what happened
Asian stock markets moved in mixed directions on Tuesday. According to Dow Jones Newswires, investors were weighing AI company Anthropic's filing for an initial public offering that could raise $100 billion or more, valuing the company at $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. The news helped US tech stocks, which pared part of their losses from a prolonged selloff.
Markets broadly expect the Federal Reserve to keep rates unchanged at its meeting this week, though a year-end hike remains possible. Allianz Global Investors' Jenny Zeng said a pause should not be mistaken for a pivot and expects a 25-basis-point increase in December. South Korea's Kospi gained 4.0% after data showed faster third-quarter economic growth, while Japan's Nikkei rose 1.9%.
Oil prices fell as traders considered diplomatic efforts to ease US-Iran hostilities. Front-month WTI dropped 0.95% to $100.79 a barrel, and front-month Brent fell 1.0% to $114.63 a barrel, according to ICE data.
why it matters
The Fed's decision is key for markets, since expectations of a pause versus a possible rate hike affect bond yields and the valuation of tech shares. Ongoing supply risks in the region keep a risk premium in crude, so any decline in oil may be limited.
