Nikkei: Hohe Anleiherenditen dämpfen Zinshoffnung an Asiens Börsen
Die US-Rendite zehnjähriger Bonds liegt bei 5,3 Prozent und markiert den höchsten Stand seit 24 Jahren. Der Nikkei gewinnt dennoch mehr als zwei Prozent – getrieben von Microns Quartalszahlen.
The prospect of a pause in US interest rates has only slightly brightened investor sentiment on Asian stock markets, according to Nikkei. Data released on Wednesday indicated that US inflation in August had risen less than expected. This reduced the likelihood of further interest rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) before October.
Meanwhile, investors remained cautious due to the high yields on long-term bonds and soaring oil prices. In Tokyo, the Nikkei Index rose by 2.4 percent, with chip values particularly in demand following strong results from US firm Micron. Korean markets, however, showed little movement. The Shanghai markets were closed due to the celebration.
Charu Chanana, an investment strategist at Saxo, explained, "While the weaker US data has taken the pressure off Fed expectations and short-term returns, the concern about capital costs remains, as long-term returns stay elevated." The key US inflation indicator remained at 3.4 percent.
