A report in the FT over the weekend suggested that China may be about to end its stock-buying program and focusing on those who are destabilizing the market instead. The news led to cautious trade in Asia with most major indexes closing lower, although Shanghai managed a mild gain.
European indexes are also trading lower so far with the French and German markets down more than 1 per cent. London is closed for a public holiday.
North American markets are set to open lower on the Asian concern and following comments from the Fed’s Stanley Fischer which led to analysts forecasting a later rise in interest rates.
