Reuters•13 minutes agoWorld shares snap five-day losing streak on China policy easing
World stocks steadied near three-week lows on Wednesday and Chinese markets bounced after recent sharp falls as expectations grew that policy stimulus by Beijing could temper some of the impact from an escalating Sino-U.S. trade conflict. The dollar too eased off 11-month highs against a currency basket (.DXY), Wall Street looked set for a stronger opening and MSCI's all-country equity index snapped a five-day run of losses, rising 0.3 percent . One catalyst appeared to be a paper from China's central bank which suggested cutting banks' reserve requirement ratios (RRR), which would boost market liquidity and loosen monetary conditions.
