Stocks saw a muted start to the week in Asia as investors await fresh developments on the U.S.-China trade front. The pound strengthened as Conservatives pledged to back Brexit.
Japanese equities were little changed, while Hong Kong outperformed, though that market tumbled last week and its resilience is being tested by continuing unrest in the city. Shares in Australia and South Korea dropped. U.S. futures were flat after the S&P 500 Index Friday reached another record in a sixth week of gains, the longest run in two years. Ten-year Treasury yields steadied around 1.82%. The yuan dipped and shares advanced after China lowered some borrowing costs.
