Global Markets:

Most Asian markets declined on Monday as investors weighed escalating tensions between Japan and China, following Beijing's advisory cautioning its citizens about travelling to or studying in Japan.

The rising feud between the countries over Taiwan resulted in significant selling in Japan's tourism and retail stocks today. China has consistently ranked among the top sources of tourists visiting Japan.

The escalation came after comments this month by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi of Japan about Taiwan, a self-governed democracy that China considers part of its territory. Ms. Takaichi told the Japanese Parliament that a hypothetical Chinese attack on Taiwan could trigger a military response from Tokyo.

On Friday, the Chinese Embassy in Tokyo warned its citizens against traveling to Japan because of what it described as serious safety risks. China did not provide evidence, but the warning could affect an important part of Japan's tourism economy.

Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who has been a vocal critic of China and its military activities in the region, suggested this month Tokyo could take military action if Beijing attacked Taiwan.

On the data front, Japan's economy contracted by a smaller-than-expected 0.4% in the quarter ended September, compared to the previous one.

Traders also monitored key regional data, including Thailand's Q3 GDP report and Singapore's latest trade balance numbers.

In the U.S. on Friday, the Nasdaq Composite staged a modest recovery as buyers returned to major tech names after the sector had driven Wall Street to its sharpest decline in over a month the previous session.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq gained 0.13% to finish at 22,900.59, snapping a three-day losing streak. The S&P 500 finished near the flatline, down just 0.05% at 6,734.11, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 309.74 points, or 0.65%, to settle at 47,147.48.

All three indices had earlier rebounded from deeper intraday losses, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 down as much as 1.9% and 1.4%, and the Dow off nearly 600 points (1.3%).
