STOCKS: Asia-Pacific stocks languished after US President Trump noted that his
summit with North Korea's Kim may be delayed. Worries over the US-China trade
situation also dented risk, which allowed the JPY to move higher.
- The Nikkei 225 shed 1.25% with all the major sectors trading lower on the day,
although it was the energy space that added the most weight.
- The Hang Seng lost 1.00%, once again the energy sector lead the way lower,
although the IT sector managed to trade higher. China's CSI 300 shed 0.9%.
- The ASX 200 was the relative outperformer, only losing 0.1% as the energy
sector once again added the most weight. The real estate sector was the largest
gainer.
- US index futures also came under pressure, with the mini Dow shedding 80
points, as the e-mini S&P lost 8 points.
