Asian markets were poised for a cautious open on Tuesday as White House and Republican congressional leaders stepped up lobbying to ensure Congress passes a debt-accord to head off a U.S. default.

Futures for Japan and Australia pointed to the slimmest of moves when those two markets open, while contracts for Hong Kong suggest more declines. A key gauge of Chinese shares is within a whisker of a bear market as a wobbling economic recovery, intensifying geopolitical tensions and a weaker yuan kept investors away.

Contracts on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 rose 0.3% and 0.5%, respectively, as they opened in Asia after each making small gains Monday in holiday-thinned trading. U.S. markets were closed for Memorial Day. European stocks wavered in muted holiday-affected trading Monday.

Meanwhile, the yield on 10-year treasuries in U.S. was trading at 3.77%. Crude was trading above $77-mark, while Bitcoin traded around 28,000-level.

At 05:33 a.m., the Singapore-traded SGX Nifty, an early indicator of the Nifty 50 Index’s performance in India, up 0.02% at 18,694.5.

Domestic benchmarks held on to steady gains to end higher as U.S. lawmakers reached a debt ceiling limit settlement, with NBFC and consumer durable stocks leading the advance. The Indian rupee closed lower against the U.S. dollar as it faced a stronger greenback in the overseas markets.

Foreign investors were net buyers for the sixth day and bought equities worth Rs 1,758.2 crore. On the other hand, domestic institutional investors were buyers for the seventh straight day and bought Rs 853.57 crore worth of equities, the NSE data showed.
