Asian stocks drifted Tuesday as swelling coronavirus infections across the U.S. weighed on risk assets overnight. Treasuries held on to Monday’s gains.
Equities fell in South Korea and Hong Kong, and were little changed elsewhere. Japanese shares pared losses as Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga unveiled around $380 billion in fiscal measures to help the economy recover from the pandemic. S&P 500 futures dipped after the benchmark dropped from an all-time high amid fears of restrictions as infections climb. Earlier, the Nasdaq 100 closed higher for a ninth straight day, its longest winning streak in almost a year.
Elsewhere, the pound pared overnight losses as the U.K. backed down from a threat to break the Brexit agreement. The dollar held gains against its major peers. Oil slipped and gold was steady after jumping more than 1% Monday
