>>> What to look at today - 10th of August 2020

European stock-index futures rose along with the bulk of Asian equity markets, as investors looked ahead to this week’s expected review of the U.S.-China trade pact and weighed uncertainty over the timing of a stimulus package from Washington. The dollar was steady and oil climbed.
Contracts on the Euro Stoxx 50 and S&P 500 indexes edged up. South Korea and Australia outperformed in the Asian session. Chinese shares advanced as data showed the economy continuing to recover from the pandemic, with consumer inflation accelerating and factory price deflation easing.
Hong Kong saw losses, with Tencent Holdings Ltd. continuing to slide in the wake of U.S. pressure. Japan and Singapore were shut for holidays and Treasuries won’t trade until the London open. Crude advanced as Saudi Arabia’s state-controlled producer said it expects energy demand to pick up. Gold fell.
