亞洲交易時間週一早間,因美國總統大選再起波瀾,股票市場出現大範圍下跌。
日經指數下跌0.5%,跌破兩日最低點。此外香港恒生指數下跌0.3%,上證綜合指數下跌0.5%,韓國綜合指數下跌0.4%。標普/ASX 200指數小幅上漲0.3%。
美國聯邦調查局週五表示,將對民主黨總統候選人希拉裡的“電郵門”事件再度展開調查。此前FBI在前美國衆議員安東尼·韋納的電腦上發現了他與妻子阿貝丁(希拉裡首席助手)往來的65萬封郵件,其中有上千封郵件是希拉裡擔任國務卿期間使用私人服務器收發的郵件。
近來的民意調查顯示,希拉裡的支持率略高於特朗普。特朗普因其極具争議的移民立場和性醜聞而備受争議。但在“電郵門”的消息公佈後,剛剛因第三季國内生產總值而略有好轉的美股市場又出現了兩位數下跌。
IG集團首席市場策略家韋斯頓說:“在那一刻,政治掌控著一切。FBI的調查使得下註特朗普獲勝的資金增多了一些。人們開始擔心了。”
日本市場在週一也承受了壓力,因為工業產品和零售數據沒有達到經濟學家的預期水平。日本工業集團日立的半年度銷量下降,但淨利潤有所增長,集團股票因此上漲4.1%,成為市值100億以上的最佳日本股票之一。
在中國大陸傳出消息禁止人民幣購買香港保險產品之後,香港的藍籌股友邦保險股價下跌了5.9%。
韓國市場出現小幅增長,給出口商帶來壓力。政治動蕩也給證券投資者增加了很大的不確定性。上週末有上千韓國人在首爾舉行抗議,要求樸槿惠下台,因其將機密文件洩露給了“閨蜜”崔順實。此外,週五五家集團提交了瀕危運營商的初步競標之後,韓進海運股票上漲了29.4%。
與此同時,在石油輸出國組織的凍產會議宣告失敗後,油價開始下滑。卡塔爾在上個月的會議中臨時同意了高達2%的減產額度。OPEC的詳細提案預計在11月30日的十四國成員會議中提出。
亞洲佈倫特原油價格為每桶49.49美元,下跌0.4%。在澳大利亞,Oil Search的股價下跌2.1%。在日本,Inpex的股價下跌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%.
