Asian stocks climbed Tuesday as a technology-led rebound in U.S. equities spread to the region. The pound surged on optimism about a revised Brexit plan.
Most benchmarks in the region rose though gains were pared as the session progressed, particularly in China. European and U.S. futures pointed higher after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indexes surged Monday, helped by news of a merger in the technology sector, an upgrade to Apple Inc., and signs of stabilization in American retail sales. Crude oil advanced after Saudi Arabia extended deeper-than-agreed production cuts into a second month. The yen dipped and Treasury yields ticked higher with risk assets back in favor. The dollar edged lower.
