Equity benchmarks advanced in Japan and Australia, while South Korea was little changed. U.S. stock futures fluctuated. The S&P 500 wiped out last week’s losses, while the technology-heavy Nasdaq 100 also gained, aided by receding concerns about the severity of the omicron virus variant.

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. led a rebound in Chinese tech firms listed in the U.S., after the company announced a management shakeup.
The U.S. treasury yields rose sharply Monday, erasing most of Friday’s steep declines, amid corporate bond offerings. The curve steepened, reversing a trend in which expectations for Federal Reserve rate increases had buoyed short-dated yields. The dollar was steady and oil surged.
