Stocks in Asia fluctuated Monday as the Easter holiday weekend continued in many countries. Crude oil pushed higher on a report over Iranian oil waivers.
Chinese stocks and bonds fell as investors wagered future monetary policy stimulus will be limited, while shares in Japan and Korea swung between gains and losses. U.S. futures slipped. The dollar ticked higher alongside Treasury yields. Traders will look to a week full of company earnings releases, in particular from technology firms, before turning their focus to the U.S. economy, with first quarter gross domestic product data due Friday.
