Black Friday is a day of discounts and such discounts were applied to the key Asian markets on Friday. China saw the most intense selling with CHNComp down 2.4% and HKComp sliding 2%. Korean KOSP200 lost 1.7%. The key reason behind those moves is a concern that US bills supporting Hong Kong protests will slow progress in trade talks. European markets are much calmer – DE30 is down just 0.2%.
