Asiako txostena: Merkatuak erortzen dira Ekialde Hurbileko ezinegon berrien artean
Asia-Pazifiko eskualdeko merkatuek beherakada nabarmena izan zuten ostiralean, Israelek Iranen egindako greba mugatuaren berri izan ostean.
The incident triggered a surge in oil and gold prices, impacting investor sentiment globally.
“Global markets were rattled by fresh unrest in the Middle East, leading to a decline in stocks while safe-haven assets like Treasury bonds and the dollar saw a surge in value,” said TickMill Patrick Munnelly merkatu analista.
“According to sources from the US, these movements were in response to Israel's missile attack on Iran, which occurred shortly after Tehran's rocket and drone attacks.
“This raised concerns about a broader conflict in the Middle East; however, some of the risk-off swings in the markets were reversed when Iran assured the safety of its Isfahan nuclear plant.”
Munnelly noted that the price of oil surged by more than 4%, while the credit default swaps index for Asia outside Japan saw its largest daily increase in over eight months.
“Futures contracts for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 dropped by over 1% after the actual benchmarks experienced a sixth consecutive day of decline on Thursday, as expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut were adjusted.
“Asian stocks, including those in Japan and Hong Kong also posted losses of circa 1%.
“It is noteworthy that markets have recovered from overnight lows as the situation hasn’t escalated with Iranian officials claiming there is no plan for immediate retaliation.”

Inflation slows in Japan in March
In economic news, Japan’s headline inflation rate for March came in at 2.7%, a slight decrease from the 2.8% recorded in February.
Core inflation, a key indicator closely monitored by economists, remained steady at 2.6%, aligning with expectations from analysts surveyed by Reuters.
That figure marked a decrease from February's 2.8%.
Of particular note was the ‘core-core’ inflation metric, used by the Bank of Japan, which tracks price changes excluding fresh food and energy.
In March, that stood at 2.9%, down from 3.2% in February, and marking the first time since November 2022 that the index dipped below the 3% threshold.
