View on market: Volatility Prevails, Market is searching for better value
With attention on China’s lending prime rates, share indices in the Asia-Pacific area recovered Friday’s losses to trade higher. At 06:33 a.m., the Nikkei 225 was up 226.68 points, or 0.61%, at 37,295.03, and the KOSPI index was up 15.30 points, or 0.59%, at 2,607.16. The People’s Bank of China will release its one-year and five-year loan prime rates on Monday; the latter will receive more attention than the former because of its strong correlation with numerous real estate mortgages. According to Bloomberg, the Big Tech sell-off put further pressure on the US stock market, as traders continued to be wary of geopolitical threats ahead of the weekend. As of Friday, the Nasdaq composite and S&P 500 Index had both dropped by 2.05% and 0.88%, respectively. The Dow experienced a 0.56% increase.
