Asian stocks dip as China trade risks persist; more rate cues awaited

Investing.com-- Most Asian stocks fell on Monday with Chinese markets leading losses on persistent concerns over a trade war with the West, while anticipation of more signals on interest rates also kept markets on edge.

Sentiment towards China remained largely negative after the European Union imposed steep tariffs on the import of Chinese electric vehicles, despite objections from Beijing. China had also raised the possibility of a trade war with the EU over the tariffs. Chinese stocks were already nursing a steep decline from their 2024 peaks over the past two months. Focus in July is on the Third Plenum of the Chinese Communist Party, a meeting of high-level officials that is likely to yield more stimulus measures for the economy.Strength in Japanese stocks was driven largely by foreign buying, as the yen slumped to 38-year lows.
