Stocks climbed Friday with U.S. and European futures, following Wall Street higher on signs of a healing labor market and improving coronavirus trends. Treasuries were steady after a widely watched segment of the yield curve steepened to levels last seen in 2015.
Japan and South Korea were among markets leading Asian gains. S&P 500 futures ticked higher after the benchmark closed up more than 1% at a record, led by banks and tech shares, while the Russell 2000 Index of smaller companies climbed 2%. Earnings remained in focus with EBay Inc. and PayPal Holdings Inc. surging on upbeat forecasts. The dollar held an overnight gain. Crude oil advanced and gold steadied after Thursday’s decline.
In Hong Kong, short-video startup Kuaishou Technology surged more than 190% on its debut after one of the city’s biggest initial-public offerings in years.
