Asian stock markets retreated from highs as disappointing news on US consumer spending dampened sentiment ahead of a closely-watched reading on the health of the Chinese economy.

Reports state that Chinese GDP data is expected to show growth picked up to an annual 6.1% last quarter, from 4.9% in the third quarter.

Also evident were doubts about how much of US President-elect Joe Biden's stimulus package will make it through Congress given Republican opposition, and the risk of more mob violence at his inauguration on Wednesday.

The Hang Seng is trading down by 0.3% while the Shanghai Composite is down 0.2%. The Nikkei is trading lower by 0.7%.

US stock markets closed on a negative note on Friday, with the three major indexes registering their largest one week drop since October 30, after President-elect Joe Biden announced a US$ 1.9 trillion Covid-19 relief plan late Thursday and investors assessed results from a trio of big banks.

However, data showed US December retail sales fell for a third straight month, while some analysts were skeptical about the chances of Biden's fiscal package passing Congress intact.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended down by 0.6% while the tech heavy Nasdaq ended down by 0.9%.

Both indices registered weekly declines with the Dow off 0.9% and the Nasdaq losing 1.5%.

US markets are closed today for the Martin Luther King holiday.
