SINGAPORE (Reuters) - U.S. stock futures extended their gains and rose more than 1 percent in Asian hours on Tuesday as remarks by Chinese President Xi Jinping helped soothe investor jitters over U.S.-China trade tensions.
The S&P 500 E-mini futures (ESc1) rose 1.0 percent, and Asian shares also pushed higher, with the MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares (MIAPJ0000PUS) gaining 0.5 percent on the day.
