Wall Street gears up for more volatility after U.S. stocks close in the green but log their third negative week in a row, while the Trump administration seeks to calm recession fears, with top economic adviser Larry Kudlow saying he doesn’t see a major downturn on the horizon. In China, stocks surge following the PBOC’s announcement of business interest rate reforms. Investors also bet on fiscal stimulus out of Berlin as finance minister Olaf Scholz says Germany is ready to use the ‘full force’ of a €50bn stimulus package in the event of an economic crisis. And Hong Kong sees its 11th straight weekend of pro-democracy protests with a reported 1.7 million people turning out for a peaceful rally on Sunday.
