Asian equities are set to open lower on Tuesday after optimism over a potential US-EU tariff accord faded, tempering risk sentiment ahead of a packed calendar of corporate earnings and macroeconomic releases. Futures linked to benchmarks in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Sydney all declined in late-Monday trading, while the S&P/ASX 200, Nikkei 225 and Kospi were each indicated about 0.6% to 1.1% weaker at the start of cash trading. The softer tone in regional markets follows a mixed U.S. session and comes as the dollar steadied after recording its biggest one-day advance since May. Investors are positioning for a series of earnings reports and economic data later in the week that could clarify the outlook for global growth and interest-rate policy.
