Asian stocks declined as investors assessed the implications of ongoing trade talks between the U.S. and China. The dollar remained under pressure ahead of the monthly U.S. jobs report, while the Aussie advanced.
Stocks from Sydney to Hong Kong retreated. The Aussie rose as traders assessed the Reserve Bank of Australia’s decision to edge up core inflation and unemployment forecasts. The 10-year Treasury yield dipped overnight. With Japan closed for a public holiday, Treasuries will remain shut until the London session. U.K. stock index futures climbed, indicating losses from Asia won’t spread to Europe.
