Stocks in Asia chalked up modest gains in thin trading, while European and U.S. futures pointed to advances as traders returned from U.S. and U.K. holidays. Treasuries edged higher.
Shares climbed in Japan, China and Hong Kong on lower-than-usual volumes due to the Memorial Day holiday in the U.S. and a U.K. market closure Monday. President Donald Trump’s declaration Monday that the U.S. was “not ready” to reach a trade deal with China had little impact. The yuan dipped as Tuesday’s session wore on. U.S. 10-year yields approached their lowest levels since October 2017. The pound held losses as traders kept watch on the contest to choose Britain’s next prime minister amid the Brexit quagmire.
