On Friday, Asian shares saw a decline as confidence in China’s rescue measures waned, and investors analyzed Intel Corp’s disappointing results. Stocks in mainland China and Hong Kong fell following the significant three-day rally, as confidence in the latest initiatives from Beijing to bolster the economy and stabilize stock markets diminished. Japanese shares also experienced a decline, while Korean shares trended upwards. On the other hand, US equity futures retreated after Intel’s unsatisfactory projection, while European markets showed an upward trend.
