Sensex Today | Market Close Highlights : Wall Street ended the week lower on Friday as high-flying chip stocks fell from all-time highs and a labor market report showed more new jobs than expected while the unemployment rate also unexpectedly rose.

At 05:00 a.m. ET, Dow e-minis were down 135 points, or 0.35%, S&P 500 e-minis were down 10.25 points, or 0.2%, and Nasdaq 100 e-minis were down 33.5 points, or 0.19%.

European shares started the week on a lacklustre note, tracking a sell-off in Asian equities, while cautious traders kept to the sidelines ahead of a key U.S. inflation data due this week.

The pan-European STOXX 600 was down 0.4% by 0817 GMT on Monday, and on track for its biggest one-day percentage drop in a month, if losses hold.

Shares in Asia fell Monday as investors look ahead to US inflation data due Tuesday that is expected to show a further slowing in core prices.

Equities in Australia, South Korea and Japan all declined. The Topix index of Japanese equities faced its biggest one-day drop since October, weighed down by the tech sector which lost almost 3%. The tech-heavy Nikkei 225 index also fell with other Asian chip and AI-related stocks after Nvidia Corp. slipped 5.6% Friday.

Hong Kong equity futures went against the broader trend to trade higher, helped along by the first rise in consumer prices since August.

Economic growth in Japan expanded in the fourth-quarter, supporting expectations that the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates for the first time since 2007 as soon as this month.

Tuesday’s US consumer price index figures will dominate the economic data reports this week. The core prices gauge is seen rising 0.3% in February from a month earlier, and 3.7% on a year-over-year basis — which would be the smallest annual rise since April 2021.

Further moderation in US prices would support the disinflation narrative that broadly remains in tact, despite a pullback in the number of Federal Reserve rate cuts expected this year.

Yields in Australia were largely flat Monday, reflecting the steady trading in Treasuries in Asia.

In commodities, oil held a loss Monday ahead of reports from OPEC and the IEA this week that may provide clues on the demand outlook. Gold edged higher, extending Friday’s almost 1% gain. Bitcoin fell below $68,000.
