In Asia China’s central bank allowed the yuan to stabilize which gave other regional currencies some lift. Japan’s GDP figures showed a 1.6 per cent contraction for the economy which is a blow to Abenomics but was a smaller decline than the 1.9 per cent expected by a poll of economists by Reuters.
Meanwhile in Europe stocks are trading higher so far, buoyed by the yuan’s position but also on optimism that a deal with Greece over its bailout will be reached.
