U.S. equity futures fluctuated and Asian stocks were steady Monday as traders weighed the volatile slump in cryptocurrencies, the inflation outlook and China’s intensifying effort to cool raw-materials prices.
Shares posted modest gains in Japan, China and Australia but retreated in Hong Kong. S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and European equity contracts oscillated after U.S. stocks closed mixed on Friday. Bitcoin advanced to about $35,100 following another weekend of big swings.
The stalling commodities boom remains in focus as China tries to temper speculation, with the nation vowing severe punishment for violations ranging from excessive speculation to spreading fake news.
Market-based gauges of inflation expectations have declined of late, but concerns linger that the post-pandemic recovery could stoke price pressures and force a pullback in extraordinary central bank support. Treasury yields and the dollar were steady.
