Asian equities experienced a mixed trading session overnight, with most markets showing gains except for Thailand. Hong Kong remained flat, while all sectors in Mainland China saw positive movements based on the MSCI China All Shares Index constituents. The Mainland market has been trailing behind Hong Kong in recent sessions, possibly due to local investors awaiting further stimulus indications from the upcoming Third Plenum.
Market analysts are anticipating the release of China's official consumer price index (CPI) and producer price index (PPI) tomorrow. Expectations suggest a rise in CPI driven by surging pork prices, while PPI is forecasted to decline, potentially influenced by slowing external demand.
