Stocks in Asia Set to Follow Wall Street Lower on Rate SpeculationStocks in Asia are expected to decline following Wall Street's lead as speculation grows that major central banks will maintain higher interest rates for a longer period. Economic data and a rally in commodities have contributed to this speculation. The opening of equities in Australia was down, while futures indicated declines in Japan and little change in Hong Kong. Skepticism about the pace of Federal Reserve easing has increased due to better-than-estimated data on US job openings and factory goods orders.

The repricing of central-bank bets, which had been ignored by US stocks during a recent rally, has now weighed on the market.
