SYDNEY, Oct 29 (Reuters) - Worries about China's slowing economy spread across Asian markets on Monday with U.S. stock futures turning down and Chinese shares in the red as concerns about U.S. corporate earnings and global growth continued to hit sentiment.
E-Mini futures for the S&P 500 ESc1 and Dow minis 1YMc1 declined about 0.3 percent each, reversing gains of as much as 0.4 percent earlier in the day. However, spreadbetters pointed to a firm start for Europe with FTSE futures FFIc1 up 0.5 percent.

The losses in Asia were largely led by China's blue-chip index .CSI300 which tumbled over 3.3 percent following disappointing earnings from the country's top liquor maker, Kweichow Moutai 600519.SS . Kong's Hang Seng index .HSI also turned red, leaving MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS mostly flat after rising over 0.5 percent earlier in the day.
Chinese data over the weekend underscored worries of a cooling economy as profit growth at its industrial firms slowed for the fifth consecutive month in September as sales of raw materials and manufactured goods ebbed. has projected China's real economic growth to slow to 6.4 percent year-on-year in the fourth quarter "amid trade headwinds and domestic uncertainties," compared to a 6.8 percent rise at the start of the year.

Wider sentiment in global financial markets has been hit by a range of negative factors from an intensifying China-U.S. trade conflict to worries about U.S. corporate earnings to Italian budget woes as well as Federal Reserve rate increases.
Analysts warn of more volatility after heavy losses across major equity indices left investors with negative returns for the year. Bears are on the rise, with some indices already in official correction territory amid heightened worries over corporate earnings and global growth.
"We're now over halfway through the U.S. earnings season and while headline growth remains strong, there are a number of trends making market participants nervous," asset manager Insight Investment wrote in a note to clients.
It cited "explicit commentary" by Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT) CAT.N , 3M (NYSE:MMM) MMM.N and Ford F.N on the adverse effects of U.S. import tariffs and disappointing revenue growth by Amazon AMZN.O and Alphabet GOOGL.O among top concerns for investors.
More companies have lagged forecasts this quarter with the beat rate on sales at 44 percent compared with 58 percent last quarter, Insight Investment said.
"European earnings are showing a similar trend, with only 43 percent beating estimates, the lowest in five years. Raw material costs appear to be the main headwind," it added.
