Asian equities are poised for a positive open as traders brush off President Donald Trump’s latest tariff threats as bargaining tactics that are unlikely to derail global trade.
Stock-index futures for Japan, Hong Kong and Australia pointed to a higher open in early Asian trading. The S&P 500 eked out a gain Monday as Trump indicated he’s open to trade talks, though still insisted his new tariff rates are “the deals.” Contracts for the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq edged lower and Bitcoin retreated from its record high.
