Grab raises annual profit view after strong first-quarter revenue growth
(Reuters) -Grab Holdings raised its full-year profit forecast on Wednesday after reporting a higher-than-expected quarterly revenue, driven by recent cost-reduction measures and robust demand for its ride-share services. A significant restructuring at Grab, which included reducing 1,000 jobs and slashing some technology costs in 2023, is helping the company push ahead in its goal to deliver positive free cash flow this year. In an interview with Reuters, CFO Peter Oey said a surge in Southeast Asian tourism, along with an increase in corporate events and concerts in the last quarter, bolstered the demand for ride-share services.

Dollar mostly flat as market mulls inflation outlook
The dollar traded little changed against major currencies on Friday as market speculation continues to swirl about the timing of Federal Reserve rate cuts amid signs of cooling yet persistent inflation and a softening U.S. economy. While consumer prices rose less than expected in April, leading to a risk-on flavor in equity markets, various Fed officials have sounded a word of caution about when rates may fall, limiting the dollar's decline this week. Futures markets are pricing in almost 46 basis points, or about two 25 bps of Fed rate cuts by December, but the likelihood of a cut as early as September has slipped.

China unveils 'historic' steps to stabilise crisis-hit property sector
BEIJING/HONG KONG (Reuters) -China announced "historic" steps on Friday to stabilise its crisis-hit property sector, with the central bank facilitating 1 trillion yuan ($138 billion) in extra funding and easing mortgage rules, and local governments set to buy "some" apartments. Investors hoped the measures marked the beginning of more decisive government intervention to compensate for waning demand for new and old apartments, to slow down falling prices and to reduce a growing stock of unsold homes. Since the property market began its steep downturn in 2021, a string of developers have defaulted, leaving scores of idle construction sites behind, and sapping confidence in what had for decades been the preferred savings instrument for the Chinese population.

Tesla has a 'massive cash problem': Investor
Financial Analyst and YouTuber Kevin Paffrath joins Market Domination to discuss Tesla’s (TSLA) stock valuation and what to expect from the company by the end of the year. “My rule of thumb this year is patience for 2024,” Paffrath says, pointing to factors like the election and CEO Elon Musk’s posts on X that make Tesla a “tough” stock. “I’d like to get past not only the election — because then I think we’re going to see politics cool a little bit from the Elon point of view — but we’ll also have gotten past the shareholder vote. We’ll have gotten past the robotaxi event. We'll see how much adoption we actually get for full self-driving, ” he explains. Paffrath also says he’ll be closely watching how much cash Tesla will have by the end of the year: “I think there’s definitely a massive cash problem and that’s why I’m just saying patience this year.” For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Market Domination.

Japan's economy skids, clouding BOJ's rate hike plans
TOKYO (Reuters) -Japan's economy fell faster than expected in the first quarter as the weak yen continued to batter consumers, throwing a fresh challenge to the central bank's push to get interest rates further away from near zero. Preliminary gross domestic product (GDP) data from the Cabinet Office on Thursday showed Japan's economy shrank 2.0% annualised in January-March from the prior quarter, faster than the 1.5% drop seen in a Reuters poll of economists. Downwardly revised data showed GDP barely grew in the fourth quarter of 2023, due to downgrades to capital expenditure estimates.
