GLOBAL MARKETS-Asian shares pause after 5-day rally, Brexit in focus
TOKYO/SYDNEY, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Asian stocks barely moved on Thursday as soft U.S. retail sales data raised fears about the health of the world's largest economy, sucking the steam out of a five-session rally, while hopes of a Brexit deal kept sterling volatile. Chinese shares were mostly flat while Japan's Nikkei ticked up and U.S. stock futures were barely changed. The S&P 500 shed 0.20% on Wednesday after data showed U.S. retail sales contracted in September for the first time in seven months, in a potential sign that manufacturing-led weakness could be spreading to the broader economy.
