**亚洲股市星期一下跌**
亚洲股市星期一下跌， 投资者由于担心中国制造业数据下跌和美国经济走势而抛售股票。
欧洲股市星期一下午涨跌互现。美国股指星期一开盘时在上星期五大跌之后略有上升。
星期一，日本等亚洲国家股市全面下跌，日经255指数和东证指数均下跌3%以上，韩国和澳大利亚股市也大幅回落。
之前恒生中国制造业指数5月份跌至49.2，是7个月以来的最低点。
投资者还担心美国联邦储备银行可能会因为连续传来的好的经济报告而削减旨在刺激美国经济增长的大规模购买债券计划。
**Asian Markets Fall**
Asian stock markets fell Monday, as investors continued selling on concerns about weak Chinese manufacturing data and the direction of the U.S. economy.
European stocks were mixed in afternoon trading and U.S. indexes edged higher as the week's trading opened in New York. U.S. markets fell sharply on Friday.
Japanese stocks led the losses across Asia on Monday, as the benchmark Nikkei 225 index and the Topix index both lost more than three percent. Indexes in South Korea and Australia also suffered significant losses.
The sell-off in Asia accelerated after an HSBC Chinese manufacturing index fell to 49.2 in May, the lowest mark in at least seven months.
Investors are also concerned over speculation the U.S. Federal Reserve may begin scaling back its massive bond buying program aimed at stimulating the U.S. economy, after a series of positive economic reports.
**美国对巴勒斯坦新总理人选表示欢迎**
美国对巴勒斯坦的新总理人选表示欢迎，并说学界人士拉米•哈姆达拉赫是在面对挑战和机遇的时刻被任命为总理的。
巴勒斯坦民族权力机构主席阿巴斯责成哈姆达拉赫在约旦河西岸组建巴勒斯坦新内阁，以取代萨拉姆•法耶兹。法耶兹于4月宣布辞职，并于本月正式离职。
美国国务卿克里星期日发表声明，祝贺哈姆达拉赫就任，并表示美国可与巴勒斯坦新政府合作，探索通过谈判方式与以色列达成以巴两国共存协议的途径。
控制加沙地带的伊斯兰激进组织哈马斯拒绝接受对哈姆达拉赫的任命。哈马斯发言人说，这项任命是非法的，并声称这一任命不会有助于巴勒斯坦实现团结。
**US Welcomes Selection of New Palestinian PM**
The United States has welcomed the selection of a new Palestinian prime minister, saying the choice of academic Rami Hamdallah comes at a "moment of challenge" and a "moment of opportunity."
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas asked Hamdallah to form a new Palestinian Cabinet in West Bank, replacing Salam Fayyad, who announced his resignation in April and formally leaves this month.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry congratulated Hamdallah in a statement Sunday, saying the United States can work with the new government on a path to a negotiated two-state settlement with Israel.
The Islamic militant group Hamas, which controls the rival Gaza Strip, has rejected the appointment. A spokesman calls it "illegal" and says it will not help bring Palestinian unity.
