Asian equities advanced Thursday, putting them on track to end the longest losing streak in 16 years, after news of potential U.S.-China trade negotiations. The dollar pared a decline and China’s yuan held gains.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose after 10 days of losses, with Hong Kong and Japanese shares leading the charge. Futures pointed lower for stocks in Europe and New York. Treasuries steadied, while U.S. stocks ended Wednesday mixed. Crude oil pared its biggest two-day increase as traders keep watch on Hurricane Florence’s path to the U.S. east coast. The euro and the pound slipped ahead of policy decisions from the European Central Bank and the Bank of England.
