Brent crude was steady near $87.70 a barrel on Tuesday after gaining about 10% over the previous four sessions. The advance in oil weighed on Treasuries, pushing the benchmark 10-year yield up six basis points to 4.71% in the previous session. There will be no cash trading in Treasuries during Asian hours Tuesday due to a Japan holiday.

Early focus in Asia is on the yen after the currency weakened 1% on Monday, erasing about half of its recent intervention-led rally. The move is psychologically significant for traders, who remain on alert for further official support. The yen was slightly stronger in early Tuesday trading at about 159.17 per dollar.

Elsewhere, Asian stocks and equity-index futures for US benchmarks edged lower. Australian government bonds fell ahead of an expected policy-rate hold by the central bank. Gold extended its advance for a third day, trading at about $4,400 an ounce.

Oil’s rally over the past week, amid little progress toward easing tensions in the Middle East, has revived worries over price pressures after Friday’s softer US jobs data tempered expectations for an immediate Federal Reserve interest-rate hike. Attention now turns to Wednesday’s US consumer price index report, which may offer fresh signals on the path for interest rates.
“The jobs report may have eased some anxieties about a Fed rate hike next month, but those concerns could hit new highs without cooler-than-expected inflation numbers this week,” said Chris Larkin at E*Trade from Morgan Stanley.
While stocks had seen a burst of enthusiasm about a possible reopening of Hormuz, markets may be less likely to respond positively to vague reports about progress in talks, he said.

President Donald Trump lashed out against Iran’s demands for compensation as part of talks to wind down the conflict, dimming hopes of a quick agreement that would reopen the strait. Trump had signaled on Sunday that he was prepared to let economic pressure on Iran build, rather than launch fresh strikes.

The closely watched consumer price index is seen rising 0.1% in July following a 0.4% decline in the prior month, based on the median projection in a Bloomberg survey of economists ahead of Wednesday’s Bureau of Labor Statistics release.

Fed Bank of Cleveland President Beth Hammack told Yahoo Finance it’s possible that a number of rate hikes may be needed to bring inflation down to the target.

“I would say in general, one 25-basis-point move probably doesn’t do a whole lot for the economy,” Hammack said Monday in an interview with Yahoo Finance. “So it’s probably some number,” but “I don’t want to prejudge what that number is going to be.”

President Donald Trump’s social media company reported a loss of $238m (£176m) between April and June as it branched into ventures unrelated to media, including cryptocurrencies.

The quarterly loss is more than 10 times the amount reported during the same period a year earlier, according to the Trump Media and Technology Group, which runs the President’s Truth Social platform.

The firm says it will refocus on its social media mission, which includes a controversial service that offers faster access to Trump’s market-moving posts to paying customers.

The group’s interim chief executive officer Kevin McGurn said on Monday that more than 10 customers have signed up for the new service.

The BBC has contacted Trump Media and Technology Group and the White House for further comment.

The company posted $1.7m in revenue, which it said is up 89% from the same period a year before, but suffered overall loss dure to the drop in cryptocurrencies.

It added that it closed the second quarter with total assets of $2bn and financial assets of around $1.9bn, which includes cash, short-term investments and digital currencies.

The group has yet to turn a profit, even as it expands into areas including cryptocurrency holdings and clean-energy investments.

In July, it announced a plan to give Wall Street traders faster access to Trump’s posts on Truth Social, widely viewed as a way to give subscribers an edge in trading stocks and other heavily traded assets.

The move has prompted a series of legal questions and ethical musings, including whether it is right that a company – of which the president’s family remains the majority shareholder – stands to profit from his own public statements.

The new service is “expected to provide the company with a new revenue stream,” Trump Media said in its earnings statement on Monday.

McGurn said: “I’m encouraged by this momentum, and shareholders should expect more frequent communication from us on our progress each quarter as we enter this next chapter.”
