Asian shares mostly higher as Wall Street closes previous week near records

Asian shares were mostly higher Monday, after Wall Street finished the previous week near their record levels. Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 0.4 per cent to 26,505.18.

Worries are simmering about China's economy, as analysts say the data for August aren't strong enough to reflect ongoing dynamic growth, especially given the damage from US President Donald Trump's tariff policies. China's retail sales rose 3.4 per cent, and factory output was up 5.2 per cent. The underlying flow is shifting.

Australia's S&P/ASX 200 lost 0.3 per cent to 8,836.50, while South Korea's Kospi gained 0.4 per cent to 3,409.94. Stock trading was closed Monday for a national holiday in Japan. Wall ...
