls for broader access may lead to licences for non-bank issuers, potentially expanding the scope of digital currencies in Hong Kong.

Animoca Brands announced on its X platform that Dingdian Fintech, a joint venture established by Standard Chartered Bank, HKT and Animoca Brands, will begin phased development of the regulated Hong Kong dollar-backed stablecoin HKDAP (HKD At Par) starting in the second quarter of this year. Group President Evan Auyang stated that a properly governed Hong Kong dollar-backed stablecoin is crucial to Hong Kong's financial infrastructure.

I expect MAS will tighten its monetary policy tomorrow. This should benefit stocks like the three big banks and consumer staples.

☕️ [Task Coins Giveaway] Daily Market Talk

MAS is more on the side of &#34;fighting inflation,&#34; but will do so in a very cautious manner, rather than turning fully hawkish.In other words, it's less like &#34;completely standing on the sidelines,&#34; and more like gently tapping the brakes first, then watching oil prices and the Middle East situation.

market kinda resilient despite talks failed with no deal. probably will gain back or go above Fri closing later.

There is no point in trading the energy spike as the events flip-flops constantly. Staying out of this sector and just invest in areas within my circle of competence, like banks, REITs, Etc.

Firstly, I believe MAS will opt for a moderate strengthening of the SGD rather than implementing aggressive monetary policy changes tomorrow. It is challenging to strike a balance between controlling inflation and maintaining stable unemployment levels. Strong SGD is bad for export industry, especially electronic and pharmaceutical sectors.Lastly, I think the EV automotive, nickel, and solar panel industries stand to benefit from higher energy costs, while most other sectors are likely to be negatively impacted by rising energy expenses.

U.S.-Iran negotiations break down — Trump warns of possible limited military action. The U.S. Navy will begin blockading all maritime traffic in and out of Iranian ports. Oil prices surge.This alone is enough to cause widespread investment anxiety in the investment field. Cash is the king.

US Iran war is just noise, everyone should ignore the noise and engage in proper risk management. It risk of downside is worse than losing the upside.

US Iran talks do not seem to be going anywhere. Too many uncertainties, will be cautious while taking advantage of opportunities

RHB is correct, any supportive measure is not a permenant solution. There is only 1 permenant solution, which is open the straits. The international will needs to be stronger.

Too much uncertainty with stretched valuations. Market resilient so far but volume is tepid. Make whatever of it but I am staying cautious and defensive.
