SYDNEY: Asian shares started cautiously on Thursday as a deadline loomed for fresh US tariffs on China and amid speculation US President Donald Trump<\/a>'s political position could be threatened by the legal woes of two former advisers. <\/p>\n

US and Chinese officials met for the first time in over two months to find a way out of their deepening trade conflict, but there was no evidence the low-level discussions would halt a new round of US tariffs due Thursday. <\/p>\n

Citi said in a global economic and outlook strategy report titled "Storm Squalls" that divergence in trade tensions between the United States and its various trading partners is likely to be a key driver for markets. <\/p>\n

"Trade tensions have narrowed to US vs China; however, there is no such thing as a bilateral trade war," it added. <\/p>\n

"Despite recent signs that trade talks are resuming, we expect US-China trade tensions to continue." <\/p>\n

MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan eased 0.1 per cent. Japan's Nikkei and South Korea's Kospi index each climbed 0.2 per cent. <\/p>\n

Australian shares were a tad softer amid political uncertainty over the future of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull after three senior ministers tended their resignations on Thursday. <\/p>\n

The turmoil hit the Australian dollar, which slipped 0.44 per cent for its second straight day of decline. <\/p>\n

Another focus for investors will be manufacturing data from Europe and the United States later in the day as investors gauge whether the spectre of a global trade war is hurting economic activity. <\/p>\n

A survey on Thursday showed Japanese manufacturing activity grew at a slightly faster pace in August as domestic demand jumped, but export orders contracted, adding to worries about rising trade protectionism. <\/p>\n

The lead from Wall Street was mixed even as the S&P 500 marked its longest bull-market run in history. The Dow fell 0.3 per cent, the S&P was mostly unchanged and the Nasdaq added 0.4 per cent. <\/p>\n

Investors are considering whether a twin political setback to Trump would hurt the Republican Party's election prospects and widen a criminal probe that has overshadowed his presidency. <\/p>\n

Trump's former personal lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to a range of charges and said he acted at the direction of Trump while his ex-campaign manager Paul Manafort was found guilty of tax and bank fraud charges. <\/p>\n

The White House pushed back forcefully against suggestions that a plea deal struck on Tuesday by Cohen implicated the president in a crime. <\/p>\n

Trump was not charged and Cohen's plea deal does not mean the president has been implicated in anything, press secretary Sarah Sanders said at a White House briefing. <\/p>\n

The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of major currencies, paused after six straight sessions of losses took it to the lowest in three weeks. It was last up 0.1 per cent at 95.27. <\/p>\n

Forex markets barely budged after the release of minutes from the Federal Reserve's policy meeting that ended Aug. 1. Futures traders priced in a slightly higher chance that the Fed will increase rates two more times this year. <\/p>\n

The euro was last off 0.2 per cent at $1.1571, not far from Wednesday's two-week high of $1.1623 touched on Wednesday. The Japanese yen weakened 0.1 per cent to 110.65 per dollar. <\/p>\n

In commodities, Brent crude, the international benchmark, eased 4 cents to $74.74. US crude gained 12 cents to $67.98. <\/p>\n

US gold futures for December delivery fell 0.2 per cent while spot gold was a tad softer at $1,194.6 an ounce. <\/p>\n
