Most Asian stocks and U.S. equity futures climbed Monday after the S&P 500 Index hit a record on weak jobs data that added to the case for ongoing stimulus. Gasoline and crude oil rose after a cyberattack forced the closure of a key U.S. pipeline.
The materials sector led gains in an Asia-Pacific share index as commodities advanced. Australian stocks are on track to close at an all-time high, while Hong Kong underperformed. Gasoline jumped as much as 4.2% to a three-year high before paring the increase, with U.S. operator Colonial Pipeline providingno timeline for a restart following a shutdown late Friday due to a ransomware attack.
Iron ore futures in Singapore surged on strong demand from China. A “Goldilocks scenario” seems to be transpiring for commodities as the global recovery from the pandemic progresses, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
The dollar trimmed losses after tumbling Friday, while the pound jumped to a 10-week high after results showed Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s party made strides in local elections. Treasury yields edged up toward 1.60% as traders brace for a busy week of auctions.
