Asia lagged what was a pretty solid start to the new quarter for global stocks on Monday, and the steep rise in U.S. Treasury yields suggests it will be difficult session again on Tuesday for regional equities and emerging assets more broadly. The 10-year U.S. yield jumped 13 basis points to 4.50% on Monday - the highest yield and biggest one-day rise in a month - as investors repriced the potential inflationary impact from mooted fiscal, tariff, and immigration policies under a Donald Trump presidency. Wall Street, European, and world stocks powered through that headwind, Japanese stocks got a lift from the yen's slide back through 161.00 per dollar, and Chinese stocks drew strength from a positive surprise in domestic manufacturing sector data.
