Asian stocks muted at open before earnings barrage

Australia’s benchmark stock gauge rose 0.4%, while equity-index futures for Hong Kong and China showed marginal moves. Contracts for the S&P 500 swung between small gains and losses after a late wave of buying wiped out losses in US stocks. The dollar steadied after falling Monday. There’s no trading of cash Treasuries in Asia as Tokyo is closed for a public holiday, and they will open at the start of the European session.
