BANGKOK (AP) — Shares advanced in Asia on Monday, a day ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump’s deadline for imposing higher tariffs on goods imported from China.

Markets in Japan and Thailand were closed for holidays.

The Hang Seng in Hong Kong edged 0.2% higher to 24,908.37, while the Shanghai Composite index gained 0.5% to 3,653.50.

Triple digit tariffs imposed by Trump and Beijing were paused for 90 days in May to allow time for talks.

Tuesday is the deadline for extending that truce. The last round of negotiations, held last month in Stockholm, ended without a clear word from Trump on whether the deadline would be extended for another 90 days.

Elsewhere in Asia, Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.3% to 8,831.40, while the Kospi in South Korea was nearly unchanged, at 3,210.76.
