FYI: Gobal stocks were mixed Friday, as investors weighed the latest moves in U.S.-China trade negotiations and sluggish Chinese economic data added to recent signs of a world economic slowdown.
The Stoxx Europe 600 edged up 0.2% in morning trade. Markets fell across Asia, with Hong Kong’s Hang Seng shedding 1.9%.
On Wall Street, futures pointed to opening losses of around 0.3% for the S&P 500 and 0.5% for the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
After starting the year with a broad rally following dovish signals from the Federal Reserve, markets have come under pressure amid mounting signs of a global economic slowdown and mixed messaging out of the U.S.-China trade talks.
