STOCKS
STOCKS: Japanese equities did most of the heavy lifting overnight, with focus on
the space on the back of the fact that Topix goes ex-dividend tomorrow,
prompting support for the space, with some
pointing to $4-6bn equivalent worth of purchase requirements.
- Chinese equities were the underperformers. This came after Monday saw foreign
investors sell the largest single daily amount of Chinese shares via the Hong
Kong connect since the link opened back in December 2016.
- South Korea's KOSPI was limited after Samsung Electronics issued a profit
warning.
- Nikkei 225 +2.0%, Hang Seng +0.1%, CSI 300 -0.6%, ASX 200 +0.2%.
- U.S. equity index futures took their lead from Japanese stocks.
- S&P 500 +8, DJIA +82, NASDAQ 100 +22.
