PHILLIP SUMMARY
Asian stocks are poised for a firmer open Tuesday after a surge in technology stocks led U.S. gains. The Chinese yuan extended its decline following steps to curtail its rally. Futures indicated more modest gains in Japan, Australia and Hong Kong than on Wall Street where technology leaders including Amazon.com, Apple and Twitter fueled the rally. The S&P 500 extended gains into a fourth day and the Nasdaq 100 posted its biggest advance since April after surging as much as 4.1%. The yen advanced as the dollar put in a mixed performance against its Group-of-10 peers. The Treasury market was closed for a U.S. holiday. Elsewhere, oil slumped with workers in the U.S. Gulf heading back following Hurricane Delta’s landfall and Libya taking a major step toward reopening its biggest field.
