Asian stocks retreated with European futures Tuesday after a mixed Wall Street session, amid caution over economic risks from virus-related curbs and ongoing U.S. fiscal stimulus talks. The dollar steadied.
A gauge of Asian stocks was set for its worst drop this month as shares fell in South Korea, China and Japan, where the government suspended its nationwide travel campaign amid record coronavirus cases. Australian coal stocks slid on reports China formally banned imports. S&P 500 contracts edged higher after the gauge capped its longest slide since September to trade about 1.5% below its Dec. 8 record. Oil fell and Treasury yields were little changed.
