Stocks rose in Australia and dipped in South Korea. Japan is shut for a holiday and Hong Kong will reopen from one. U.S. futures climbed after the S&P 500 pushed higher for the first time in five sessions and the Nasdaq 100 advanced.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank could begin scaling back asset purchases in November and complete the process by mid-2022. Officials also revealed a growing inclination to raise interest rates next year. Shorter-maturity Treasury notes fell while longer-maturity debt edged higher. The dollar rose. Cash Treasuries won’t trade in Asia because of the Japan holiday.
