Futures edged up in Japan and Australia but fell in Hong Kong. U.S. contracts were steady. Earlier, the S&P 500 hit a fresh peak, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 also climbed. Ten-year U.S. Treasury yields reached a one-month high amid a tepid 30-year auction and data highlighting price pressures and a labor market recovery. A gauge of the dollar advanced.
