AI-generated summary

European markets are also expected to fall for the fifth consecutive day, following a negative close in the US.

Le borse asiatiche non tengono davanti all'aumento dei prezzi del petrolio e alle persistenti tensioni in Medio Oriente e l'indice MSCI Asia Pacific scende fino all'1,7% prima di recuperare parte delle perdite. Alibaba (-5,6%) e Tencent (-1,3%) sono stati tra i principali responsabili del ribasso e affondano Hong Kong (-1,1%) che con la Cina (Shanghai -0,35% e Shenzhen -0,9%) guidano i ribassi nella regione. Tokyo riesce a recuperare le perdite (-0,09%) e Seul sale dello 0,28 per cento.

L'Europa intanto si appresta a registrare un quinto giorno consecutivo di ribassi, dopo che gli Stati Uniti hanno chiuso ai minimi, a seguito delle dichiarazioni di Trump che preannunciano ulteriori attacchi contro l'Iran e in attesa della riunione della Bce e del primo rialzo dei tassi. Resteranno sotto osservazione i titoli europei esposti all'IA e ai data center, tra cui Nokia, Siemens Energy, Schneider, Aixtron, Legrand, Fineon e OVH dopo i conti Oracle, con i costi per i data center sono andati oltre le previsioni.
