Stocks in Asia traded mixed Tuesday, with many markets closed for the Lunar New Year. The dollar edged lower and Treasury yields stabilized after gains.
Australian shares staged the biggest climb in more than two years as financials rallied after the results of a yearlong inquiry into misconduct in the financial services sector published Monday were not as harsh as had been anticipated. Japanese stocks were little changed and U.S. futures edged lower in Asian trading. European futures suggested the markets will open higher. The Australian dollar reversed a slide prompted by disappointing retail sales data after the central bank refrained from adopting a dovish tilt as it left interest rates unchanged.
