Five Things to Know Before the Tel Aviv Market Opens
Tel Aviv trading is set to open under heavy pressure from a sharp global selloff. Asian markets led the decline this morning, with South Korea’s Kospi down 8%, Japan’s Nikkei 225 off 4.25% after losing more than 3,000 points, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng down 2.3% and Shanghai down 2.14%. Samsung fell 9%, SK hynix 10% and SoftBank more than 13%. U.S. futures are also red, with Nasdaq futures down 1.3%, the S&P 500 down 0.6% and the Dow Jones nearly flat. The geopolitical backdrop worsened after Iran’s Revolutionary Guards hit an Evergreen container ship in the Strait of Hormuz, lifting concern over Gulf shipping and briefly pushing oil higher before prices retreated this morning.
