Bloomberg•2 hours agoHere’s the Asia Stocks Verdict: Bulls Are Reluctant to Run
Yes, Chinese and Hong Kong shares rallied after their mid-day breaks, but it took a whopping four hours for that to happen after China propped up the market earlier on Friday. The fact of the matter is, a 2 to 3 percent climb today won’t remove China’s title as the world’s worst stock market. The bounce has certainly pulled other Asian markets up with the mainland rally (Shenzhen stocks climbed 2.6 percent) in afternoon trading, but the MSCI Asia Pacific Index is still down 0.1 percent as of 3:02 p.m. in Hong Kong after dropping as much as 1 percent earlier today.

Reuters•2 hours agoAsia shares erase losses as China's market support helps Shanghai surge
Asian stocks clawed back losses on Friday as China's efforts to bolster investor confidence helped its share markets rally, although data showing the world's second-largest economy growing at the slowest pace since 2009 capped broader gains.

Spreadbetters in Europe expect shares in Germany, where big exporters are sensitive to the health of China's economy, to fall at the open, with the DAX seen opening down 0.15 percent.

[$$] Brexit Britain’s Broken Politics Leave Investors Few Bargains
The British royal family needs impeccable timing and a strong sense of duty, but arranging for a royal baby to arrive around the March 29 date set for Brexit next year is going above and beyond. Sadly for the government, the announcement of Meghan Markle’s pregnancy—along with a minor royal wedding—hasn’t managed to distract from its troubles at the negotiating table with the European Union. Despite the crisis, the London stock market is calm, and those looking for bargains will be disappointed.
