Asian stocks are buoyed by trade optimism to start the week

Nikkei 04-03

Risk sentiment is taking on a better tone as we begin the new week, on the back of more positive headlines coming from the US-China trade rhetoric. That is helping to lift equities in the region and Japanese stocks are no exception to that.

Chinese stocks are the ones benefiting the most though, with the Hang Seng up by 1.1% and the Shanghai Composite up by 2.6% currently. Meanwhile, US equity futures are trading up by 0.4%. The sentiment across the equities space is helping to keep risk currencies buoyed ahead of European trading.

Tokyo’s main index closes lower as Asian stocks fall in light of fading trade optimism and poor Chinese data

Nikkei 28-02
Japanese stocks performed poorly on the session as optimism from trade talks between US and China are put into question following comments by Lighthizer yesterday. Poor Chinese PMI data earlier in the day also isn’t helping with sentiment and as a result, markets are leaning towards a more softer risk tone as we gear towards European trading.
Of note, Chinese stocks are lower with the Shanghai Composite trading 0.5% down in the final hour of trading now. Some questionable rhetoric on the Trump-Kim summit is also something that could potentially meddle with risk sentiment later, so just be wary of that.
