Description
Asian stock markets experienced a mixed day, with some indexes rallying due to hopes of Fed interest rate cuts, while others faltered following signals from the Bank of Japan. The Nikkei two hundred twenty-five, Japans main index, dropped by one point four percent as investors reacted to the Bank of Japans potential shift away from negative interest rates. Other Asian markets showed varied results, with Hong Kongs Hang Seng index up by zero point five percent and Chinas Shanghai Shenzhen CSI three hundred down by zero point three percent. The US dollar weakened in Asian trading, with markets predicting a higher chance of Fed rate cuts by March 2024.
