Oil prices supported by Mideast strife

Recasts top, adds quote in paragraph 12, updates prices throughout

LONDON/SYDNEY, Sept 30 (Reuters) -World shares ticked lower on Monday as economic uncertainty fuelled by strife in the Middle East offset policy measures meant to buoy markets, ahead of a week packed with data that could determine central banks' next steps.

Continued Israeli strikes across Lebanon added geopolitical uncertainty to the mix, though oil prices were still restrained by the risk of increased supply. O/R

Brent crude oil futures LCOc1 rose 52 cents to $72.50, while West Texas Intermediate was up 40 cents at $68.58.

While storm Helene had mostly passed, leaving devastation in many parts of the southern United States, a new tropical depression headed for landfall was expected to become another large and powerful hurricane later this week.

Hurricanes that hit the U.S. South and Eastern seaboard disrupt the supply chain of oil products and stoke supply concerns from the world's current largest producer of oil.

Meanwhile, in China brokerages were overwhelmed by a pre-holiday rush of retail clients, jamming up trading systems as investors rotated money out of bonds and deposits into stocks.

Government stimulus measures announced last week continued to boost Chinese stock markets, with the blue-chip CSI300 .CSI300 closing up 8.5%, its biggest daily gain since 2008 and adding to its 25% run-up in the last five trading sessions.

The Shanghai Composite .SSEC climbed 7.1%, on top of last week's 13% rally. Japan's Nikkei dived, closing down about 5% on concerns the country's new prime minister favoured normalising interest rates but might hike taxes on investments and corporations.

That helped the dollar to holdaround 142.44 yen JPY=EBS, after sliding 1.8% on Friday from a 146.49 top. USD/

Frothy markets in Asia offered no succour to Europe, which opened lower on Monday as investors prepared for a week packed with economic data.

The STOXX 600 .STOXX was last down 0.7%, weighed down by profit warnings and poor growth outlooks from the auto sector.

"The Chinese stimulus has created some noise but the market may be front-running these first few steps, which might lead to disappointment later if measures don't continue," said Matt Tickle, chief investment officer at consultancy Barnett Waddingham.

Tickle said he'd take little comfort on longer term themesuntil he was certain on what would come next, not only from China's central bank, but from policymakers around the world.

"It's central bank watch, yet again," said Tickle.

The week is packed with major U.S. economic data including a payrolls report that could decide whether the Federal Reserve delivers another outsized rate cut in November.

WALL ST ON A ROLL

The rally in China helped MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS firm 0.1%, having surged over 6% last week to a seven-month high.

Wall Street also had a rousing week helped by a benign reading on core U.S. inflation on Friday that left the door open to another half-point rate cut from the Fed.

A host of Fed speakers will have their say this week, led by Chair Jerome Powell later on Monday. Also due are data on job openings and private hiring, along with ISM surveys on manufacturing and services.

S&P 500 futures ESc1 dipped 0.1%, while Nasdaq futures NQc1 ticked down 0.2%. The S&P 500 .SPX index is up 20% year-to-date and on track for its strongest January-September performance since 1997.

In currency markets, the dollar index fell 0.2% to 100.22 =USD after easing 0.3% last week. The euro climbed 0.3% to $1.1200 EUR=EBS, having bounced on Friday after a benign U.S. inflation report. USD/

The euro zone releases inflation figures this week, along with producer prices and unemployment. German inflation and retail sales are due later on Monday, while European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde speaks to the European parliament.

A softer dollar combined with lower bond yields to help gold reach $2,685 an ounce. It was last at $2,650 an ounce XAU=, and on track for its best quarter since 2016. GOL/
