    Asian stocks looked set for further declines Monday amid concerns about tightening Federal Reserve policy, while cryptocurrencies nursed a plunge that highlights waning ardor for speculative investments.


    Australian shares fell as did futures for Japan and Hong Kong after one of the worst stretches for global shares last week since the pandemic began. Gains in U.S. contracts held out the hope of some respite. The dollar was mixed.


    The Fed on Wednesday is expected to signal a March liftoff in interest rates and balance-sheet reduction later this year. Ebbing stimulus is forcing a rethink about the economic and market outlook.


    How the policy shift will affect fixed income is among the key questions. Treasuries initially slumped at the start of last week before rallying sharply to leave the 10-year yield just above 1.75%.


    In the volatile cryptocurrency sector, bruised Bitcoin stabilized around $36,000 in the wake of a plunge over the past three days. Digital coins have shed more than $1 trillion in value since a November high.

    Market sentiment in Asia cooled as investors continue pricing in a more aggressive Federal Reserve tightening ahead. Still, the Straits Times Index bucked the regional trend, rising by 3.90 points, or 0.12 per cent, to close at 3,283.94. Across the Singapore market, decliners beat advancers 267 to 185 after 1.34 billion shares worth S$1.22 billion changed hands


    Wall Street's main indexes ended sharply lower on Wednesday, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq confirming it was in a correction, after a diverse set of corporate earnings and as investors continued to worry about higher US Treasury yields and the Federal Reserve tightening monetary policy. The Nasdaq ended down 10.7 per cent from its Nov 19 closing record high, as stocks sold off into the market close. A correction is confirmed when an index closes 10 per cent or more below its record closing level. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 339.82 points, or 0.96 per cent, to 35,028.65, the S&P 500 lost 44.35 points, or 0.97 per cent, to 4,532.76 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 166.64 points, or 1.15 per cent, to 14,340.26.

    Singapore shares displayed remarkable resilience on Friday, defying losses across most major regional bourses, which were rattled by hawkish "Fed speak" and a tepid overnight session in Wall Street. The key Straits Times Index jumped 24.67 points or 0.76 per cent to 3,281.97, pushing through its 2021 high of 3,273.54.


    The Dow closed lower on Friday (Jan 14) with a big drag from financial stocks as investors were disappointed by fourth quarter results from big US banks, which cast a shadow over the earnings season kick-off. The Nasdaq and the S&P regained lost ground in afternoon trading to close higher. Meanwhile the consumer discretionary stocks put pressure on the indexes throughout the session after morning data showed a December decline in retail sales and a souring of consumer sentiment. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 201.81 points or 0.56 per cent to 35,911.81, the S&P 500 gained 3.82 points or 0.08 per cent to 4,662.85 and the Nasdaq Composite added 86.94 points or 0.59 per cent to 14,893.75. For the week, the S&P 500 fell 0.3 per cent while the Dow fell 0.9 per cent and the Nasdaq fell 0.3 per cent.

    Asian stocks are poised to drop Friday after a raft of Federal Reserve officials signaled they will combat inflation aggressively and the Nasdaq 100 fell to its lowest level since October.


    U.S. equity futures edged higher, but Australian equities sank at Friday’s open. Futures in Japan, China and Hong Kong declined. American stocks fell Thursday, led by technology companies -- seen as most sensitive to higher rates -- along with crude oil, copper and Bitcoin. Treasuries rose after last week’s violent rout.


    Chipmakers overnight erased gains that were driven by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s growth projections, while Boeing Co. rallied as Bloomberg News reported the 737 Max is set to resume commercial flights in China as soon as this month.

    Asian stocks look set to open steady after a U.S. inflation print left intact expectations for interest-rate increases already priced into the market. The dollar sank.


    Australia’s shares edged up at the open. And futures slipped in Japan and rose in Hong Kong. U.S. futures were little changed after commodity and retail companies led gains in the S&P 500. Tesla and Google’s parent Alphabet paced a rally in mega caps.


    A gauge of the dollar had its worst session since May as the consumer price index accelerated at the fastest pace since 1982, in line with forecasts.
