(Bloomberg) -- Asian stock futures tipped a mixed start Tuesday after U.S. shares ended higher on easing trade tensions. The dollar surrendered gains while Treasuries were little changed.

Japanese futures were higher as were those on Chinese equities after news that China is considering removing limits on how many children a family can have. Equity-index futures in Australia and Hong Kong fell. Major U.S. equity gauges were higher from start to finish. The greenback ended Monday lower, as investors assessed prospects for Sino-American trade talks. West Texas crude climbed to the highest since November 2014.

While the easing protectionist tensions offered some respite to traders as they grapple with the impact of rising U.S. interest rates and a stronger dollar, this week is loaded with risk events. The Federal Reserve and European Central Bank are releasing their latest meeting minutes, and there is a slew of debt sales from the U.S. On the geopolitical front, U.S. President Donald Trump meets South Korea President Moon Jae-in in Washington to coordinate their approach to North Korea, while Brexit negotiations are ongoing.

Elsewhere, emerging-market currencies continued to come under pressure, with Turkey’s lira falling almost 2 percent. In Europe, Italian stocks sank and bond yields soared amid growing concern over the populist coalition’s fiscal plans. Even so, contagion to the euro was limited, as the currency nudged higher after five days of declines.
