Asian stocks traded modestly higher and U.S. equity futures pointed to a gain on expectation Beijing might add economic stimulus after data showed China’s economy lost steam in April. The yuan was little changed and the dollar ticked higher.
Stocks in China, Hong Kong and South Korea rose, with shares in Japan lagging. Trading volumes remained lackluster, signaling little conviction in the gains, with investors still reeling from the breakdown in trade negotiations in the past week. The Australian dollar was the biggest loser among the world’s largest currencies after the China data. Oil dropped on a report of a jump in U.S. stockpiles.
