Asian markets experienced fluctuations on Monday as investors grappled with the details of China’s economic stimulus plan. While Finance Minister Lan Foan announced an increase in debt, the specifics of the stimulus package remained unclear, leaving investors uncertain about its impact on the stock market. Chinese Stocks opened strong, with property Stocks seeing gains on hopes of support for the struggling sector. Despite this, MSCI’s Asia-Pacific index dipped slightly. With Japan closed for a holiday, U.S. and European stock futures also showed a decline. Concerns about Chinese demand led to a drop in oil prices, but Goldman Sachs raised China’s GDP forecast to reflect the stimulus measures. The U.S. dollar remained strong, supported by expectations of a less aggressive Fed rate cut. Sterling and the euro weakened slightly. News on UK Inflation and the ECB interest rate decision are expected later in the week.
