Asia stocks make cautious gains as China worries slow recovery rally
Hampering broader global risk appetite, however, was U.S. President Donald Trump's vow to use force to end violent protests in American cities, which kept Wall Street stock futures negative in Asia.

The week had begun with a surge in riskier currencies and global equities after Trump's response to China's tightening grip on Hong Kong - with threats, not tariffs - was seen lowering the temperature of Sino-U.S. tension.

Dow futures slump Monday evening as Trump pledges military deployment if cities fail to quell civil unrest
U.S. stock-index futures headed lower in thin trading Monday evening as President Donald Trump said he would deploy military personnel across cities facing protests if state governors and local officials prove unable to contain civil unrest erupting across the nation. "I am dispatching thousands and thousands of heavily armed soldiers," Trump said on Monday at the White House, according to news reports. "If a city or state refuses to take the actions necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then I will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them," Trump said, at a news conference late Monday. Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were down 138 points, or 0.5%, at 25,327, those for the S&P 500 index were off 0.5% at 3,039, while Nasdaq-100 futures were off 0.3% at 9.568. Major cities from Los Angeles to New York have been engulfed in nightly protests after George Floyd, a black man, died last Monday following a confrontation with police in Minneapolis in which a white police officer, Derek Chauvin, was captured on video driving his knee onto Floyd's neck until the handcuffed man lost consciousness and later died. Curfews were announced Monday for Minneapolis and St. Paul, while New York's Gov. Andrew Cuomo placed New York City under curfew Monday night, for the first time in about eight years. However, the stock market has mostly trended higher as optimists focus on efforts by businesses to emerge from lockdown protocols implemented to curtail the spread of COVID-19. The Dow finished regular trade on Tuesday 91.91 points, or 0.4%, higher at 25,475.02, after trading negative at the start of Monday's session. The S&P 500 rose 11.42 points, or 0.4%, to end at 3,055.73; while The Nasdaq Composite added 62.18 points, or 0.7%, to close at 9,552.05. All 50 states have embarked on some stage of reopening from forced shutdowns. Meanwhile, a report from the Congressional Budget Office released on Monday, said the recessionary atmosphere triggered by the coronavirus caused it to lower its 2020-30 forecast for U.S. economic output by almost $8 trillion, or 3% of gross domestic product, relative to its January projections. GDP isn't expected to catch up to the previously forecast level until the fourth quarter of 2029, the CBO added. Investors have also been paying attention to rising Sino-American tensions, with Chinese government officials telling major state-run agricultural companies to pause purchases of some American farm goods, including pork and soybeans, according to reports.

Dow notches first gain in 3 sessions to kick of June as stock market shakes off worry about civil unrest and China
The Dow Jones Industrial booked its first gain of the past three sessions on Monday to start trading for the week and month of June. Markets appeared to be heartened by upbeat data from the Institute for Supply Management, whose manufacturing index for May rose to 43.1 from an 11-year low of 41.5 in April. A reading above 50.0 indicates an increase in activity, while a one below that level indicates contraction. The report indicated to many investors that the worst of the economic problems from closures induced by COVID-19 may be reaching a peak. The Dow rose nearly 92 points, or 0.4%, at 25,475, the S&P 500 index climbed 0.4% at about 3,056, while Nasdaq Composite Index advanced 0.7% at around 9,552. Markets appeared to focus on reopenings from the lockdowns that were intended to limit the spread of the novel strain of coronavirus, which appeared to overshadow protests over the weekend centered on the death of George Floyd, a black man who died under the knee of a white police officer last week in Minnesota. On the international front, Chinese government officials told major state-run agricultural companies to pause purchases of some American farm goods, including pork and soybeans, Reuters and Bloomberg News reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter. In corporate news, Pfizer shares fell 7.2% after the drugmaker said it would halt a study on a potential breast-cancer treatment.
