Chinese equities opened higher on Monday, following their
worst weekly performance last week since August. Elsewhere, other Asian
equities traded mostly in the red, on the back of a mixed close from Wall
Street last week.
US stocks closed mixed on Friday due to a 3 percent decline in oil prices. Oil tumbled USD 1.33, or 3.09 percent, to USD 41.71 a barrel as the dollar index, which hit a fresh eight-month high, added additional pressure to an oversupplied market.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed 15 points, or 0.08 percent, lower at 17,798.5 while the S&P 500 was up by 1.24 points, or 0.06 percent, to 2,090. The Nasdaq was up 11.4 points, or 0.22 percent, at 5,128.
