Stocks in Asia fluctuated as investors parsed a mixed set of economic numbers out of China and sought fresh leads after weeks of volatility sparked by trade frictions and geopolitical conflict. The dollar traded at the lowest in two months against most peers. Equity benchmarks fell in Japan and rose in Australia, while they swung from gains to losses in Hong Kong and China as S&P 500 Index futures climbed. The dollar weakened as U.S. President Donald Trump accused Russia and China of devaluing their currencies, contradicting an assessment from the Treasury Department. Treasury yields ticked higher and West Texas crude futures traded below $67 a barrel. US After Horus : CE +6.2%, NFLX +5.3% following earnings/guidance, PUMP +6.3% on S&P SmallCap 600 addition news
