Markets mixed as China surge ends

Markets were mixed on Friday.

The S&P 500 rose 1.1 percent and the STOXX Europe 600 rose 0.9 percent.

US stocks shrugged off another rise in COVID-19 cases while European stocks were boosted by positive industrial output data from Italy and France.

However, earlier in Asia, stocks fell. The Shanghai Composite fell 1.9 percent after an eight-day surge.

Matt Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak, told CNBC on Thursday that Chinese stocks are vulnerable to a pullback.

“It’s the most overbought it’s been since 2014, even more overbought than its all-time high in 2016,” said Maley.
