Shares drop in Asia as oil rises, rate hikes loom

Asian equity markets declined Monday as oil prices rose to $103 and investors feared further interest rate hikes. Losses were driven by a slide in AI-linked stocks and chipmakers, following a downward trend on Wall Street and falling U.S. futures. Emerging-market shares also dropped due to Middle East tensions and rate risks. While some markets remained mixed, the general trend reflected investor anxiety over supply concerns in the Middle East and pending U.S. inflation data.

  1. Asian stocks slide as oil hits $103 and rate hike fears grow

    Asian equity markets declined Monday as oil prices rose to $103 and investors feared further interest rate hikes. Losses were driven by a slide in AI-linked stocks and chipmakers, following a downward trend on Wall Street and falling U.S. futures. Emerging-market shares also dropped due to Middle East tensions and rate risks. While some markets remained mixed, the general trend reflected investor anxiety over supply concerns in the Middle East and pending U.S. inflation data.

    Why it matters

    Rising oil prices threaten global growth and can trigger inflation, prompting central banks to maintain higher interest rates. AI stocks have recently faced volatility due to calls from figures like Elon Musk and Sam Altman to slow development, which may increase capital expenditures.

    What is confirmed

    • Asian stock markets declined following a slide on Wall Street.
    • Oil prices reached $103.
    • AI-linked shares and chipmakers fell across Asia, Europe, and the U.S.
    • Emerging-market stocks declined due to rate risks and tensions in the Middle East.

    Still unconfirmed

    • Amundi is buying two-year US Treasuries to hedge an oil-driven growth slowdown.

    What to watch next

    • Further movements in Middle East supply stability
    • Changes in U.S. Treasury yields beyond 4.5%
