YOUR PHILLIP SUMMARY
Asian stocks kicked off the week with declines following a weak U.S. session on Friday. The pound slipped as U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May fought to keep her Brexit divorce plan alive.
Shares fell in Japan, Australia and South Korea. Futures trading from late Friday pointed to declines in Hong Kong. That’s after large-cap tech stocks dragged the Nasdaq 100 Index to a loss of more than 1.5 percent.
Oil prices snapped a 10-day sell-off after the bear market for crude spurred OPEC and its allies to start laying the groundwork to cut supply in 2019. Yields on 10-year Treasuries, which don’t trade Monday thanks to a U.S. holiday, ended just below 3.2 percent on Friday.
