On November 14, 2025, Asia-Pacific markets are set to open lower, mirroring the losses seen on Wall Street as technology stocks remain under pressure. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 index is poised for a weaker start, with its futures contract in Chicago trading at 50,210 and its counterpart in Osaka at 50,090, compared to the index's last close of 51,281.83.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 also lost 1.58% in the previous session. Futures for Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index are pointing to a lower open, trading at 26,701, against the index's previous close of 27,073.03.
Investors are closely watching China's upcoming economic data releases for October, which include retail sales, industrial output, and fixed-asset investment. In September, fixed-asset investment, which includes real estate, fell unexpectedly by 0.5%. The performance of these key economic indicators will be closely monitored for signs of the country's economic health.
