STOCKS: Asia's regional indices traded in mixed fashion on Monday, after the
bulk of the benchmarks managed to shake off their morning losses. Tech names
took a hit across the board after reports suggested that Apple may begin to make
its own iPhone displays.
- The Nikkei 225 traded lower, coming under pressure from a stronger JPY as
support for PM Abe cratered in the latest round of opinion polls. Electronics
names lagged as a result.
- The Hang Seng managed to reverse its earlier losses to trade 0.255 higher with
oil names leading the way, although Li Ka-shing's companies fell after he
announced his retirement on Friday. China's CSI 300 traded 0.3% higher.
- The ASX 200 was 0.4% higher as energy names led the way following Friday's
rally in oil prices, while Consumer Staples lagged.
- US index futures were lower across the board with the e-mini S&P 6 points
lower, while the mini Dow lost nearly 60 points.
