MSCI’s gauge of stocks across the globe gained 0.09%. Nikkei futures were up about .07% and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index futures rose 0.23%.
In early trade, Australia’s S&P ASX 200 climbed 0.46%.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.2%, while the S&P 500 gained 0.18%. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.05%.
