    Asia report: Most markets follow Wall Street lower

    October 22, 20243 Mins Read


    Asia-Pacific markets fell on Tuesday, following a dip in major US indexes during a mixed session on Wall Street.

    Investors in the region faced a light day for domestic economic data.

    “Asian stock markets are mostly down on Tuesday, reflecting the mixed signals from Wall Street overnight as bond yields rise due to diminished expectations of US Federal Reserve interest rate cuts,” said TickMill market analyst Patrick Munnelly.

    “Traders have also taken some profits after the recent market rally.

    “The uncertainty surrounding conflicts in the Middle East and Europe, as well as the US presidential election, is weighing on market sentiment.”

    Munnelly noted that after the Fed’s 50-basis-point rate cut last month, CME’s FedWatch tool currently indicated an 87% chance of just a 25-basis-point rate cut next month.

    “Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan said she supported gradual rate cuts to help manage risks and achieve the goals.”
