CLOSING BELL
Asia
- 🇭🇰 Hang Seng-1.10%
- 🇨🇳 SSE Composite+0.07%
Hong Kong shed 1.1% while Shanghai finished essentially unchanged, pointing to offshore rather than mainland selling. Anyone treating China exposure as one trade just got a reminder that the two tapes are moving apart.
MARKET OPEN
Europe
- 🇬🇧 FTSE 100+0.10%
- 🇩🇪 DAX-0.15%
- 🇫🇷 CAC 40—
London opens a tenth of a percent higher while Frankfurt slips, so Europe is trading on local rate stories. UK growth and Bank of England pricing are what move the FTSE from here.
MARKET OPEN
Asia
- 🇭🇰 Hang Seng-0.62%
- 🇨🇳 SSE Composite—
Hong Kong gives back 0.62% at the open, setting a cautious tone for Asia before mainland trade gets going. Property and China policy headlines are the swing factor from here.
MARKET OPEN
Nikkei 225🇯🇵 JPX
+0.07%
416.42
