Stocks rose Thursday and U.S. equity futures were steady as the global recovery and President Joe Biden’s infrastructure plan helped traders look past escalating curbs from Covid-19 flareups. Bonds trimmed losses.
A gauge of Asia-Pacific shares was set for its first climb in three days, with Hong Kong leading gains, after data signaled regional manufacturing picked up. S&P 500 contracts were little changed while Nasdaq 100 and European futures edged up. The tech-heavy U.S. index rallied overnight, beating the S&P 500.
Ten-year Treasury yields dipped after sealing the worst quarterly performance since 1980 for the Bloomberg Barclays index tracking U.S. government bonds. Oil gained ahead of a high-stakes OPEC+ meeting that will debate whether to extend supply curbs. The dollar ticked higher.
Traders monitored halts in a number of Hong Kong-listed stocks, with some attributing the move to their failure to report earnings in time.
