Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index fell by 1.2%, as the market caught up after a closure due to a “black rainstorm” warning. In contrast, mainland Chinese stocks rose, with the CSI 300 gaining 0.74%.

In the U.S., stocks saw slight gains on Friday after a week of losses. The S&P 500 rose 0.14%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.22%, and the Nasdaq Composite eked out a 0.09% gain, driven by concerns about potential Federal Reserve rate hikes.
