U.S. and European equity futures climbed along with Asian stocks and Treasury yields after a senior American official suggested progress on a trade deal with China. The yen dipped.
Equities climbed in Seoul, Tokyo and Sydney after White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said an agreement is “coming down to the short strokes.” Hong Kong shares edged higher, while Shanghai’s reversed gains. China’s yuan advanced against the dollar. Concerns about the difficulty of completing a phase-one pact had propelled Treasuries earlier this week, and arrested a U.S. stock rally that took benchmarks to record highs.
