STOCKS: A limited session for the bulk of the major regional Asia-Pac equity
indices, which looked through the latest, caveated headlines re: Sino-U.S. trade
matters.
- The Nikkei 225 was the exception, outperforming as traders returned from the
long Tokyo weekend.
- Also worth flagging that the PBoC lowered the rate applied to its 1-Year MLF
ops (by 5bp), providing modest support for the major mainland equity markets.
- The 3 major U.S. equity index futures managed to register all-time highs on
the back of the trade war related headlines, but follow through was lacking.
- Nikkei 225 +1.5%, Hang Seng +0.3%, CSI 300 +0.6%, ASX 200 +0.3%.
- S&P 500 futures +6, DJIA futures +57, NASDAQ 100 futures +21.
