YOUR PHILLIP SUMMARY
Asian stocks fell with U.S. futures after President Donald Trump’s top trade negotiator said the U.S. plans to proceed with a tariff hike on Chinese goods on Friday. The Chinese yuan dipped.
Korean and Japanese shares slid as both markets came back online after holidays. The drop in Tokyo was still relatively modest after Japan was shut for six trading days, perhaps helped somewhat by a relatively muted climb in the yen amid the renewal of trade-war tensions. Treasuries climbed, along with Japanese government bonds, in the wake of U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer’s confirmation of the planned tariff increase. Indications that China will still send a delegation to Washington this week had helped temper declines on Wall Street, with the S&P 500 closing off of its lows of the session Monday.
