All You Need To Know Going Into Trade On July 6

Asian stocks opened steady Tuesday as traders weigh a jump in crude oil amid an OPEC+ crisis that derailed a deal to boost output. Treasuries dipped as trading resumed after a U.S. holiday.

Gains were modest in Japan, Australia and South Korea. U.S. stocks and Treasury markets were closed Monday for the Independence Day holiday, keeping trading subdued. European shares edged higher and U.S contracts fluctuated in Asia. A gauge of the dollar was little changed.

The Singapore-traded SGX Nifty, an early indicator of India's Nifty 50 Index's performance, fell 0.12% at 15,844 as of 7 a.m.

OPEC+ was plunged into crisis as a worsening fight between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates blocked an oil-supply increase. The breakdown of talks has sent crude climbing toward $80 a barrel, but also raises the risk of a price war if the conflict at the alliance escalates.
