STOCKS: Asia-Pacific indices couldn't latch onto the modest bid observed in U.S.
futures, giving way in the first session of the week, with Japan out on holiday.
- The Hang Seng shed around 0.5% with the health care sector leading the way
lower, with only IT & utilities in the green, with some question marks hanging
over the eligibility of some HK shares for southbound investment out of China.
ZTE outperformed, following the U.S. lifting the ban on the company's operations
after a $1.4bn fee was paid.
- The CSI shed some 0.9%.
- Australia's ASX fell by 0.3% with health care once again leading the way
lower, although the heavyweight materials and financial sectors also weighed.
