Asian Stock Market: Bears cheer return of reflation fears, covid woes

Shares in Asia Pacific remain under pressure as technology stocks fall the most.

The local stock market is the biggest loss since March.

Traders are looking for strong evidence to defy the Fed's rate hike.

Inflation in China is rising, Pfizer-BioNTech is receiving approval from the US FDA for the age group 12-15.

Asian traders accept offers and increase losses from their global counterparts as they enter Tuesday's European session. Uncertainty about the US Federal Reserve (Fed)'s next step joins China's optimal data to push technology stocks in the region to pessimistic conditions.


Against this background, MSCI's stock index in Asia and the Pacific outside Japan fell the most in two months to 1.86% at the time of printing. In addition, Japan's Nikkei 225 and shares in Taiwan are causing losses of more than 3.0%, as fears of debt deficits and higher inflation weigh most heavily on technology-led economies.







Chinese equities could not boast of optimal inflation data in April, as higher price pressures encourage the People's Bank of China (PBOC) to further consolidate loose monetary policy. The same stocks in Australia and New Zealand fell 1.05% and 0.62% respectively at the time of writing.


Elsewhere, Indonesia's IDX Composite could not take advantage of the rebound in retail sales, while South Korean KOSPI was able to ignore disk shortages, which fell 1.37% on Tuesday to 3,204.


On a broader scale, the S&P 500 Futures is pushing down its second consecutive daily loss, and the US 10-year return breaks a two-day upward trend near the 1.60% level. This will help the US Dollar Index (DXY) to expand on the previous day's recovery movements.

It should be noted that the pessimism surrounding coronavirus (COVID-19) conditions in India is worsening despite government claims that viral infections will decrease. Therefore, India's BSE Sensex decreased 0.70% with print time.


In addition to the stock-specific headlines, the move to China to curb iron ore prices and U.S. politicians rejecting oil shortages due to the disruption of the colonial pipeline are additional catalysts for the benefit of marketers.


From now on, the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) will be critical for global markets from Wednesday to April, as an increase in aggregate inflation data, which is more likely, could push the Fed to downward pressure.
