STOCKS: The Nikkei 225 played catch up after the long weekend in Japan, but the
remainder of the major regional equity markets traded either side of mixed
during Asia hours, with caution re: the Sino-U.S. trade war evident.
- Outside of that the latest Chinese inflation data (which saw CPI & PPI conform
to their recent respective trends) and the minutes from the latest RBA MonPol
decision, there was little to go off of.
- U.S. equity markets will have to digest major earnings releases over the next
24 hours, with J&J, United Health, Citi, BofAML, Wells Fargo, JPM, Goldman Sachs
& BlackRock providing the highlights.
- Nikkei 225 +1.7%, Hang Seng -0.1%, CSI 300 -0.6%, ASX 200 unch.
- S&P 500 futures +5, DJIA futures +42, NASDAQ 100 futures +15.
