STOCKS
STOCKS: The major regional stock indices benefitted from a marginal recovery in
risk appetite in early dealing, as USD/JPY briefly topped Y112.00, although most
of the major indices operate off of best levels last.
- The Nikkei added 0.6% in the morning session, with the real estate and energy
sectors leading the way higher.
- In China the CSI 300 last trades 0.3% higher, although it is worth noting that
the Shanghai Comp has erased its early gains, while the Chinext continues to
struggle as uncertainty clouds the outlook for the space.
- The ASX last trades 0.5% higher, with the heavyweight materials sector leading
the way.
- U.S. index futures also ticked higher.
