Asian and U.S. stock markets experienced significant movements amid speculation about changes in monetary policy by the Bank of Japan (BOJ) and ahead of key U.S. inflation data releases. The Nikkei 225 Stock Average saw a notable decline, falling over 2% and dropping more than 1,000 points, the most since October 2022, driven by expectations that the BOJ might raise interest rates. This led to a strengthening of the yen and negatively impacted exporter shares. Similarly, Japan's TOPIX Stock Index extended its fall to 3%. In the U.S., the S&P 500, NASDAQ, and Dow Jones saw declines of 10.36 points, 24.32 points, and 96.39 points, respectively, as stock futures slipped with investors awaiting inflation figures that could influence the Federal Reserve's monetary policy direction, following mixed signals from recent jobs data. The global markets' focus on the upcoming U.S. inflation report and the BOJ's potential policy shift underscores the interconnectedness of international financial markets and the pivotal role of central bank policies in shaping economic expectations.
