The decline in Asian market futures indicates a cautious start to trading in the region as investors wait for consumer and producer price data from China, which is anticipated to continue to show deterioration. While contracts for Hong Kong decreased by 0.3%, those for Australia and Japan both saw slight declines. On Tuesday, Wall Street’s equity losses started to slow down in the afternoon trade, and the S&P 500 ended the day down 0.4%. The longest losing run this year was broken by Apple Inc. As Moody’s Investors Service downgraded 10 small and midsize American lenders and indicated it would do the same with a few major companies, banks experienced a decline. West Texas Intermediate was trading below the $83 level while Brent crude was trading around that price. The yield on the 10-year U.S. bond was trading at 4.02% and Bitcoin was below 30,000-level. At 5:26 a.m., the GIFT Nifty, an early indicator of the Nifty 50 Index’s performance in India was down 24 points or 0.12% at 19,567.
