Asian stocks pushed higher on Tuesday after further records on Wall Street overnight, spurred by signs the U.S. and China are inching toward a trade deal. Treasuries extended declines. Shares outperformed in Tokyo after a holiday Monday, and were higher in Sydney, Shanghai and Hong Kong. Earlier, the Dow Jones Industrial Average claimed its first all-time high since July, and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes also hit records. The yen slipped on the risk-on mood, while Australian bonds dropped. - Bloomberg
