1) Fragile China
Chinese stocks suffered another round of heavy losses on Tuesday, renewing concerns over government efforts to support markets.
The Shanghai Composite shed 3.5% on Tuesday, bringing losses for the week to 6%. Declines have been even steeper on the smaller Shenzhen Composite, which has lost more than 11% over the past two trading sessions.
"Further weak data from China and the continual uncertainty over when the Federal Reserve will begin raising U.S. interest rates has encouraged the markets to begin the week under pressure once again," noted research analyst Lukman Otunuga at currency broker FXTM.
The Nikkei 225 in Japan was one of the few indexes to edge higher Tuesday, gaining 0.3%.
