  • In European trading a sell-off pushed Germany's DAX down 1.6% and Britain's FTSE 100 down 1%, while oil eased and gold climbed to over $4,383 amid Washington and Beijing trade tensions.
  • Traders grew cautious ahead of Monday's economic data, with Asian markets mixed as Taiwan's Taiex fell 1.3%, India's Sensex rose 0.4%, and South Korea's Kospi closed nearly flat at 3,748.89.
