Global stocks, Wall Street futures lower amid inflation pressure

Global stocks and Wall Street futures fell on Friday after higher-than-expected US inflation dashed hopes the Federal Reserve might back off plans for more interest rate hikes. London and Frankfurt opened lower. Shanghai, Tokyo and Hong Kong retreated. Oil prices declined. Wall Street's benchmark S and P 500 index lost 1.1 per cent on Thursday, adding to declines after August inflation stayed near a four-decade high despite four interest rate hikes this year to slow the economy. On Thursday, US government data showed unemployment claims last week declined while August consumer sales rose. That gives ammunition to Federal Reserve officials who say the economy can tolerate more rate hikes. Wall Street's decline indicates no sign of relief for risk sentiments while the job market data provided the go-ahead for further tightening in monetary policy, Yeap Jun Rong of IG said in a report. In early trading, the FTSE 100 in London lost 0.3 per cent to 7,262.67 and the DAX in Frankfurt she

'JP Morgan may include G-Secs in global bond index as early as next week'

Even though the government is yet to make up its mind on inclusion of G-Secs (Government Securities) in global bond indices, Wall Street brokerage Morgan Stanley expects indices major JP Morgan to make an announcement in this regard as early as next week. On Monday finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman told an industry gathering that the 2020 budget proposal on allowing bond inclusion in international indices could not move forward as the fund flows did not meet the desired levels, due to many reasons including the Covid pandemic. Without offering any details like a timeline or the tax and stamp duty breaks that investors were demanding, Sitharaman said: "I don't know whether we're holding it back or not. I think global situation changed a lot since I made that statement in the 2020 budget. "Global fund flows have not been as big as we wanted it to be primarily due to other reasons. So it'll come to its natural, logical conclusion soon." According to the RBI data, G-Secs outstanding
