>>> What to look at today - 3rd of August 2021

Most Asian stocks dipped Tuesday and Treasury yields held a retreat amid concerns the economic recovery from the pandemic is losing momentum.
MSCI Inc.’s Asia-Pacific equity index fell, with shares in China and Hong Kong still feeling the effects of Beijing’s clampdown on private industries. Internet giant Tencent Holdings Ltd. slumped on fears the authorities will set their sights on online entertainment next. S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 contracts posted modest gains while European futures declined.
The spread of the delta Covid-19 variant and signs of robust but softer U.S. manufacturing growth contributed to an overnight S&P 500 dip. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield remained below 1.20% after falling as low as 1.15%. The real yield on 10-year Treasuries -- which strips out the expected impact of inflation -- was close to a record low.
Oil held a plunge as the virus and indications of a slower Chinese economic rebound hurt the outlook for consumption. New Zealand’s dollar jumped on policy tightening bets. Australia’s currency advanced after its central bank kept a plan to taper bond purchases despite a protracted lockdown in Sydney.
