Asian stocks saw muted trading Tuesday as investors turned cautious ahead of the week’s potential catalysts, from central bank meetings to a looming tariff deadline. Treasuries and the dollar were steady.
Equities were little changed in Tokyo, Shanghai and Hong Kong, modestly higher in Seoul and lower in Sydney, as investors awaited news on whether Washington will go ahead with a planned Dec. 15 tariff hike. Volumes were below average. European and U.S. futures were little changed. Earlier, U.S. shares ended at session lows in thin trading. Japan’s 10-year bond yield briefly touched zero for the first time since March.
