Asian stocks opened slightly higher Tuesday amid fragile sentiment following a choppy session on Wall Street and ahead of a slew of Chinese economic data.
West Texas Intermediate crude benchmark fell 3.3% to $86.06 per barrel, while gold rose 0.2%. Bitcoin rose 1.2% to $16,600-level as optimism returned to the volatile market on plans of Binance Holdings to form a recovery fund to mitigate headwinds from the FTX meltdown.
Back home, Indian benchmarks indices Sensex and Nifty closed lower, dragged by losses in FMCG, power, utilities and capital goods stocks.
Rupee wiped early gains against the U.S. dollar, dropping 0.54% against the greenback.
At 6:40 a.m., the Singapore-traded SGX Nifty -- an early barometer of India's benchmark Nifty 50 -- rose 0.15% to 18,405.5.
