STOCKS: Asian stocks have broadly inched higher following the losses posted
earlier in the week. With Washington and Beijing seemingly offering conflicting
accounts of the state of the bilateral trade negotiations, the market is left
trying to decipher the current state of affairs.
- While US President Donald Trump previously indicated that planned tariff
increases on Chinese goods could be delayed, China's State Council Tariff
Committee yesterday stated that it had no choice but to take retaliatory
measures. 
- The Shanghai composite has pushed higher, trading up 0.59% on the day.
- The Nikkei trades close to unch, while the ASX 200 is similarly holding near
flat.
- Despite the additional political risk premium stemming from ongoing domestic
protests, the Hang Seng has edged higher through the session and is up 0.98% at
the time of writing.
