SINGAPORE : Asian equity markets fought for a footing on Friday, supported by an Amazon-led bounce in U.S futures, but oil's rise to a seven-year high kept traders on edge over prospects that interest rates will rise to curb global inflationary pressures.
The Bank of England raised rates to 0.5per cent and nearly half its policymakers wanted a bigger increase. The S&P 500 had its worst day in nearly a year. [.N] Meta plummeted more than 26per cent on Thursday, losing more-than-$200 billion of its market capitalisation in what was the largest single day slide in value by a U.S. company. It dragged the Nasdaq down 3.7per cent, its worst day in 17 months.
Yields in Europe leapt overnight after the ECB's hawkish turn, with the yield on benchmark 10-year German bunds up 12 basis points to an almost three-year high of 0.155per cent. Treasuries also sold overnight and were steady in Asia, with the two-year yield at 1.2179per cent and the 10-year yield at 1.814per cent. [US/]
