Asian stocks rose after gains in the U.S. overnight, and futures on the S&P 500 Index pushed higher. Japanese bond futures and U.S. Treasuries fell after a weak auction in Tokyo.
The month kicked off in the black for a Japanese equity market that has lately lured interest for its relatively cheap valuations. Korean stocks also gained though trading was subdued with China and Hong Kong shut for holidays. The dollar added to Monday gains, and European futures ticked higher. Investors remain focused on U.S.-China trade talks scheduled for next week, with little impact seen as yet from President Donald Trump’s impeachment troubles.
