Stocks in Asia rallied with U.S. and European futures ticking higher as gains that pushed global equities to their highest since October continued ahead of this week’s Federal Reserve policy meeting. Treasuries were little changed.
Chinese and Hong Kong shares led the advance with Australian and South Korean equities posting more modest gains. U.S. futures reversed earlier losses to edge higher after the S&P 500 Index capped its best week since November on Friday. The 10-year Treasury yield stayed below 2.6 percent. The dollar drifted, while the Aussie strengthened.
