Major European stock indices are set to open lower on Tuesday, hurt by a further rise in US Treasury bond yields as investors remain focused on the prospect of monetary policy tightening by the US Federal Reserve (Fed). Around 7:40 a.m., the CAC 40 futures contract lost 29 points, or 0.4%, according to data from broker IG Markets. The DAX 40 contract was down 46 points, or 0.3%, and the FTSE 100 contract was down 15 points, or 0.2%. Trading will resume on Wall Street for the first session of the week, after an extended weekend in the United States. In Asia, the main indices posted a contrasting performance on Tuesday. The Hang Seng of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange yielded 0.5% at the end of the session, while the Shanghai Composite index gained 0.6%. The Nikkei index closed down 0.3% after the Bank of Japan raised its inflation forecast but left its monetary policy unchanged.

Yields on US Treasury bonds rose sharply on Tuesday morning. At 7:35 a.m., the benchmark ten-year Treasury bond rate stood at 1.847%, compared to 1.792% on Friday evening. US bond markets were closed on Monday due to a US holiday.

The euro fell slightly against the dollar but rose against the yen on Tuesday after the Bank of Japan left its ultra-loose monetary policy unchanged, stressing that the risks surrounding prices were broadly balanced. These announcements reinforced expectations that the BOJ will take much longer than other central banks, including the US Federal Reserve (Fed), to tighten monetary policy. In the coming days, economic indicators published in the United States will be closely monitored, investors seeking to assess the pace at which the Fed will raise its interest rates.

Oil contracts advanced on Tuesday morning, supported by signs of market tensions. The benchmark North Sea Brent contract is thus moving to its highest levels since 2014. At 7:25 a.m., the March Brent contract gained $1.33, or 1.5%, to $87.81 a barrel. . The Nymex-listed light sweet crude (WTI) February contract was up $1.65, or 1.7%, at $85.47 a barrel.
