Banks were up except for Standard Chartered plc ,which surprised investors with
plans to raise £1.8 billion ($2.7 billion) by selling new shares. The offering may cause the bank to lose its right to issue Hong Kong bank notes if a Singapore-owned company raises its stake in the lender above 20% through a rights offer. Meanwhile, Barclays plc
is up on news that shareholders have supported its plan to raise £7 billion. Friday, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group reported a
net earnings decrease of ¥164.6 billion ($1.7 million) from ¥256.72 billion.
