Asian equities advanced alongside U.S. equity futures Thursday after a series of positive developments in U.S.-China trade talks buoyed global stocks. The British pound held its advance after U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May survived an attempt to oust her.
Gains accelerated from Japan to Australia, with Hong Kong and Chinese stocks outperforming. Futures on the S&P 500 rose as news broke that Chinese importers have bought U.S. soybeans. Earlier, the S&P 500 Index added to rallies in Europe and Asia, though the gains were pared in afternoon trading. The dollar nudged higher against peers and Treasuries were steady after overnight losses as data showed a key measure of U.S. inflation picked up as expected in November. The yen slipped amid the risk-on mood.
