Italian budget concerns also returned to the fore after the Italian government insisted it would stick with its plan to rapidly increase public spending. Shortly after the European Commission published its pessimistic forecasts for Italy, the country&#39;s Finance Minister Giovanni Tria said the numbers come from an &quot;inadequate and partial analysis.&rdquo;<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">The mainland China markets, which investors are watching closely as trade tensions between Washington and Beijing continue to weigh on sentiment, also traded in negative territory. The Shanghai composite shed 1.18 percent and the Shenzhen composite declined by 0.33 percent. The moves in China followed the country&#39;s Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index for the month of October coming in at 2.5 percent and 3.3 percent higher, respectively, compared to a year ago. <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Those numbers were in line with expectations from a Reuters poll. In other Asian market news, Japan&#39;s Nikkei 225 was largely flat, lower by 0.1% while the Topix index saw losses of 0.5 percent after earlier seeing gains. South Korea&#39;s Kospi was lower by 0.2 percent.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">On bond markets, ten-year U.S. Treasury bond yields fell below 3.18 percent, down four basis points on the day as it became clear that more fiscal stimulus was unlikely. An initial knee-jerk rise to 3.25 percent came after early reports of a better-than-expected performance by the Republicans, but that move soon fizzled as results trickled in. Oil prices were soft after a 2 percent fall the previous day, with Brent crude futures down 0.25 percent to just below $72 a barrel .<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<h4>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><strong>Upcoming Events<\/strong>:<\/span><br \/>\n<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">10:30 AM GMT &#8211; (GBP) GDP m\/m<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">10:30 AM GMT &#8211; (GBP) Manufacturing Production m\/m<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">10:30 AM GMT &#8211; (GBP) Prelim GDP q\/q<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">10:30 AM GMT &#8211; (GBP) Prelim Business Investment q\/q<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">02:30 PM GMT &#8211; (USD) PPI m\/m<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">02:30 PM GMT &#8211; (USD) Core PPI m\/m<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icmarkets.com\/education\/forex-news-and-calendar\/\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(0, 114, 188); text-decoration-line: none; outline: 0px; background-color: initial;\">&amp;more&hellip;<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global Markets: Asian Stock Markets : Nikkei down 0.10%, Shanghai Composite down 1.18%, Hang Seng down 2.61%, ASX down 0.11% Commodities : Gold at $1220.10 (-0.41%), Silver at $14.36 (-0.44%), Brent Oil at $70.73 (+0.11%), WTI Oil at $60.59 (-0.13%) Rates : US 10-year yield at 3.232, UK 10-year yield at 1.564, Germany 10-year yield &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/icm-cn-asia.com\/blog\/friday-9th-november-asian-markets-lower-as-fed-tempers-rally\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Friday 9th November: Asian Markets lower as Fed tempers rally<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28925,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/icm-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/icm-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/icm-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icm-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icm-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28924"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/icm-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28924\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28926,"href":"https:\/\/icm-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28924\/revisions\/28926"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icm-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/icm-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icm-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icm-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
