Hang Seng Index, ASX200, Nikkei 225: Hang Seng Stumbles Early

Market Snapshot

This morning's session was diverse. The Hang Seng Index touched reverse this morning as market risk sentiment was affected by US economic statistics from Friday.


Fears of a more hawkish Fed action in March increased as a result of the significant increase in nonfarm payrolls and the decline in the US unemployment rate to 3.4%. The ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI figures allayed the immediate fears of a US economic downturn, providing the Fed even another justification for continuing to front-load to combat inflation.


Investors also reacted to Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) and Apple Inc.'s (AAPL) dismal results and bleak outlooks, which helped to explain the NASDAQ Index's 1.59% decline on Friday.


There were no statistics or geopolitical developments this morning to influence the overall market risk attitude. The markets will require FOMC member talk to restore order after last week's US economic readings. The Fed Funds Rate is predicted to increase by 25 basis points to 5%. Any rumors of a more forceful action would be negative.
