Tokyo's main index closes marginally higher in a mixed session for Asian stocks
- Session high 21,879.69
- Session low 21,775.61
A day where the trading range in the Nikkei is also narrow as equity investors remain cautious. Chinese stocks are mostly taking a beating though with the Hang Seng down by 1.6% and China's Shanghai Composite and CSI 300 indices down by 1.63% and 1.75% respectively.
The latter even fell by more than 2% at one point today.
The risk for equities is that the slide in China stocks will spread to Europe's cash equity market later. And already with trade fears still lingering, along with possible further rhetoric by Russia on the Syria front, it's still making for a cautious tone.
