TOKYO - Asian shares and Wall Street futures fell on Wednesday as growing scepticism about Washington’s stimulus package to fight the coronavirus outbreak knocked the steam out of an earlier rally.
Those gains looked short-lived in early Asian trade, with U.S. stock futures falling 1.54% and MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan down 0.04%. Australian shares were down 1.31%. Japan’s Nikkei index erased early losses to rise 0.24%. On Wall Street all three major indexes jumped nearly 5% on Tuesday, one day after U.S. equities markets suffered their biggest one-day losses since the 2008 financial crisis.
Further gains in yields could be limited because there are still strong expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks will support fiscal stimulus with monetary easing.
