MSCI’s broadest index of Asia shares also lost 0.4% overnight after five straight days of gains had taken it to the highest level since late August. Losses were led by Australia and New Zealand while Hong Kong, the Philippines and Indian markets were also in red. “We are expecting quite a constructive agreement between the US and China when it comes to trade,” said AllianceBernstein China Portfolio Manager John Lin. He added it was probably now a consensus view among major investors and if it proved right, would raise other questions such as whether China’s government would “keep its foot on the pedal or ease off a bit.”
