On Monday, Thailand releases its inflation data for July and Indonesia reports its second quarter growth data.
Japan’s Nikkei 225 inched down 0.11%, but the Topix was up 0.19%. Japan’s central bank will release its summary of opinions for its July 28 meeting, where it adjusted its stance on its yield curve control policy.
In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 slid 0.26%, while South Korea’s Kospi was up marginally. The Kosdaq, however, slumped 1.56%.
Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index fell marginally, while mainland Chinese markets were also all in negative territory. The Shanghai Composite lost 0.73%, while the Shenzhen Component was 0.53% down.
On Friday in the U.S., the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite slumped for a fourth straight session, and notched their worst weeks since March, as traders seemed to book profits following the latest corporate earnings releases and U.S. jobs data.
The S&P 500 shed 0.53%, the Nasdaq Composite dipped 0.36%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost or 0.43%.
