World shares mixed as China reports economic slowdown
Global shares were mixed Monday after China reported that its economy grew at the slowest pace in at least 26 years in the last quarter, leading investors to opt for caution despite Friday's record highs on Wall Street. Tariff hikes by President Donald Trump have battered Chinese and U.S. exporters, and Chinese leaders have increased spending and loosened controls on bank lending to keep growth within this year's range of 6% to 6.5%. The 6.2% annual rate of growth China reported for April-June was the lowest since China began reporting such data in 1993.

Shares were mixed in Asia on Monday, with gains in Chinese markets on hopes for fresh stimulus measures after the government reported that the economy grew at the slowest pace in a decade in the last quarter.

Global Markets: U.S. retail sales data dents stocks, lifts Treasury yields
A gauge of global equities lost ground on Tuesday and U.S. Treasury yields moved higher as a stronger-than-anticipated report on retail sales raised the possibility the Federal Reserve could adopt a less dovish stance. U.S. retail sales rose 0.4% in June, as households stepped up purchases of motor vehicles and a variety of other goods. While the Fed is still largely expected to cut rates by a quarter of a percentage point at its July 30-31 policy meeting, expectations for a more aggressive half a percentage point cut have been scaled back.

Asian Shares Mostly Flat; Weak Samsung Earnings Drag South Korean KOSPI Lower
South Korea’s KOSPI fell as shares of technology industry heavyweight Samsung Electronics fell more than 1% after reporting that second-quarter profit likely dropped 56% as compared to a year ago. There is a growing dispute between Japan and South Korea over wartime forced labor, which will likely exacerbate the situation for Samsung, as well as other semiconductor rivals in South Korea like SK Hynix.

Global Markets: Tempered expectations of Fed rate cut sink stocks globally
A strong U.S. jobs report that tempered expectations of an aggressive interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve later this month and weak economic data in Germany helped push global stock indices lower on Friday after hitting record highs earlier this week. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 224,000 last month as government employment rose by the most in 10 months, the U.S. Labor Department reported. The better-than-expected showing reduced the likelihood the Fed will cut interest rates at its next meeting later this month.
