Stocks, Yields Gain on Renewed Trade-Deal Hopes: Markets Wrap
|
Asian stocks and U.S. futures rose along with Treasury yields after a senior American official suggested progress on a trade deal with China. The yen dipped. Equities rose in Tokyo, Sydney and Seoul after White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said an agreement is “coming down to the short strokes.” Hong Kong shares also gained, while Shanghai’s were flat. China’s yuan advanced against the dollar. Concerns about the difficulty of completing a phase-one pact had propelled Treasuries earlier this week, and arrested a U.S. stock rally that took benchmarks to record highs.-Bloomberg |
