Asian stocks traded mixed and U.S. futures pared losses as traders digested the news of President Donald Trump’s longtime lawyer pleading guilty to federal charges. The dollar maintained losses and Treasuries were little changed.
Michael D. Cohen’s plea deal had sparked mild demand for haven assets and sent U.S. equity futures lower, though there was little sign of a pronounced impact in markets. Japanese shares traded higher with Hong Kong stocks and equities underperformed in China and Australia. Cohen pleaded guilty to illegal campaign finance charges, all but naming Trump as having ordered him to do it. Trump’s former campaign chairman was earlier found guilty of tax fraud, among other charges. Earlier, the S&P 500 Index touched an intraday record high.
