View on market: Volatility Prevails, Stay put with quality business

Asian equities fell and major currencies appreciated against the dollar in a cautious open to the week after further weakness on Wall Street and a defiant message to the world from China’s Communist Party congress. Stocks declined in Japan, Australia and South Korea while futures for Hong Kong fell. Contracts for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 rose after tumbling Friday, when Treasury yields climbed as year-ahead inflation expectations increased. U.S. Yields fell slightly at the open in Asia. At 6:35 a.m., the Singapore-traded SGX Nifty — an early barometer of India’s benchmark Nifty 50 — fell 0.96% to 17,047.5. Oil clawed back some losses after a weekly slump as fears over an economic slowdown continue to weigh on the outlook for demand. Gold was little changed.
