  + stars: | 2023-08-29 | by ( Tom Westbrook | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
The yen remained an outlier and within a whisker of Monday's 10-month low, which has traders on edge about the risk of intervention. Over the weekend, China announced a halving in stock-trading stamp duties and had on Friday approved some guidelines for affordable housing. Hong Kong's Hang Seng (.HSI) closed less than 1% higher on Monday and was 1% firmer in early trade on Tuesday. On Tuesday in New Zealand shares in Tourism Holdings (THL.NZ), the world's largest campervan rental company, surged 13% after the company reported a record underlying profit. On Tuesday, U.S. job openings figures are due, ahead of Friday's broader labour market data and the ISM manufacturing survey.

Gold miners in Australia led a 1.3% jump for the S&P/ASX 200 (.AXJO). On Tuesday the Bank of Japan (BOJ) widened its trading band for 10-year government bond yields from 25 basis points (bps) either side of zero to 50 bps. The resultant drop for the U.S. dollar has spot gold prices testing six-month peaks and gold miners riding high. Benchmark 10-year Treasury yields rose four bps to a three-week high of 3.722%. Japanese 10-year yields rose 5.5 bps to 0.45%, close to the BOJ's 0.5% ceiling.
