Asian stocks to rise after US shrugs off Powell

Stocks and bonds retreated as traders pause after November’s blockbluster rally and debate the case for interest rate cuts. Bitcoin surged past $41,000, while gold briefly touched an all time high.

The 10-year Treasury yield added four basis points to 4.24%, while European stocks and US futures posted modest losses. Gold surpassed $2,130 an ounce before giving up gains for the day.

A slew of economic reports this week are expected to shed light on the state of the US labor market and whether markets are prematurely excited that softer economic conditions can open the door to Federal Reserve rate cuts.
