- Equity markets in the region are mixed so far today with the ASX down 0.2% and Hang Seng -0.6% but the CSI 300 +0.1%, Nikkei +0.1% and S&P e-minis +0.2%. WTI oil prices are up around 0.8% to $77.50/bbl as the demand outlook from China has improved. Iron ore is also up on demand prospects at around $108.50.
