Equities had a broadly positive day across Asia. Corporate earnings were
the key factor behind gains on Hong Kong's Hang Seng while both earnings and
commodity prices helped lift Australia's S&P/ASX200. Meanwhile data
reliability is in the spotlight in China after Liaoning province posted a 20%
drop in GDP following a call from President Xi to report proper figures.
Commodities are in a bit of a wait-and-see mode, with oil struggling to
gain momentum in either direction and gold capped by resistance at
$1,295-1,300. Meanwhile, financial markets are settling down for the Fed's
annual Jackson Hole policy symposium on August 24-26.
