As investors shifted away from riskier assets ahead of Nvidia Corp.’s earnings and a crucial US employment data later this week, Asian markets fell at the outset following Wall Street’s loss.

Following a 0.9% decline in the S&P 500 and a 0.8% decline in the Nasdaq 100, a barometer of Asia-Pacific equities continued their losses for a third day. In the midst of the gloomy mood, Bitcoin retained its losses after hitting its lowest point since April, while the MSCI’s global stock index traded at a one-month low.

As investors considered the effects of a rising surplus versus US sanctions on Russia that have disrupted certain petroleum exports, oil prices stabilised. Following a little decline in the previous session, West Texas Intermediate dropped below $60 per barrel. Brent ended up close to $64.

Days before major producers Rosneft PJSC and Lukoil PJSC were struck by US sanctions, the price of Russia’s flagship crude fell to its lowest point in over two years.
