US indices fell for a second consecutive day yesterday, constantly pressured by the threat of prolonged US-China trade talks and the implications for global growth. Singapore’s second quarter growth was revised slightly higher but missed forecasts.

• The US30 index fell the most in five days yesterday amid heightened recession concerns
• The index remains trapped between the 55-day moving average at 26,469 and the 200-day moving average at 25,579
• US consumer prices probably rose 0.3% m/m in July, the latest survey of analysts shows. That’s an acceleration from June’s 0.1% print. An above-forecast reading would question the Fed’s expected easing cycle.
