Asia stocks climbed after U.S. benchmarks halted a three-day slide, with investors migrating to value from growth companies as signs of a strengthening labour market tempered inflation worries.

Indices in South Korea, Australia and Japan also gained for the first time in four sessions. The Singapore-traded SGX Nifty, an early indicator of India's Nifty 50 Index’s performance, rose 1.2% to 14,683.50 as of 7:10 a.m.

Investors will be watching China’s open after MSCI Inc.’s index covering the country’s stocks fell into bear-market territory.

U.S. futures edged higher, following gains in the major benchmarks. Industrial and financial shares outperformed overnight, while energy producers joined a slump in oil.

Bitcoin pared some of the losses sparked by Musk’s comments, trading around $50,000

Treasuries rallied from the prior session’s weakness, with the 10-year yield easing to 1.66% despite a lacklustre auction of 30-year bonds. The Federal Reserve tweaked its purchasing plan to focus more on longer-dated Treasuries, while leaving the $80 billion monthly total unchanged.

Meanwhile, concerns about a possible pullback in Fed support have stalled the rally in commodities. Oil slumped the most in over a month as growing inflation concerns raise the spectre of a less accommodative central bank.

USD/INR up 0.1%, the biggest rise since April 19, at 73.4263
The rupee came off day’s lows as foreign banks sold with stock inflows expected from MSCI Index rebalancing, says Amit Pabari, managing director at CR Forex
The Covid-19 situation has been largely factored in by markets, providing an attractive entry point for the rupee, according to Irene Goh, head of multi-asset solutions at Aberdeen Standard Investment
CPI probably rose 4.10% y/y in April, compared with a 5.52% gain in March, according to a Bloomberg survey

Addressing vaccine supply bottlenecks, bringing more types of vaccines to market, and aggressively increasing the vaccination goal, are all expected to be positive drivers for the currency in the near term.
