Stocks rose in most Asian markets, extending the biggest weekly advance since February. The euro and pound headed higher as the U.S. dollar came under pressure from sliding Treasury yields.
Equities climbed in Japan, Australia and Hong Kong, and slipped in Indonesia. Malaysia’s stocks erased earlier losses, while the ringgit performed better than anticipated as markets reopened following Wednesday’s unprecedented election result. European equity futures signaled a mixed open as U.S. contracts pointed to gains after stocks capped their best week in two months on Friday amid growing conviction that inflation will remain contained. Signs of easing trade tensions are also helping, with suppliers to China’s embattled ZTE Corp. rising.
