TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

Asian stocks edged higher on Friday on signs of rapprochement between the United States and Europe over trade issues and the yuan staunched losses on buying by Chinese state banks, though concerns about the Sino-U.S. tariff dispute tempered overall optimism.

European shares are expected to be firm, with spread-betters looking at flat to higher openings of 0.3 percent in Britain’s FTSE, France’s CAC and Germany’s DAX.

MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan ticked up 0.3 percent, though Chinese shares underperformed with the CSI300 in the red for most of the day.

“Markets are worried that the Chinese economy will slow as trade frictions with the U.S. intensify. We think if the U.S. slaps additional tariffs on $200 billion goods from China, that would shave off China’s growth by 0.5 percentage point,” said Shuji Shirota, head of macroeconomic strategy at HSBC in Tokyo.
