Global stocks remaind subdued after North Korea fired another missile over Japan into the Pacific Ocean on Friday, in a sign that Pyongyang remains defiant despite tightening international sanctions.
The launch happened early on Friday after US markets had been shut for the day. European shares were also trading lower for the day.
