US stock indices opened the week on a low note with Apple leading the decline in the tech sector after US Vice President Mike Pence launched an attack on China, while the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit held in Papua New Guinea failed to reach a joint statement for the first time in its history due to internal disagreements. 

 

The developments kept market optimism regarding progress in US-China trade negotiations in check, with Apple, a company that's highly exposed to Asian and Chinese markets, falling 3%, making its total monthly losses so far at 12% amid estimates of lower sales for the iPhone.
