Global signals
Asian stock markets were softer on Monday ahead of September US inflation data this week, with investors looking for signals on the Federal Reserve’s next likely interest rate moves. MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan fell 0.4% after US shares closed with slight gains the previous session.
The S&P 500 closed slightly higher on Friday but well below its session high, and all three major Wall Street averages posted weekly declines as investors worried about interest rates and anxiously awaited upcoming U.S. inflation data.
