The Euro Stoxx 50 contract fell by 0.5%, mirroring a broader trend of cautiousness in the markets.

The drop in Asian stocks from Hong Kong to mainland China and Australia followed a third consecutive daily decline for the S&P 500 and contributed to a general atmosphere of market uncertainty.

The shift in sentiment was evident in a seven-basis-point jump, in tandem with a selloff in Japanese sovereign debt.

Energy producers faced declines due to oil reaching its lowest point since June amid oversupply concerns.

Also, Moody’s Investors Service’s downgrade of its outlook on several Chinese companies, coupled with worries about the nation’s debt burden, contributed to equity weakness.

A surprise contraction in China’s imports in November further fueled concerns about the economic slowdown.

Investors are now eyeing Friday’s US jobs report following private payrolls data that fell short of estimates, indicating potential softening in the employment market.

Meanwhile, oil stabilized after a five-day losing streak, and focus is on the upcoming OPEC+ production plans.

The dollar remained relatively steady against major currencies, and as markets await the Federal Reserve’s meeting next week, there is anticipation regarding potential shifts in market expectations based on quarterly forecasts.
