Global Markets: Asia stocks unnerved by yuan slide, heightened trade war fears
The Chinese yuan skidded to one-year lows on Friday, unnerving investors in Asian stock markets and stoking concerns Beijing's currency management could become the next flash point in a fierce trade dispute with the United States. Spreadbetters expected European stocks to open lower as volatility gripped Asia, with Britain's FTSE falling 0.1 percent and Germany's DAX and France's CAC both shedding 0.25 percent. The yuan fell to as low as 6.8128 to the dollar in the onshore market, before major state-owned Chinese banks were seen selling dollars in an apparent bid by authorities to prevent a rapid fall in the currency.
