亚洲交易时间周一早间,因美国总统大选再起波澜,股票市场出现大范围下跌。
日经指数下跌0.5%,跌破两日最低点。此外香港恒生指数下跌0.3%,上证综合指数下跌0.5%,韩国综合指数下跌0.4%。标普/ASX 200指数小幅上涨0.3%。
美国联邦调查局周五表示,将对民主党总统候选人希拉里的“电邮门”事件再度展开调查。此前FBI在前美国众议员安东尼·韦纳的电脑上发现了他与妻子阿贝丁(希拉里首席助手)往来的65万封邮件,其中有上千封邮件是希拉里担任国务卿期间使用私人服务器收发的邮件。
近来的民意调查显示,希拉里的支持率略高于特朗普。特朗普因其极具争议的移民立场和性丑闻而备受争议。但在“电邮门”的消息公布后,刚刚因第三季国内生产总值而略有好转的美股市场又出现了两位数下跌。
IG集团首席市场策略家韦斯顿说:“在那一刻,政治掌控着一切。FBI的调查使得下注特朗普获胜的资金增多了一些。人们开始担心了。”
日本市场在周一也承受了压力,因为工业产品和零售数据没有达到经济学家的预期水平。日本工业集团日立的半年度销量下降,但净利润有所增长,集团股票因此上涨4.1%,成为市值100亿以上的最佳日本股票之一。
在中国大陆传出消息禁止人民币购买香港保险产品之后,香港的蓝筹股友邦保险股价下跌了5.9%。
韩国市场出现小幅增长,给出口商带来压力。政治动荡也给证券投资者增加了很大的不确定性。上周末有上千韩国人在首尔举行抗议,要求朴槿惠下台,因其将机密文件泄露给了“闺蜜”崔顺实。此外,周五五家集团提交了濒危运营商的初步竞标之后,韩进海运股票上涨了29.4%。
与此同时,在石油输出国组织的冻产会议宣告失败后,油价开始下滑。卡塔尔在上个月的会议中临时同意了高达2%的减产额度。OPEC的详细提案预计在11月30日的十四国成员会议中提出。
亚洲布伦特原油价格为每桶49.49美元,下跌0.4%。在澳大利亚,Oil Search的股价下跌2.1%。在日本,Inpex的股价下跌2.4%,日本石油勘探量下降3%。
Asian stocks fall on renewed worries about U.S. election
Stocks were broadly lower at the start of Asian trade on Monday, tracking U.S. losses amid expectations of a tightening gap between the U.S. presidential candidates in the run-up to the election next week.
The Nikkei Stock Average NIK, -0.18% was down 0.5% at 17357.11 points in early trade, hitting a two-day low. Elsewhere, the Hang Seng Index HSI, +0.22% was 0.3% lower, the Shanghai Composite Index SHCOMP, -0.47% was down 0.5% and Korea’s Kospi SEU, -0.64% was off 0.4%. The S&P/ASX 200 XJO, +0.70% edged up 0.3%.
On Friday, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said that it was re-examining how Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton used her email. This came after investigators found 650,000 emails on a computer used by former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner and his estranged wife Huma Abedin, one of Clinton’s top aides, with metadata on the device suggesting there may be thousands sent to or from the private server that the Democratic nominee used while she was secretary of state.
According to recent polls, the lead Clinton held over her Republican rival Donald Trump — who has hit the headlines for his controversial stance on immigration and allegations of sexual misconduct — shrank following the news, down from double digits last week. U.S. markets, buoyed initially by firmer third-quarter gross domestic product data, reversed from early gains to end lower.
“Politics is dominating everything at the moment,” said Chris Weston, chief market strategist at IG Markets. “The FBI investigation has seen a bit of money flowing into people backing a Trump win...[and] people are really concerned.”
In Japan, markets also came under pressure on Monday as industrial-production and retail-sales data missed economists’ forecasts. Shares of Japanese industrial conglomerate Hitachi 6501, +5.43% were up 4.1%, making it one of the best performing Japanese stocks with a market capitalization of $10 billion or above, after the company said its sales fell but its net profits grew for the half-year ended in September.
AIA Group 1299, -5.54% , a blue-chip insurance stock traded in Hong Kong, was down 5.9% on news that China was cracking down on money flows from China into Hong Kong insurance products.
In Korea, the won strengthened slightly, pressuring exporters. Political unrest also added to the uncertainty for equity investors, with thousands of Koreans protesting in Seoul last weekend, calling for President Park Geun-hye to resign following revelations that she had shared classified government documents with her adviser Choi Sun-sil. Among the bright spots, though, Hanjin Shipping117930, +25.00% rose 29.4% following reports Friday that five shipping groups, including Hyundai Merchant Marine 011200, +1.49% , submitted preliminary bids for the embattled operator’s assets.
Meanwhile, oil prices slid lower after a weekend meeting among members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries failed to cement an agreement to cut production. The oil cartel tentatively agreed last month to cut production by as much as 2%. A detailed proposal is now expected to be submitted to OPEC’s 14 member nations on Nov. 30.
Brent, the global price benchmark, was last down 0.4% at $49.49 a barrel, weighing on producers’ share prices across Asia. In Australia, Oil Search OSH, -2.21% was down 2.1%. In Japan, Inpex 1605, -1.81% was off 2.4% and Japan Petroleum Exploration 1662, -2.45% fell 3%.
