Overseas Trading

 

Asian markets finished mixed, but were dominated by a 6.5% sell-off on China's Shanghai Composite -- the biggest single-day drop in four months. Specifically, mainland stocks struggled amid reports that brokerages are tightening margin financing requirements. Hong Kong's Hang Seng followed suit, sliding 2.2%. However, Japan's Nikkei muscled 0.4% higher for a 10th straight daily win, as continued softness in the yen offset weaker-than-expected retail sales data, and South Korea's Kospi edged up 0.2%.

 

European benchmarks are mostly lower, after European Commission Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis said Greece and its lenders are far apart in debt negotiations. The fiscal uncertainty in Greece figures to be a main topic of conversation among the Group of Seven, which kicked off a two-day meeting in Dresden. At last check, the French CAC 40 and German DAX are down 0.5% and 0.4%, respectively. On the flip side, London's FTSE 100 has gained 0.1%, as upbeat retail earnings narrowly outweigh an underwhelming U.K. gross domestic product (GDP) reading.
