A stocks rally triggered by Hillary Clinton's upbeat performance in the first US presidential debate over Republican rival Donald Trump slid away Tuesday on a dim outlook for an oil deal. In Asia, indices closed with solid gains as a confident Clinton bested her rival in the 90-minute showdown, but in Europe the gains were short-lived and Wall Street opened on the downside. European equities "...had opened moderately higher in a small nod to establishment candidate Hillary Clinton winning the US presidential debate," said Jasper Lawler, analyst at CMC Markets.

Philippines' Duterte pivots to China, Russia as investors flee
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said Monday he would seek closer economic ties with China and Russia, as the local currency and stock market extended declines following Western criticism of his deadly war on crime. The peso hit a seven-year low to the dollar on Monday and foreign investors pulled out from local shares for a 23rd straight day, which analysts said was due to growing uncertainty over Duterte's handling of what has been one of Asia's best-performing economies in recent years.

S. Korea football coach Stielike warns Spurs star Son over attitude
South Korea coach Uli Stielike has slammed the attitude of Son Heung-Min, despite the attacker earning rave reviews for his match-winning performances for Tottenham in the English Premier League (EPL). Stielike rebuked the 24-year-old Son, who has scored four goals in his last two league games as Tottenham rose to second in the English Premier League table, for his "problematic" behaviour. "As many people have already seen from the stands or on television, I think his behaviour away from the field can be problematic," warned Stielike Monday as he selected Son as his first-choice front man in a 23-man squad for World Cup qualifiers against Qatar and Iran next month.

Singapore urged to get tougher on money-laundering
Singapore must take more aggressive action against complex cross-border money-laundering including prosecuting individuals and seizing illicit proceeds, a global financial crimes watchdog said Tuesday. The Paris-based Financial Action Task Force (FATF) said in a review the city-state has made significant improvements in its anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing framework since the last assessment in 2008. It said, however, that Singapore needs to do more, especially in prosecuting bigger cases where the crime is committed in another country and the proceeds are laundered in Singapore, one of Asia's top financial centres.

Bookies turn against Allardyce as FA discusses sting
By Mitch Phillips LONDON (Reuters) - England manager Sam Allardyce is odds-on with bookmakers to lose his job following a newspaper sting that showed him ranting about a "corrupt" tax system, criticising the FA and seeking a lucrative role as an adviser in the Far East. Allardyce, who was appointed in July following the departure of Roy Hodgson after this year's European Championship, has overseen one match - a 1-0 World Cup qualifying victory over Slovakia. One of the highest-paid managers in the game with a salary of around 3 million pounds a year, Allardyce was secretly filmed by the Daily Telegraph discussing England's failings with a group he had been told were businessmen with interests in Singapore and Hong Kong.
