A Mixed Bag

EQUITIES

The major regional equity markets traded mixed in Asia-Pac hours, with no real developments surrounding the major risk factors in play at present, while regional focus continues to fall on matters surrounding China's 5-Year plan amid the ongoing meeting between the nation's top policymakers.

  • Elsewhere, there was little regional reaction to the PBoC's removal of the counter-cyclical adjustment factor from its PBoC fixing mechanism.
  • COVID-19 matters in Europe pressured e-minis ahead of the NY bell and in post settlement trade.
  • Nikkei 225 -0.5%, Hang Seng -0.2%, CSI 300 +0.6%, ASX 200 +0.3%.
  • S&P 500 futures -20, DJIA futures -166, NASDAQ 100 futures -49.
