HONG KONG: Asian stocks stumbled on Wednesday, as more disappointing Chinese economic data and the absence of meaningful stimulus from Beijing continued to weigh on investor sentiment. Europe is poised to open lower for another day with FTSE futures down 0.15% at 0527 GMT. E-mini futures for the S&P 500 index were largely flat.
