Märkte Asien: Asiens Börsen geben nach – Tech-Ausverkauf und Zinssorgen belasten
Die asiatischen Investoren verdauen enttäuschende Inflationsdaten aus Japan. In China rutscht der CSI300 derweil in einen Bärenmarkt.
Tokyo, Sydney, and Shanghai witnessed a significant sell-off of US technology stocks and geopolitical tensions, causing Asian stock markets to drop on Friday. The Japanese Nikkei 225 index fell 1.7% to 61,825 points, while the broader Topix fell 1.8% to 3,925 counters. In China, the Shanghai index declined 1.5% to 3,605 points, and the Shanghai and Shenzhen index slipped 0.8% to 4,003 points.
Issues in Japan extended beyond weak US cues; domestic inflation also weighed on sentiment. The Bank of Japan's core price index rose to 2.1% in September, surpassing its target and increasing the likelihood of an imminent interest rate hike. Masato Koike of Sompo Institute Plus explained that rising energy costs due to the Middle East conflict could accelerate core inflation further.
Among individual stocks, technology and AI-related securities suffered the most significant losses. Sumco, for instance, plummeted nearly 9%. Defensive stocks, such as Aeon, Sapporo Holdings, and Kikkoman, posted gains of nearly 4% each.
