Gold extended its recent decline to below $3,310 per ounce on Wednesday, as easing concerns over the impact of US tariffs reduced demand for safe-haven assets. On Tuesday, President Trump signed executive orders aimed at preventing new duties on foreign-made cars from compounding existing tariffs, while also reducing levies on imported auto parts used in US manufacturing. Additionally, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick reported progress in trade negotiations with an undisclosed country. Nevertheless, gold is on track for its fourth consecutive monthly gain—up over 6%—after repeatedly reaching new highs during the period. The rally has been fueled by ongoing uncertainty surrounding global trade tensions, particularly US-China trade relations, along with growing concerns over economic strain in the US. Strong inflows into gold-backed exchange-traded funds, robust central bank purchases, and signs of speculative demand in China have further supported the upward trend.

Singapore
Singapore bank loans increased to SGD 846.5 billion in March 2025 from SGD 841.1 billion in February. This marked the largest amount since records began in 1980, driven by higher loans to both businesses (SGD 519.6 billion vs SGD 515.9 billion in February) and consumers (SGD 327 billion vs SGD 325.2 billion). Within the business sector, loans rose in manufacturing (SGD 24.4 billion vs SGD 22.4 billion), general commerce (SGD 93.8 billion vs SGD 87.5 billion), and professional, scientific, technical, administrative, and support service activities (SGD 15.4 billion vs SGD 14.6 billion), while remained steady for building and construction (at SGD 177.8 billion). On the consumer side, increases were recorded in housing and bridging loans (SGD 233.6 billion vs SGD 233 billion), car loans (SGD 8.2 billion vs SGD 8.1 billion), and other loans (SGD 68.4 billion vs SGD 67.3 billion).

Philippines
Producer prices in the Philippines rose by 0.6% year-on-year in March 2025, following a upwardly revised 0.9% increase in February. The slower annual increase was mainly driven by reduced price growth in the manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products industry (1.3% vs 2.1% in February), which contributed 38.6% to the annual rate. Additionally, costs grew at a slower pace for coke and refined petroleum products (1.6% vs 2.9%), other manufacturing and the repair and installation of machinery and equipment (1.6% vs 3.0%), and wearing apparel (1.2% vs 2.5%). On a monthly basis, producer prices declined by 0.1% in March, following a 0.2% drop in February.

China
Mainland Chinese markets were mixed on Wednesday, with the Shanghai Composite slipping 0.2% to around 3,280, while the Shenzhen Component rose 0.5% to 9,895. Investor sentiment was clouded by disappointing PMI figures, reflecting mounting pressure from the ongoing trade conflict with the US. Official data showed manufacturing activity contracted more sharply than anticipated in April, while growth in the services sector also missed expectations. The data reinforced concerns about the broader economic fallout from trade tensions, particularly as it remains unclear whether Beijing and Washington are actively engaged in negotiations. So far, Chinese authorities have refrained from launching aggressive stimulus measures, choosing instead a more measured approach in responding to the impact of tariffs. Financial stocks fell, with notable losses from China Merchants (-2.7%) and ICBC (-2.2%). In contrast, high-growth technology and consumer names outperformed, helping cushion broader losses.

China
The Caixin China General Manufacturing PMI declined to 50.4 in April 2025, down from March’s four-month high of 51.2. However, the figure exceeded expectations of 49.8, marking the seventh consecutive month of expansion, though it was the weakest growth since January, suggesting that Beijing’s stimulus measures are still supporting the economic recovery. New orders growth eased to a seven-month low amid a renewed decline in foreign sales, driven by higher US tariffs. Consequently, output growth also softened. Employment fell slightly due to signs of reduced capacity requirements, while backlogs of work declined for the first time since last September. Growth in purchasing activity weakened, and delivery times lengthened due to trade disruptions and supply-side constraints. On the price front, input costs fell amid subdued demand, leading to a fifth consecutive monthly drop in output prices. Finally, sentiment weakened to the third-lowest level since the series began in April 2012.

Australia
Australia's monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI) stood at 2.4% in March 2025, unchanged from the previous month and remaining at its lowest level since November 2024. Prices edged higher for food and non-alcoholic beverages (3.2% vs 3.1% in February), mainly driven by increased costs of meat and seafood and fruit and vegetables. In addition, prices ticked up for housing (2% vs 1.8%), health (4.1% vs 4%), recreation and culture (1.7% vs 1.4%), and education (5.7% vs 5.6%). Conversely, deflation in the transport sector worsened slightly (-1% vs -0.9%), driven by lower prices for automotive fuel, motor vehicles, and urban transport fares. Moreover, costs edged down for alcohol and tobacco (6.5% vs 6.7%) and clothing and footwear (1.7% vs 1.8%). Meanwhile, the annual trimmed mean inflation edged up to 2.9% from 2.7% in the previous month.

Philippines
Exports from the Philippines advanced by 5.9% year-on-year to USD 6.6 billion in March 2025, following an upwardly revised 4.8% increase in the previous month. This marked the third consecutive month of growth, driven primarily by higher sales for coconut oil (78.6%), gold (58.7%), other manufactured goods (39.5%), other mineral products (28.2%), and electronic products (0.9%), particularly automotive electronics (60.7%), medical/industrial instrumentation (57.8%), and office equipment (55.8%). Among major trading partners, shipments mostly rose to Japan (17.0%), Germany (16.9%), Thailand (16.7%), Hong Kong (14.5%), the US (12.8%), and the Netherlands (10.6%). From January to March, exports advanced by 5.7% to USD 19.3 billion in the same period last year.

United States
The US dollar index held steady around 99.2 on Wednesday as investors stayed on the sidelines ahead of key economic releases that could offer insights into the early effects of recently imposed tariffs. Markets are closely watching the March PCE price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge—and the first estimate of Q1 GDP, both due later today. On Tuesday, data showed the US goods trade deficit surged to a record $162 billion in March, far exceeding expectations, as import volumes jumped—likely driven by a rush to secure goods ahead of tariffs announced by President Trump on April 2nd. To cushion the impact of his new auto tariffs, President Trump signed a series of executive orders offering tax credits and relief from certain material levies. He also suggested that a trade deal with India could be imminent, while talks with Japan and South Korea were reported to be progressing.

China’s official NBS Non-Manufacturing PMI slipped to 50.4 in April 2025 from a three-month high of 50.8 in March, missing market expectations of 50.7. New orders (44.9 vs 46.6) and employment (45.5 vs 45.8) contracted at a faster pace, while foreign orders (42.2 vs 49.8) deteriorated sharply amid mounting concerns over the impact of rising U.S. tariffs on the service economy. At the same time, delivery times shortened slightly (50.8 vs 51.1). On the cost side, input prices declined for the third consecutive month (47.8 vs 48.6), accompanied by a continued drop in selling prices (46.6 vs 46.7). Finally, business confidence fell to its lowest level since September 2024.

Both housing credit (0.5% vs 0.4% in February) and personal loans (0.6% vs 0.2%) went up. Meanwhile, business credit growth slowed (0.3% vs 0.7%). On an annual basis, private sector credit increased by 6.5% in March, matching February’s growth.

Australia
Australia’s annual inflation rate held steady at 2.4% in Q1 2025, unchanged from the previous quarter and above market expectations of 2.3%. Nevertheless, it remains the lowest level since Q1 2021. Services inflation eased to 3.7%—the softest since Q2 2022, down from 4.3% in Q4, driven by slower increases in rents and insurance costs. However, this was offset by a rise in goods inflation (1.3% vs 0.8%), largely due to electricity prices surging 16.3% after a 17.3% decline, following the second-round expansion of energy bill rebates to include all households. Food inflation also picked up (3.2% vs 3%), driven by higher costs for meat, seafood, fruits, and vegetables. On a quarterly basis, consumer prices rose 0.9%, above the expected .8% rise, and marking the largest increase in three quarters. Meanwhile, the RBA’s trimmed mean grew 2.9% year-on-year, the slowest pace since Q4 2021, matching forecasts and easing from 3.2% in the prior period.

China's NBS Composite PMI Output Index declined to 50.2 in April 2025 from 51.4 in March, marking the lowest reading since January. Factory activity contracted after two months of growth, raising concerns that the impact of the ongoing China-U.S. tariff dispute will increasingly weigh on foreign demand in the second and third quarters. Meanwhile, the services sector expanded at a slower pace, with the reading falling short of market expectations.

Philippines
The Philippines’ trade deficit widened to USD 4.1 billion in March 2025 from 3.4 billion in the same month last year, as imports increased more than exports. Imports climbed 11.9% year-on-year to USD 10.7 billion, fueled by higher purchases of industrial machinery and equipment (32.9%), iron and steel (30.1%), and other food and live animals (28.4%). China remained the top import source, accounting for 28.9% of total imports, followed by Indonesia (8.3%), Japan (7.8%), South Korea (6.8%), and Thailand (5.0%). Meanwhile, exports rose at a softer 5.9% to USD 6.6 billion, driven by increased sales of coconut oil (85.5%), other manufactured goods (45.4%), and other mineral products (24.6%). The US was the largest export destination (16.8%), followed by Hong Kong (15.3%), Japan (14.6%), China (11.6%), and Singapore (4.2%). Considering the January to March period, the trade deficit expanded to USD 12.7 billion, compared to USD 11.3 billion in the corresponding period of the previous year.

China's official NBS Manufacturing PMI fell to 49.0 in April 2025 from March’s 12-month high of 50.5, below market expectations of 49.8. This marked the first contraction in factory activity since January, despite Beijing’s stimulus measures aimed at supporting economic recovery and addressing the ongoing trade war with the US. Both output (49.8 vs 52.6 in March) and new orders (49.2 vs 51.8) declined after rising in the previous month, while employment decreased at a faster pace (47.9 vs 48.2). On prices, input costs (47.0 vs 49.8) and selling prices (44.8 vs 47.9) also dropped at a faster rate. Lastly, confidence weakened to a seven-month low (52.1 vs 53.8).

South Korea
The benchmark KOSPI fell 0.2% around 2,560 points on Wednesday, ending its three-session winning streak but headed for a 3.2% gain for the month, as investors reacted to fresh economic data and earnings reports amid trade developments. On Wednesday, South Korea’s Finance Ministry said it isn’t rushing a trade deal with the US before its June 3 election, stressing due process and the need to align with its political timeline. Meanwhile, industrial production surged in March, marking a second straight month of growth, driven by strong semiconductor output. However, retail sales dipped, signaling weaker consumer spending. Among index heavyweights, chip giant Samsung Electronics was flat after a 21.7% rise in first quarter net profit, exceeding expectations, while its peer SK Hynix slipped 0.7%. Battery maker LG Energy Solution shed 2.4% despite a 6.8% rise in net profit. Traders now await for additional key data releases due this week, including trade balance, PMI, and inflation figures.
