>>> What to look at today -31st of May 2019

Stocks declined in Asia alongside Treasury yields as traders mulled new developments in President Donald Trump’s trade war.
A threat of tariffs on Mexico and a report of retaliation plans from China sent 10-year Treasury yields to fresh 20-month lows of 2.17%. Japanese shares retreated, while shares in Korea, Hong Kong and China fluctuated. Futures on the S&P 500 Index headed for their worst week since the global market rout in December. The Mexican peso tumbled 2.1%. The yen advanced and oil slid.
