  • Hang Seng: +0.67%

Chinese and Hong Kong markets are back today after their holidays and both markets are in the green on the post NFP relief from last Friday and anticipation of trade talks in Washington this week. The tone is constructive at the moment for talks which has been supporting the antipodean currencies.
