Global Cues
Stocks in other asian markets wobbled on Tuesday while the dollar and US Treasury yields came under pressure, with just a day to go before the expected start of the Federal Reserve’s easing cycle that could see policymakers deliver an outsized rate cut.
Extended holidays in China and South Korea made for thin trading conditions, with investors focused on Wednesday’s Fed decision as odds have crept up in the past week in favour of a 50-basis-point rate cut.
Japan’s Nikkei fell 0.6 per cent, dragged by technology names as they tracked a decline on Wall Street.
US stock futures were mixed. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures fell 0.12 per cent and 0.05 per cent, respectively, while EUROSTOXX 50 futures and FTSE futures tacked on more than 0.3 per cent each.
