Hong Kong — Asian stocks dithered on Tuesday as investors grappled with inflation concerns in the wake of the surprise cuts to the Opec+ group’s oil output targets, while treasury yields retreated after frail US manufacturing data.
“A weakening trend has been in place since May last year, but recent banking turmoil may have dented confidence further,” ANZ analysts said in a note. On Monday, gains in energy shares helped lift world stock indices following the Opec+ group’s surprise new production cuts that could push oil prices towards $100 a barrel.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 0.98%, the S&P 500 gained 0.37% and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.27%. Treasury yields retreated after the US manufacturing data increased expectations for some investors the Fed will cut rates later this year as the economy slows. Separate data also showed US construction spending weakened in February.
I was hoping they wait little bid more so that we can get oil cheaper from Russia.
