Asian stocks steadied and U.S. equity futures ticked higher after Washington was said to be weighing postponing China tariffs for 60 days. Treasuries slipped alongside the dollar.
In a muted trading session, equity benchmarks drifted in Japan, China and Australia, and ticked lower in Hong Kong. Ten-year Treasury yields edged up to about 2.71 percent. European stock futures pointed to modest gains. The yuan climbed as Chinese data showed export growth unexpectedly rebounded in the first month of 2019. Imports fell, with companies trying to ship goods ahead of the Lunar New Year shutdown likely boosting the result.
