Weaker trend on Asian stock exchanges
Asian stock markets trended lower on Thursday, influenced by negative signals from Wall Street, although losses were limited. There was a negative impact on the bond side after US consumer prices were disappointing. Experts expressed concerns about service sector inflation and rising housing costs in the US, creating some uncertainty in the markets.
Speculation about interest rate cuts in the USA led to a cautious attitude among investors. The interest rate futures markets had already partially priced out a possible cut in June, while a full rate cut was not expected until November. In Japan and Australia in particular, the sell-off of US bonds led to significant increases in yields. Japan's Nikkei-225 index closed 0.35 percent lower, while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index fell 0.44 percent.
The Chinese stock exchanges also recorded losses, with the CSI 300 index recently falling by 0.11 percent to 3,500.69 points. Weaker-than-expected consumer prices in March suggested consumer spending in China remains subdued. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index fell 0.34 percent after the previous day's gains. Technology stocks, which also fell in the USA, put additional pressure on the index. Overall, Asian equity markets remained under pressure amid uncertainty over US interest rate policy and global economic conditions.
