Most Asian stocks dipped in a holiday-hit trading session Tuesday, with the dollar and U.S. Treasuries little changed as crude oil held around its highest New York level since 2014. Companies selling baby products saw gains after news that China plans to abandon its policy on childbirths, though the advances weren’t enough to hold up domestic Chinese equity benchmarks. Japan’s Topix Index edged lower, while Australian shares fell. Without fresh news on U.S.-China trade talks, investors may turn their attention later this week to minutes of the Federal Reserve’s May policy meeting for clues on the likely number of interest-rate hikes remaining this year.
