Asian stocks began September with declines, while the dollar held on to its recent rally as investors assessed the outlook for trade and whether turmoil in some emerging markets can be contained. The pound slid as the chief European negotiator on Brexit said he strictly opposed the U.K.’s current proposal.
Stocks slipped in across the region, while European futures were mixed. The S&P 500 closed flat Friday as gains in consumer shares offset losses in energy stocks, while Treasuries posted a modest decline. U.S. markets are closed for Labor Day on Monday. The yen ticked higher alongside the euro and emerging market equities fell.
