Asian equities rounded out the week in mixed fashion as investors gauged whether China and the U.S. can de-escalate their trade spat before the G-20 summit later this month. The yen gained.
Stocks slipped in Japan, but climbed in most other markets, notably China and Hong Kong. While trade-sensitive industrials led the S&P 500 Index higher and tech stocks rebounded, U.S. futures fell after Nvidia Corp. gave a disappointing sales forecast and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross damped hopes of any imminent U.S.-China deal. The pound steadied after Thursday’s plunge as Brexit again threw the U.K. government into turmoil. The dollar slid and Treasuries were steady. Oil held below $57 a barrel in New York.
