Stock Market Today: All You Need To Know Going Into Trade On Oct. 11

Shares declined in Asia following a fourth straight drop in US equities amid persistent concern that rising interest rates and geopolitical threats will crimp global growth.

Stocks slumped in Japan and South Korea as trading resumed after holidays. Contracts for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 fluctuated while Australian equities edged higher.

At 6:30 a.m., the Singapore-traded SGX Nifty -- an early barometer of India's benchmark Nifty 50 -- was little changed at 17,226.

Yield on the 30-year Treasury rose to 3.93%, the highest since 2014, as trading in US government bonds resumed following Monday’s holiday.

The mood remains fragile ahead of Thursday’s US inflation data, with the case for another 75 basis-point rate hike likely to be strong if the data comes in hotter-than-expected.

Elsewhere in markets, oil dropped, gold was steady, while Bitcoin edged lower.
