Equities in Asia drifted Tuesday as traders awaited central bank meetings amid expectations of dovish signals to monetary policy. The dollar steadied after recent declines, while the yen edged higher.
Stocks posted modest losses in Japan, China and Hong Kong and were little changed in Australia. U.S. equity futures ticked higher after the S&P 500 Index climbed to a five-month high Monday. European equity futures were mixed. The pound pared losses that came after the speaker of Parliament blocked another vote on Prime Minister Theresa May’s current Brexit plan. The yield on 10-year Treasuries nudged lower to just under 2.6 percent. Australia’s three-year bond yield slid below the 1.5 percent policy rate for the first time since September 2016.
