Asian Stocks to Follow US Lower as Yields Climb: Markets Wrap

-- Asian stocks are set to fall after bonds and shares fell in the US, as another weak sale of Treasuries boosted concern that funding the US deficit will drive up yields at a time when the Federal Reserve is in no rush to cut rates.Futures for equity benchmarks in Sydney, Tokyo and Hong Kong all signaled markets will open lower on Thursday.

“The ‘set-up’ right now is quickly becoming a concern,” said Matt Maley at Miller Tabak + Co. “Not only are yields rising again in the US, but they are moving higher in other parts of the world. That is not good news for a stock market that’s trading at 22 times forward earnings.”A gauge of dollar strength jumped to a two-week high, while the yen fell for a second day to the weakest against the greenback in four weeks.

Elsewhere, oil retreated with West Texas Intermediate settling below $80. The drop pared Tuesday’s 2.7% gain in the wake of renewed geopolitical risks, including ship attacks in the Red Sea and Israel’s advance into the Gazan city of Rafah.ConocoPhillips agreed to acquire Marathon Oil Corp. in an all-stock deal valuing the company at about $17 billion, extending a major buying spree among the largest players in the US oil and gas industry.
