Stocks traded mixed in Asia Tuesday as investors pondered concerns about the outlook for global trade and American politics. The dollar ticked higher as 10-year Treasury yields consolidated above 3 percent, and oil traded at a four-year high.
Equities climbed to the highest since February in Japan as traders returned from a holiday, though Chinese shares headed in the opposite direction after a long weekend. Australia was little changed. Hong Kong -- where stocks fell Monday on escalating trade tensions -- and South Korea are shut Tuesday. European equity-index futures flagged a muted open to trading there. The pound pared some of the gains made on Monday when the currency was buoyed by increasing talk of a second U.K. referendum on the final Brexit deal.
