Asian stocks are ending a bruising week on a positive note after an easing in trade tensions between China and the U.S and positive results from Walmart boosted American shares. The dollar edged lower alongside Treasuries.
Equities from Sydney to Hong Kong advanced after all major U.S. stock benchmarks climbed. Emerging market shares rose for the first time in eight sessions. Commodities steadied after rebounding alongside the currencies of nations reliant on raw-materials, like Australia. The Turkish lira pared some of its gains as U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Turkey would face more sanctions if the country didn’t release a detained American pastor.
