STOCKS: The major Asia-Pacific indices struggled in the first trading session of
the week, with a modest miss in the latest Chinese Caixin Manufacturing PMI, and
the trifecta of Brexit, trade war and EM worry weighing on sentiment.
- The Nikkei 225 fell afoul of the dip in sentiment, losing 0.5% as the latest
round of NAFTA talks failed to produce a deal, which weighed on exporters.
- The aforementioned factors also weighed on Chinese & Hong Kong Stocks as the
CSI 300 & Hang Seng lost circa 1% each.
- Australia's ASX 200 was the outperformer, trading flat.
- U.S. index futures lacked clarity with the U.S. out on holiday.
