GLOBAL MARKETS-Asia extends global stocks rally, U.S. bond yields fall on easing inflation fears

* MSCI Asia ex-Japan +0.18%, Nikkei -0.11%

* U.S. yields hit three-month lows

* U.S. inflation data seen supporting ‘transitory’ thesis

* Dollar eases as U.S. yields dip; gold higher

By Andrew Galbraith

SHANGHAI, June 11 (Reuters) – U.S. bond yields fell to three month lows and a broad gauge of Asian shares rose on Friday as investors saw enough one-off factors in U.S. consumer price data to back the Federal Reserve’s conviction that rising inflation will be transitory.

Some economists say the rise in CPI reflected short-term adjustments related to a reopening economy, and many investors appear to be confident that the Fed is deftly handling a rebound in economic growth – even as questions remain about how it defines “transitory”.

Data overnight showed U.S. consumer price index posted its biggest year-on-year increase at 5% since August 2008, following a 4.2% rise in April. However, there were hefty contributions from short-term rises in airline ticket prices and used cars, raising some doubts about underlying inflationary pressures.

At the same time, U.S. Labor Department data also showed the lowest level of new claims for unemployment benefits in nearly 15 months last week.

In morning trade in Asia, MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan ticked up 0.18%. Japan’s Nikkei gave up early gains to turn 0.11% lower.

“Last night’s print is just one in a long string of evidence that inflation is not just rising, but is more than just transitory base effects,” said Rob Carnell, Asia-Pacific chief economist at ING in Singapore.

“But the Fed, which meets next week, can still point to no deviation of inflation expectations to back up its continued mantra of transitory inflation. The market is buying that for now.”

Seoul’s Kospi was up 0.32%, Australian shares added 0.14% and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index gained 0.53%. Chinese blue-chip shares were down more than 1% as consumer staples firms retreated following two days of gains.

Broad credit growth in China continued to slow in May, as the country’s central bank seeks to contain rising debt in the world’s second-largest economy.

“Because of very strong external demand the negative impact from credit deceleration should be OK in the next three to six months, mainly thanks to the strong demand from the U.S.,” said Larry Hu, economist at Macquarie in Hong Kong.

“(But) once the demand from the U.S. is back to normal then I think the Chinese economy is going to feel more pain from the credit tightening.”

On Thursday, U.S. stocks rallied to record highs, with the S&P 500 gaining 0.47% to an all-time high of 4,239.18. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.06% and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.78%.

The 10-year U.S. Treasury note’s yield dipped to a three-month low of 1.4340%, down from Thursday’s close of 1.459%. The 30-year yield was at 2.1270%, it lowest level since Feb. 26.

The spread between the 2-year and 10-year yield also hit its narrowest level since late February, as inflation expectations eased.

The dollar fell as yields dipped, with the greenback’s index trimming 0.06% to 90.018. The euro gained 0.12% to $1.2183, but the Japanese yen weakened to 109.40 per dollar.

Hopes for strong economic demand following the U.S. unemployment claims report lifted oil prices to two-year highs on Thursday. In Asia trade, global benchmark Brent crude was last at $72.36 per barrel, down 0.22% on the day, and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude dipped 0.26% to $70.11 per barrel.

Spot gold crept 0.07% higher to $1,899.39 an ounce on a softer dollar.
