The 10-year Treasury yield touched above 2.97 percent and the dollar held last week’s advance, while stocks in Asia were mostly lower as investors continued to assess the outlook for trade discussions and geopolitical tensions.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index of stocks declined, with technology companies among the worst performers after a sell-off in their U.S. counterparts on Friday. Equities struggled to find direction through most of the Asian session, while S&P 500 Index and FTSE 100 Index futures advanced. The yen dropped against the dollar, at the start of a week that sees earnings season ramping up and a slew of economic data from Japan to the U.S. Australian and Japanese bond yields climbed, matching rises in the U.S.
