Asian market push the global market while Wall St. supports lifting stocks

 

On Wednesday, world stocks hit a four-month high. As a result of hopes on the progress on trade talks between the U.S. and China. Subsequently, a supportive backdrop on major central banks supports by pushing risk assets higher.

Crude oil price increases, reaching 2019 highs. Therefore helps output cuts coming from top producers. That includes the U.S. sanctions on OPEC members and from Venezuela.

A rally in Asian stocks push the MSCI global equity index towards its highest starting from October upon President Trump’s talk about negotiations with China are going well. In addition, he suggests extending the deadline on completing the talk on March 1.

Asian Market: Tariffs

A lot of fears comes in the United States’s $200 billion worth of tariff on Chinese imports. Realizing that it could go to a 25 percent increase coming from a 10 percent if no resolution is made by then. Meanwhile, European stock indexes gains, having a region-wide index, reaching their four-month highs.

The Wall Street struggles after the Fed’s policy makers give a little sense of how much “patient” stace on the U.S. interest rate policy. They’ve shown how long they can last compare to their last meeting aiming for a plan of a $4 trillion balance sheet.

Jefferies analysts led by Ward McCarthy in a note says the meeting “was decidedly noncommittal, and the minutes recreated this noncommittal messages in more detail… The FOMC is on track to curtail the normalization of the balance sheet without providing any solid reasoning for doing so.”

Other stock indexes

Meanwhile, a gain of about 69.54 points or a 0.27 percent comes to the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The S&P 500 also gains about 5.98 points or  0.22 percent. Moreover, the Nasdaq composite gains 4.31 points or 0.06 percent to a 7,491.08.

MSCI’s widest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan closes at about a 1.2 percent increase. Subsequently, Nikkei of Japan gains 0.60 percent. While Hang Seng from Hong Kong inclines 1 percent, nearing its highest since August last year.

As many hope for a trade deal in two of the world’s largest economies, dovish central bank notes from the U.S. to Asia and the ECB also plays a huge part.

Currency Markets

On the contrary, the currency market struggles as the dollar index fell at about 0.06 percent. On the other hand, euro gains about 0.06 percent amounting to $1.1347 as sterling trades last night at $1.3059, down to 0.02 percent on the day.

Oil price change

Oil price increases to more than $57 a barrel. The first time in three months with support by OPEC supply cuts and U.S. sanctions on Iran and Venezuela. However, sailing U.S. production and expectations on economic slowdown keep the market unsteady.
