Asian stocks opened firmer Tuesday after a boost to the U.S. vaccination drive allayed some concerns over the delta strain’s impact, lifting U.S. shares. The dollar held a drop and oil steadied after surging.

Equities climbed in Japan, South Korea and Australia. The Singapore-traded SGX Nifty, an early indicator of India's Nifty 50 Index’s performance, climbed 0.5% to 16,577 as of 7:15 a.m.

U.S. futures nudged higher after Wall Street extended a rebound on full approval for the Pfizer Inc.-BioNTech SE shot, which raises the prospect of more vaccine mandates to underpin economic reopening. The Nasdaq 100 reached a record.

Commodities held a surge -- including oil’s biggest jump in nine months overnight in New York -- in a return of the reflation trade linked to the recovery from the pandemic. Treasuries were steady ahead of the Jackson Hole symposium.

In China, the central bank in a statement called for more credit support for the real economy, especially smaller companies. Separately, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has begun issuing new disclosure requirements to Chinese companies seeking to go public in New York, according to a report.

Elsewhere, gold was around the highest in more than two weeks and Bitcoin traded at about $50,000.
