Asian stocks follow Wall Street’s retreat, oil prices surge
SUMMARY: Asian stocks fell on Monday following declines in U.S. markets, where a strong job market report heightened inflation concerns. Markets in Japan were closed for a holiday, while U.S. futures dropped and oil prices rose sharply after new sanctions against Russia’s energy sector due to the war in Ukraine. Despite China’s stronger-than-expected export growth, regional stocks like Hong Kong’s Hang Seng and Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 declined amid uncertainties regarding potential “America First” trade policies from the incoming Trump administration. The Federal Reserve is expected to exercise caution on interest rate cuts, influencing market performance and corporate profits.
