Stocks, dollar eye weekly rise on hints of tariff relief
SINGAPORE/HONG KONG (Reuters) -Asian stock markets headed for a second straight week of gains on Friday and the dollar for its first weekly rise in more than a month as investors focused on signs the U.S. and China were prepared to pull back from their trade war. European futures rose 0.6% and FTSE futures were up 0.2%. Tit-for-tat tariffs that began with U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of hefty import levies on April 2 had threatened to stall trade between the world's two biggest economies and prompted concern about a slowdown in global growth.
