Introduction:

Global indices experienced a mixed day with a predominant theme of concern over a hawkish Federal Reserve stance and persistent fears surrounding China’s economic stability. Asian markets dipped, led by Shanghai’s 1.07% decline, while European shares followed suit as firmer yields and China-related worries weighed on investor sentiment. In contrast, Wall Street managed gains, driven by positive performance in the oil and Amazon.com sectors, as investors closely monitored interest rate projections ahead of economic data releases and Federal Reserve statements later in the week.

Market In Focus for today – DAX 40

On Tuesday, European equities continued to decline as high bond yields put pressure on the rate-sensitive technology sector. At the same time, weakness in firms with exposure to China persisted due to concerns over the world’s second-largest economy’s slowdown.
