Stock Market Live Updates: Asian markets slide in tandem with Wall Street amid US economic concerns
Sensex, Nifty, Share Prices LIVE: Asian stock markets started the day with declines driven by concerns about the impact of higher interest rates on economic growth following weak consumer data. Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell 0.94%, while the Topix index declined by 0.77%. South Korea’s KOSPI and Australia’s S&P ASX100 also recorded losses. These declines came on the heels of significant losses in U.S. equities, with the Dow Jones Industrials having its worst day since March and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq facing their largest monthly declines this year. Investor sentiment remains fragile.
