Even an unexpected rebound in China’s economy failed to calm the markets

MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan slid by 0.83%, while Tokyo’s Nikkei fell 0.49%. US S&P 500 e-mini stock futures declined by 0.33%. Risk appetite took a hit due to worries about a wide-ranging dispute between the US and China over the control of advanced technologies and the protection of civil liberties in Hong Kong.

“However, the downside is limited due to very low interest rates and a brighter outlook for China’s economy.” US secretary of state Mike Pompeo on Wednesday said Washington would impose visa restrictions on Chinese firms such as Huawei Technologies that he accused of facilitating human-rights violations. President Donald Trump’s administration is also expected to take action in coming weeks to address perceived security risks posed by TikTok and WeChat, two popular Chinese mobile apps, a White House official said on Wednesday.
