Stocks Trade Mixed, Dollar Edges Higher

Asian stocks were mixed on Monday treading on the heels of worst week for global equities since mid-December. The dollar pushed slightly after Friday’s decline.

Chinese shares outdid, whittling away some of Friday’s losses with stocks in Japan, Hong Kong, and European futures also higher. Equities in Australia slithered and fluctuated in South Korea.

Oil prices moved up ahead of the release this week of the IEA’s Oil 2019 report and OPEC’s monthly market report.
