Global Markets:

Asian stocks traded higher on Monday, while Chinese market experienced volatility following Beijing's announcement of fiscal stimulus measures. While the stimulus plans were welcomed, concerns over their scope and timing tempered enthusiasm.

China's finance ministry detailed plans for increased government debt issuances and support for provincial governments. However, the lack of specific details, particularly regarding the scale and timing of the measures, caused some disappointment. Analysts expressed concerns about the potential for a significant increase in government debt.

Economic data from China highlighted ongoing weakness. China's consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.4% from a year earlier last month, against a 0.6% rise in August. CPI was unchanged month-on-month, versus a 0.4% gain in August and below an estimated 0.4% increase. Meanwhile, the producer price index (PPI) fell 2.8% year-on-year in September, versus a 1.8% decline the previous month.

Positive earnings from major banks helped investors look past questions over whether the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in November.
