STOCKS: Most of the major regional equity indices have clung to the positive
lead from Wall St. in Asia-Pac hours, after desks noted buying programmes
supporting the rally during NY trade.
- The latest round of fresh Brexit related worry did little to shake sentiment
in the region, although U.S. equity index futures struggled on a WSJ report
which noted that Boeing plans to halt 737 MAX jetliner production in January
(following weekend reports suggesting that such a decision could be made on
Monday, which weighed on Beoing shares in Wall St. hours), as DJIA futures
underperformed.
- Chinese equities looked through the latest round of bond default worry,
focusing yesterday's uptick in data and the scope for further easing ahead.
- The ASX 200 lagged, with financials underperforming after the APRA assigned
grater capital provisions to banking giant Westpac.
- Nikkei 225 +0.3%, Hang Seng +0.8%, CSI 300 +0.5%, ASX 200 unch.
- S&P 500 futures -2, DJIA futures -21, NASDAQ 100 futures -1.
