Evening Headlines
Bloomberg:
- Asia Stocks Signal Decline on Trade; Kiwi Slips. Asia stocks looked set to drop as China hit back against the Trump administration’s latest tariffs and tensions ratcheted up between the U.S. and Russia. Oil tumbled. Futures pointed to a lower open for stocks in Hong Kong, Japan and China. The S&P 500 Index was little changed, remaining about half a percentage point shy of its all-time record. Treasuries edged up as investors scooped up a record $26 billion 10-year auction. The ruble slumped as the U.S. announced new sanctions on Russia. The kiwi declined after the New Zealand central bank pushed out its forecast for a rate increase by a year as the outlook for economic growth weakens. Futures on Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell 0.4 percent in Singapore. Futures on the FTSE China A50 Index lost 0.1 percent. Futures on Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index declined 0.2 percent.
