The Hong Kong stock market on Monday halted the four-day losing streak in which it had slumped more than 750 points or 4.1 percent. The Hang Seng Index now sits just above the 18,400-point plateau and it may see additional support on Tuesday.
The global forecast for the Asian markets suggests mild upside ahead of key data later in the week, although slumping oil prices may cap the upside. The European and U.S. markets were mixed and little changed and the Asian markets are likely to open in similar fashion.
