TOKYO/SINGAPORE - Asian stocks fell on Thursday after soft Chinese economic data showed the trade war between Beijing and Washington hitting growth in the world’s second-largest economy.
Japan’s Nikkei stock index dropped 0.6%, while Shanghai blue chips turned from positive to flat and Australia’s S&P/ASX200 index wiped some of its gains to trade less than 0.5% higher by mid afternoon in Sydney. “What it does do is it puts more pressure on Chinese authorities to come to a deal with Donald Trump on trade, just as President Trump’s desire to be re-elected puts pressure on him to come to a deal with the Chinese,” Oliver said.
“Looking around the region, you’ve had some near misses of recession - Korea’s been one, Singapore’s also been one and you’ve got Hong Kong in a recession at the moment,” said Sean Darby, global equity strategist at Jeffries in Hong Kong.Worries about spiraling violence as anti-government protests intensify in Hong Kong have also soured investor sentiment.
U.S. stock futures fell 0.1% in Asia on Thursday after the S&P 500 eked out a 0.07% gain on Wednesday and closed at a record high, helped by a surge in Walt Disney Co shares.
