Märkte Asien: Nahost-Spannungen und Ölpreisanstieg verunsichern asiatische Anleger
Investoren erwarten mit Spannung die Notenbankentscheidungen in Japan und den USA. Die wichtigsten Indizes starten einheitlich in den Tag.
Tokyo - Tensions in the Middle East and a rising oil price have unsettled Asian markets on Tuesday. A fresh attack by Iran-backed Huthi rebels in Yemen on Saudi Arabia has fueled concerns over potential supply shortages of crude oil. Meanwhile, investors have been sitting out the anticipated interest rate decisions in the US and Japan due to the tense atmosphere.
The ongoing debate over a slower development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has also contributed to the uncertainty. The broad-based MSCI index for Asian stocks outside Japan slipped slightly. Tokyo's stock exchange, however, gained 0.9 percent, while Shanghai's exchange saw a slight increase. Analyst Yokoo Akihiko from Mitsubishi UFJ Bank noted that "the markets are likely to remain focused on the risk that higher crude oil prices could increase inflationary pressure and subsequently drive interest rates up."
Tech stocks, on the other hand, saw a sharp decline following warnings of an impending AI catastrophe.
