STOCKS: The major Asia-Pacific regional indices have struggled, ex-China, with
the negative lead from Wall St. weighing from the get go.
- The Nikkei 225 trades ~1.2% worse off, the ASX 200 has lost 0.2% & the Hang
Seng trades 0.4% lower, although activity in Chinese equities allowed all of the
aforementioned to operate off of worst levels.
- The general ebb and flow was dominated by a risk off feel in early dealing,
before equity supportive measures/rhetoric from the PBOC and Chinese regulators
alleviated some of the negative sentiment. There was no notable reaction across
the major asset classes to the marginal miss in headline China Y/Y GDP. The CSI
300 last deals 0.2% higher.
- U.S. index futures have edged higher.
