BANGKOK (AP) — Shares have fallen in Asia after China reportedly rebuffed a plan for talks with the U.S. on resolving their dispute over trade and technology.

Reuters•4 hours agoFed hikes give cash appeal; stocks no longer only game in town
The U.S. Federal Reserve's anticipated interest rate hike this week will make cash the most attractive it has been in about a decade and end the era of stocks as the only game in town. During this bull market which in August broke the record as the longest ever, interest rates were so low that most fixed income assets other than junk bonds yielded less than the inflation rate or the dividend yield on the S&P 500. This drove yield-hungry investors to stocks, the one asset that delivered a real rate of return, or return on investment adjusted for inflation.

[$$] Companies Buy Earnings Gains by Buying Back Stock
A key driver in the surge of stock buybacks was last December’s tax overhaul, which lowered companies’ tax bills and freed up funds that many companies are using for share repurchases. S&P 500 companies bought back a record $189 billion of their own shares in the first quarter, and a similar number—if not more—is expected for the second quarter, according S&P Dow Jones Indices. Stock buybacks make profits appear better by boosting per-share earnings, a metric that investors frequently use to justify a company’s stock price.
