Asian equities lower, US futures down
Japanese stocks are down over 2% on the day while the Hang Seng is seen down 1.7% as Asian indices are struggling after another round of selling in Wall St overnight.
Mainland Chinese stocks are the only ones bucking the trend with the Shanghai Composite up 0.1% and CSI 300 index up 0.3%. Otherwise, sentiment remains rather weak as we look towards the start of European morning trade.
Elsewhere, US futures are also on retreat once again with S&P 500 futures seen down 0.2%, Nasdaq futures down 0.5%, and Dow futures down 0.2%.
Major currencies are keeping somewhat calmer but just be mindful of more risk averse flows that could seep through, similar to what we saw yesterday.
