U.S. equity futures, Canada’s dollar and Mexico’s peso all climbed as American and Canadian negotiators reached a deal to preserve a three-way trade bloc with Mexico. There was little follow-through to other markets, with Asian trading thinned by holidays.
Japanese shares were mixed, though the Nikkei 225 Stock Average managed to close at its highest level since 1991. FTSE 100 futures tipped a modest drop in U.K. stocks. Contracts on the S&P 500 Index indicated it will extend its advance after the best quarter since 2013. Oil gained on concern of an impending supply crunch. U.S. 10-year Treasury yields ticked higher, to 3.07 percent.
