STOCKS: The major Asia-Pacific indices moved higher on Tuesday, as risk on
sentiment persisted.
- The Nikkei 225 added 1.7% in the morning session, as electronics names & banks
led the way higher.
- Hong Kong's Hang Seng index added 0.8%, while China's CSI 300 added a similar
amount as Chinese linked stocks rallied alongside the cooling in trade war
rhetoric, which outweighed the PBoC draining liquidity as it refrained from
conducting open market ops.

after it cut its iron ore pricing guidance.
- US index futures also benefitted from the broader risk on tone, as the e-mini
