STOCKS: Tech stocks led Asia-Pacific equity indices higher on Friday, in lieu of
a positive session for U.S. chip names. This ultimately outweighed mixed
rhetoric from the U.S. re: the prospects of the Sino-U.S. trade talks.
- S&P 500 index futures breached Thursday's session highs, while oil pushed
higher, further aiding risk appetite.
- Nikkei 225 +1.1%, Hang Seng +1.3%, CSI 300 +0.9%, ASX 200 +0.8%.
- S&P 500 +16, DJIA +132.00, NASDAQ 100 +57.
