Nikkei, CSI 300, Hang Seng: Asienbörsen schließen kaum verändert – Ölpreis und Anleiherenditen steigen
In Japan nähert sich die Rendite der zehnjährigen Anleihen der Marke von drei Prozent. Das und die hohen Ölpreise machen die asiatischen Anleger nervös.
Asian stock markets closed only slightly changed on Tuesday, as investors approached the bourses cautiously. Recent military tensions in the Iran war and rising oil prices caused uncertainty among investors. Brent crude oil prices surged above the 91-dollar mark per barrel for November deliveries, reigniting concerns over inflation and the prospect of rising interest rates.
This led to record-high returns for government bonds worldwide. The yield of 10-year US Treasury bonds rose to a 20-month high of 4.78 percent. Following US Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's confirmation on Friday of his determination to tackle inflation, investor focus now shifts to the upcoming US labor market report scheduled for the end of the week.
Surprisingly strong labor market data could be interpreted negatively by the market, as it could reinforce expectations of a rate hike, according to analyst Chris Larkin from E*Trade.
