Trends on SGX Nifty indicate a negative opening for Indian stock markets.

Asian stock markets weakened today after US shares fell from a record and Treasury yields touched the highest levels in more than a year as the Federal Reserve's tolerant stance on inflation unnerved investors.

The Nikkei is trading down by 0.8% while the Hang Seng is down 0.7%. The Shanghai Composite is trading lower by 1%.

Market participants are now bracing for the outcome of a Bank of Japan policy meeting where it is widely expected to loosen its control of bond yields and trim buying of ETFs, tweaks aimed at making the stimulus package more sustainable.

In US stock markets, Wall Street indices ended sharply lower on Thursday as Treasury yields extended recent gains, igniting another drop in technology stocks.

Treasury yields extended recent gains, and the benchmark 10-year yield added another nearly 10 basis points to a more than one-year high of 1.74%.

Elsewhere, a new report showed US initial unemployment claims unexpectedly rose last week despite loosening social distancing standards and improving weather.

The Nasdaq declined by 3% in its worst day in three weeks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 0.5% after rising earlier in the session to a fresh record intraday high.

US stock futures are trading higher today indicating a positive opening for Wall Street indices with Nasdaq Futures trading up by 11 points. Dow Futures are up 0.2%.

Crude oil prices fell today, extending losses for a sixth day as a new wave of Covid-19 infections washed across Europe, spurring new lockdowns and dampening hopes for a recovery in demand for fuels anytime soon.

Prices declined more than 7% yesterday, amid concerns that new virus-related curbs in Europe will sap demand, leaving oil down nearly 10% this week.
