Both the US and Asian stock markets were upended by micro news overnight. In the US, it was Target that rattled investors by announcing that sales were down as shoppers grappled with higher inflation heading into a peak shopping season. US retail sales data however painted a different picture coming in 0.3% higher than expected in October. In Asia, an announcement from Tencent that it will divest USD 20 billion in Meituan shares caused markets to sell off.
