YOUR PHILLIP SUMMARY
Stocks in Asia edged higher after a week that’s seen the equity rally stall amid conflicting signals on a U.S.-China trade talks front. The pound climbed on reports Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party has privately agreed to back the Brexit deal.
Japanese stocks saw modest gains as did their Australian counterparts. Technology shares were in focus after a weak sales forecast from Intel Corp. Sentiment remained fragile as Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross said the world’s two biggest economies remain “miles and miles” apart on trade. White House economic adviser Lawrence Kudlow later said President Donald Trump is optimistic about trade talks and the January jobs report will be up a significant amount. Treasuries steadied after Thursday’s climb and the dollar held gains.
