Asian markets experienced a decline on January 7, 2025, following a drop in Wall Street shares, even as U.S. economic reports on job openings and business activity exceeded expectations. The Nikkei index remained flat, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng and Shanghai Composite indices fell significantly. Concerns over potential inflation due to rising bond yields and tariffs under President-elect Donald Trump contributed to market uncertainty, despite positive economic indicators suggesting job growth.
