Asian stocks slipped after a flat session on Wall Street, as investors stayed cautious amid a week packed with economic data and corporate earnings. The MSCI Asia-Pacific gauge dropped 0.7%, a third consecutive day of decline. The dollar steadied Tuesday after climbing the most since May in the prior session. The S&P 500 briefly topped 6,400, but closed little changed. Oil held its gain after President Donald Trump pushed for Russia to reach a swift truce with Ukraine or face potential economic penalties. We talk markets with Vance Howard, CEO and Portfolio Manager at Howard Capital Management.

Plus - Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says a 90-day extension of a trade truce with China was a likely outcome with negotiations between the two countries underway in Stockholm. Lutnick's comments followed the start of a new round of talks between the world's two largest economies - this time in Stockholm, where Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent led the respective delegations. Earlier rounds saw Washington and Beijing agree to reduce tit-for-tat levies and ease export controls on certain technology and rare-earth minerals, easing tensions that had rattled financial markets as Trump moves to enact a sweeping tariff agenda. We get perspective from Marc Franklin, Managing Director & Senior Portfolio Manager, Asset Allocation, Asia at Manulife Investment Management. He speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong on The Asia Trade.
