U.S. equity futures climbed alongside Treasury yields and the yuan rose after China said its vice commerce minister will visit America for trade talks in late August. The dollar slipped against most major peers.
S&P 500 Index futures rose and the greenback, which has seen recent strength on its role of a haven, fell for the first time in six days. Equities stayed lower in most Asian markets though trimmed declines as news broke of the proposed meeting. Oil pared gains following a report that showed an increase in American stockpiles. The Australian dollar jumped as hopes on trade outweighed a decline in June employment. Emerging-market shares slipped, with the intraday drop from their January high reaching 20 percent.
