Stock market today: Asian shares are mixed as China reports its growth slowed in April-June
==========
Asian shares began the week trading mixed as China reported that its economy expanded at a slower-than-forecast 4.7% annual pace in the last quarter. The future for the S&P 500 was up 0.3% and that for the Dow Jones Industrial Average was 0.2% higher. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng fell 1.5% early Monday to 18,021.73 on heavy selling of property developers. The Shanghai Composite slipped less than 0.1% to 2,970.77. In Seoul, the Kospi edged 0.1% higher to 2,860.92, while the S&P/ASX 200 gained 0.7% to 8,017.60. Taiwan’s Taiex lost 0.2% and the SET in Bangkok shed 0.7%. U.S. stocks rose after mixed signals on big banks’ profits. The S&P 500 climbed 0.6% to close its fifth winning week in the last six, ending at 5,615.35. The Dow rose 0.6% to 40,000.90 and the Nasdaq composite added 0.6% to 18,398.45. Bank of New York Mellon climbed 5.2% for one of the market’s bigger gains after it reported better profit for the spring than analysts expected. Traders are banking on a 94% probability that the Federal Reserve will start easing rates in September. U.S. benchmark crude oil shed 3 cents to $82.18 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude, the international standard, lost 10 cents to $84.93 per barrel.
