Treasuries and gold declined.Contracts on the S&P 500 rose alongside the Stoxx Europe 600 after a Chinese government spokesman said the economic superpowers would remove the duties in phases “as progress is made on the agreement.” China is also reportedly studying the removal of curbs on U.S. poultry imports. Shares advanced in Hong Kong and China’s yuan strengthened offshore. Equities trading in Shanghai and Tokyo had already closed.West Texas-grade oil futures rose past $57 a barrel in New York, and a Bloomberg index of commodities advanced. The pound weakened after two Bank of England policy makers unexpectedly voted for an interest rate cut.
