Asian bonds rose alongside Treasury futures as oil prices extended their decline after the US signaled progress in diplomatic efforts to end the war with Iran. Stocks edged up. Government bonds in Australia and New Zealand rallied, with 10-year yields in both countries falling at least three basis points. Ten-year Treasury futures also climbed, while cash trading in Treasuries will start in London due to a holiday in Japan. Brent was poised for its longest losing streak in a year as President Donald Trump said US officials had a “very good” meeting with Iranian envoys after Washington renewed efforts to end the conflict. Oil dropped 1.2% to about $98 a barrel. Meanwhile, MSCI’s Asia Pacific stocks index edged up 0.1% after chipmakers drove the Nasdaq 100 to its first record since June. Equity-index futures indicated more modest gains for Wall Street benchmarks, while European shares were set to open 0.4% higher. With the economic data calendar thin this week, traders are focused on developments around Iran for signs that oil prices may fall further, easing inflation concerns and pressure on bonds after yields climbed to multi-decade highs earlier this month. Attention is also on an upcoming meeting between the US and Chinese presidents, with tariffs and broader commercial tensions set to feature prominently. In other corners of the market, a Bloomberg gauge of the dollar extended its gains into a fourth session, climbing 0.1%. Investors awaited a speech by Federal Reserve Governor Michael Barr for clues on interest-rate policy after another official warned that inflation pressures may persist. Gold slipped 0.4% to about $4,345 an ounce. Bitcoin rose more than 1% to about $87,200. Meta Platforms Inc.’s new Muse AI agent was again in the spotlight, with Shopify Inc. shares jumping 7.1% after the companies struck a partnership. Meanwhile, concerns that AI could erode margins and fees at financial brokerages drove US financial stocks lower. Traders are also looking to the summit between Trump and China’s Xi Jinping later this week for signs of progress on trade and other economic disputes. Trump is welcoming Xi to Washington in a visit focused more on pageantry than policy, with low expectations for breakthroughs on long-standing feuds between the world’s biggest economies.
