Global Cues
Asian shares declined Tuesday, as investors around the world continued to be rocked by worries about what’s next to break, following the second- and third-largest bank failures in U.S. history.
Tokyo stocks opened sharply lower Tuesday after a mixed Wall Street session and falls in European markets, despite reassurance from US President Joe Biden that America’s banking system is sound. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index was down 2.33 percent, or 649.86 points, to 27,183.10 nearly an hour into trade, while the broader Topix index lost 2.95 percent percent, or 58.95 points, to 1,942.04.
Sliding bank shares dragged Wall Street down on Monday with investors worried about contagion from the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, but trade was choppy and the Nasdaq composite actually ended higher as some sectors benefited from hopes the Federal Reserve could ease up on interest rates hikes.
