China\u2019s economic growth is expected to slow to 7.3% in 2015, according to an academic member of the monetary policy advisory committee for the People\u2019s Bank of China. This comes in after chief economist Fan Jianping, forecasted the world\u2019s second largest economy would expanded by 7% next year.<\/p>\n

The South Korean Kospi index edged 0.5% higher, while Australia\u2019s S&P\/ASX 200 index added 0.5%.<\/p>\n

European Stocks<\/span><\/h2>\n

Stocks in Europe opened in the green territory on Monday after the European Central Bank (ECB) along with the European Banking Authority (EBA) announced that 25 European banks failed the stress tests.<\/p>\n

The European Euro Stoxx 50 gained 0.89% to open at 3,057.28, while the French CAC 40 rose 0.90% to 4,164.73. UK\u2019s benchmark FTSE was up 0.76% to 6,437.82.

Over the weekend ECB and EBA said 25 out of a total of 130 European banks failed the stress tests, with most of the banks coming from Italy. However, no major bank failed the test, which eased worries over the region\u2019s economic recovery.<\/p>\n
