British pound declines on election fears
On Thursday, the British pound retreated, following concerns that Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May could lose control of the country’s parliament in June 8 election. Meanwhile, conflicting signals on the health of Chinese manufacturing sector drew attention of most Asian stock markets.
Britain’s currency retreated 0.1%, hitting $1.2877 after a YouGov survey disclosed May could be short of the number of seats required to form a government, thus increasing the probability of political turmoil as formal Brexit talks burst out.
Outside Japan, MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific stocks stood still after four sessions of losses. It’s because market participants derived profits after stocks reached a two-year peak the previous week and as economic as well as geopolitical worries kept weighing on sentiment.
Besides this, Chinese shares SSEC went down 0.4% after a private survey disclosed the country's manufacturing activity dipped in May for the first time in 11 months. It definitely contrasts with official reports on Wednesday, suggesting surge was still steady.
