By WSJ Staff

China's legislators extended a financial lifeline to indebted local governments, but held off on new fiscal stimulus measures to revive the struggling economy.

Here's how some China-related assets were trading Friday:

-- U.S.-listed Chinese stocks, such as Alibaba, JD.com and PDD, traded lower premarket.

-- Shares in European luxury companies, such as LVMH and Hermès, dropped.

-- Copper futures traded more than 2% lower.

-- In Hong Kong, Hang Seng Index futures declined about 2.8%.

-- Chinese stock markets had already closed for the week.

Earlier this week, The Wall Street Journal had reported that China wasn't planning to unleash a "bazooka" stimulus, at least not this year.
