  • Weather conditions in Hong Kong saw the HKEX's morning session suspended.
  • The ASX 200 was the exception to the broader rule, where utilities, tech and financials led the march higher, while the materials sector sector struggled as coal names languished on the back of the broader attention given to the reports surrounding Chinese restrictions imposed on Australian coal trade.

  • Nikkei 225 -0.1%, Hang Seng suspended, CSI 300 -0.4%, ASX 200 +1.3%.
