Asian stocks were mixed and U.S. equity futures were steady as traders weighed concerns about the impact of rising coronavirus cases and braced for key U.S. runoff elections. The dollar fell and gold held gains.
Shares dipped in Japan on Tuesday but rose in Hong Kong, China and South Korea. S&P 500 contracts fluctuated after the benchmark suffered its worst drop at the start of a year since 2016. European futures slipped. Treasuries were little changed, and the pound recouped some of the losses sparked by England’s third lockdown.
In a surprise U-turn, the New York Stock Exchange said it no longer plans to delist China’s three big telecommunication companies, backtracking on a plan that had threatened to escalate tensions between the world’s largest economies. The firms, China Mobile Ltd., China Telecom Corp. and China Unicom Hong Kong Ltd., rallied in Hong Kong.
