About this listen
Asian equities are poised for a positive open as traders brush off President Donald Trump's latest tariff threats as bargaining tactics that are unlikely to derail global trade. Stock-index futures for Japan, Hong Kong and Australia pointed to a higher open in early Asian trading. The S&P 500 eked out a gain Monday as Trump indicated he's open to trade talks, though still insisted his new tariff rates are "the deals." Contracts for the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq edged lower and Bitcoin retreated from its record high. We get some market perspective from Carol Schleif, Chief Market Strategist at BMO Private Wealth.
Plus - Mizuho Financial Group CEO Masahiro Kihara is signaling that he is confident the Japanese lender can meet its long-term target of about ¥1 trillion - or $6.8 billion - in annual profit even as trade wars threaten to stifle growth. He speaks with Bloomberg's Francine Lacqua in London.
