The global stock market is a dynamic arena where economic forces, geopolitical events, and corporate developments intersect. As investors, we keep a keen eye on the latest news shaping these markets. Here’s a roundup of key happenings across international stock exchanges along with global market news.
Asian shares opened the week cautiously on Monday, with the dollar strengthening as investors assessed the timing of potential rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve following strong job data.
Oil prices declined nearly 2% as tensions in the Middle East eased after Israel reduced troop presence in southern Gaza. Gold prices also dropped 1% from record highs reached on Friday, influenced by elevated U.S. Treasury yields.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose by 0.26%, while Japan's Nikkei climbed 1%. Mainland Chinese stocks reopened after holidays, with the blue-chip index down by 0.5%, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index up by 0.33%.
Wall Street closed higher on Friday following strong U.S. job growth and wage increases in March, indicating a robust economy.
Resilient economic data has implications for market sentiment. While it suggests economic strength, it also raises expectations that the Fed may maintain higher interest rates for a longer period.
The market is currently pricing in a 49.1% chance of a Fed interest rate cut in June, with expectations shifting towards potential cuts starting from July.
Investors are eagerly awaiting the U.S. consumer price index (CPI) report, expecting core inflation to slow in March, which could influence further Fed rate decisions.
Rising expectations of U.S. rate cuts have pushed Treasury yields higher, with the two-year Treasury yield at its highest level in nearly four months.
Spot gold prices retreated from record highs, while U.S. crude and Brent crude oil prices declined amid easing Middle East tensions.
Israel and Hamas engaged in fresh talks with Egypt for a potential ceasefire, reducing concerns about oil supply disruptions in the region.
