Nikkei 225 sank 5 percent on Tuesday for the biggest single-day drop since November 2016, taking its cue from U.S. equities, which tumbled during a shortened trading day on Christmas Eve. Nikkei 225 Stock Average plunged below 20,000 and slipped into a bear market, declined 21% decline from a high on Oct. 2.
Yesterday , Asian stocks saw a volatile session Wednesday, with Japanese equities closing higher on a wave of late buying after rising and falling through the session. U.S. stock futures also swung as investors gauge how much selling pressure remains after this month’s rout. Contracts on the S&P 500 Index slumped earlier after CNN reported that President Donald Trump’s frustration with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is rising. Korean shares tumbled after a holiday there, and Shanghai stocks fell for a second day. Markets in Australia and Hong Kong were closed. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index traded near a 22-month low, with a small bounce today doing little to ease the pain of what’s been the most brutal month for global equities since 2008. The dollar was flat, Treasury yields ticked lower. US market Bounced 5% pushed by the technology
Today, Asian stocks climbed after the biggest rally in U.S. equities since 2009 offering relief from this month’s wrenching downturn, though gains were restrained outside of Japan.
Tokyo’s Topix Index closed almost 5 percent higher, leading the region, while Australian shares rallied 1.9 percent. Korean and Hong Kong benchmarks declined and U.S. equity futures fluctuated, showing limited follow-through from the blow-out session on Wall Street. Crude oil prices gave up a slice of the gains of more than 8 percent overnight. Ten-year Treasury yields are holding around 2.80 percent. The dollar surrendered some of yesterday’s advance. The yuan was little changed on the latest news on trade negotiations being scheduled for next month.
