Most Asian markets advanced on Monday as investors awaited further details on upcoming U.S.-China trade talks, set to begin later in the day in Stockholm.

The talks—led by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng—are expected to cover a broader range of topics, and Bessent anticipates an extension of the current trade truce between the world’s two largest economies.

A trade deal between the U.S. and EU boosted market sentiment and offered some clarity ahead of major policy decisions by the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan later in the week.
