Asian stocks were mixed as traders awaited China’s response to the latest step in an escalation of trade tensions between the world’s top two economies. The Australian and New Zealand dollars led an advance against the greenback.
Equity benchmarks fluctuated across the region and U.S. equity futures declined. South Korea’s stock benchmark had the biggest decline among major Asian markets. A recovery in U.S. equities from a technology-fueled drubbing on Monday seemed to be largely overshadowed by the Trump administration’s issue of its list of Chinese products proposed for tariffs that came after the close of trading in New York. China condemned the move and said it will respond. The yen and Treasuries were steady after sliding Tuesday as risk appetite returned. US After Hours CLDR -25%, PLAY -7% following earnings/guidance
