Asian stocks tumbled on Wednesday as U.S. data dashed hopes for an immediate peak in inflation, although the dollar paused its relentless run against the yen as Japan gave its strongest signal yet it was unhappy with the currency's sharp declines.
After a heavy equity selloff overnight, both the S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures rose 0.2%.
"While resilient growth and slowing inflation can make for a better risk taking environment, the U.S. economy now looks too hot still. With no clear signs of the labour market slowing and inflation still problematic, a downshift from the Fed looks set to be delayed again." Earlier in the day, Japanese Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki said that currency intervention was among options the government would consider.Many traders remained doubtful that intervention was imminent, but the jump in the yen pointed to rising nerves. The timing of the BOJ's move also suggests that 145 per dollar will be an important level for markets and the authorities.
