Европейские акции сегодня испытывают проблемы с выбором направления, а азиатские рынки понижаются по мере того, как инвесторы оценивают последние изменения в стратегии США по отношению к китайской торговле и инвестициям. Основной азиатский индекс падает уже четыре дня подряд, а индекс развивающихся рынков упал до самого низкого значения за год. Нефть WTI подешевела.
