(Jan 12) : Asian equities were poised to climb in early trading after US jobs data supported new highs for stocks on Friday. Japan’s market is closed for a public holiday Monday, which means there will be no US Treasuries trading in Asia. Separately, the US Supreme Court failed to weigh in on President Donald Trump’s tariffs, removing for now one impediment to equity gains. In currencies, the dollar was mixed against developed market peers in early Asian trading, strengthening against the Australian dollar and steady against the euro. Oil touched its longest run of weekly gains since June as Iran intensified a crackdown on protests across the country.
