GLOBAL MARKETS-Stocks whacked as China export decline highlights trade war damage
Global equity markets were in a sombre mood on Monday after Chinese export data highlighted the economic damage from the 17-month long trade war and re-focused attention on a crucial Dec. 15 tariff deadline. World markets had closed last week in an upbeat mood as forecast-beating U.S. jobs data reassured investors about the U.S. economy and sent MSCI's index of global stocks 0.8% higher but those gains stalled as worries about a Chinese economic slowdown returned. Several big events are due this week: The Federal Reserve meets on Wednesday, and new European Central Bank chief Christine Lagarde holds her first policy meeting on Thursday, the same day as Britain's parliamentary election.

GLOBAL MARKETS-Stocks rally on renewed trade talk optimism, yields rise
Government debt yields and a gauge of global equity markets rose on Wednesday as sentiment improved after U.S. President Donald Trump said trade talks with China were going "very well" and a news report suggested key differences were being ironed out. European stocks rallied, with the blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 , Germany's DAX and French CAC 40 gaining more than 1%. The dollar slumped against the euro after the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) reported activity in the U.S. services sector slowed more than expected in November amid lingering concerns about trade tensions and worker shortages.

GLOBAL MARKETS-Stock rebound fizzles after Trump restores Brazil, Argentina tariffs
Stock markets reversed earlier gains on Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump said he would restore tariffs on some imports from Brazil and Argentina, overshadowing data showing that the Chinese and euro zone economies were stabilising.
