YOUR PHILLIP SUMMARY

Asian stocks looked set to follow a rally in U.S. shares as the possibility of progress in trade talks with China overwhelmed skepticism about the financial sector. The dollar rose, Treasuries slumped and crude surged toward $50 a barrel on expectations the market will be tightened by OPEC’s output cuts. All major indexes were higher, led by the small-cap Russell 2000 Index for a second day. The S&P 500 Index gained 1 percent on strength in transportation companies, carmakers and telephone stocks. Financials were only major industry group in the benchmark that didn’t rise. Boeing Co. helped lift large-caps with a strong fourth-quarter delivery report.

The World Bank cut its forecast for the global economy as slowing growth in trade and investment and rising interest rates sapped momentum, especially in emerging markets. Downside risks to the world economy have become more acute, including the threat of “disorderly” market movements and an escalation of trade disputes, the development lender said Tuesday in its semi-annual update to its global outlook. Debt vulnerabilities in emerging markets and developing countries have increased, it said. The Washington-based bank expects global growth of 2.9 percent this year, down from 3 percent in 2018 and a reduction of 0.1 percentage point from its forecast in June. The bank lowered its projection for growth in emerging markets by 0.5 point to 4.2 percent, and slightly downgraded its outlook for expansion in the euro area.
