Stock Market Live Updates: Asia stocks open lower; oil steadies as tighter supplies balanced by demand concerns
Sensex, Nifty, Share Prices LIVE: Stocks in Asia fell Wednesday, after traders weighed big tech prospects ahead of Nvidia Corp.’s hotly anticipated earnings that dragged Wall Street away from its all-time highs. Japan’s equity benchmark traded lower led by declines in the tech sector. Shares in Australia and South Korea also fell. Futures indicated declines in Hong Kong. The Nasdaq 100 dropped almost 1% while the S&P 500 fell below 5,000. Oil steadied as investors juggled signs of tighter supplies with elevated tensions in the Middle East and a still-shaky demand outlook. West Texas Intermediate edged higher above $77 a barrel after dropping 1.8% on Tuesday from Friday’s close. Brent was near $82.
