S7E168 - Financial Market Preview - Wednesday 2-Sep

S&P futures are flat following a lower Asia session. Technology-heavy markets, including South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan, saw steep declines as investment sentiment continues to sour amidst a higher interest rate environment. Chinese internet and IT stocks dragged the Hang Seng lower, while weaker sentiment extended to India and Southeast Asia. New Zealand bucked the broader trend, gaining slightly following the RBNZ rate hike decision. European equity markets are also weaker this morning.
