U.S. stocks closed mixed on Tuesday, with market focus shifting from politics to corporate earnings after a three-day government shutdown came to an end on Monday. Of note, shares of Netflix jumped 10 percent after the video streaming company reported expectation-topping subscriber growth numbers.

Meanwhile, trade concerns simmered in the background after President Donald Trump approved tariffs on imported solar cells and certain washing machines earlier this week. South Korea indicated on Tuesday that it would raise the matter with the World Trade Organization.

“Outside of stepping away from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, this was the first real shift from protectionist rhetoric to actual action against China and others,” ANZ Research said in a morning note, although it acknowledged the economic impact appeared “relative minor” for the time being.

“[T]he real question is how far the protectionist stance might start to be extended,” Richard Yetsenga, chief economist at ANZ, said in the note.

In currencies, the greenback’s rally late during Tuesday Asia trade subsided. At 6:45 a.m. HK/SIN, the dollar traded at 110.23 against the yen. The dollar had risen as high as 111.17 in the Monday session after the Bank of Japan kept its monetary policy steady.

Meanwhile, the euro firmed following the release of upbeat euro zone consumer confidence data. The common currency last traded at $1.2297.

Correspondingly, the dollar index, which tracks the dollar against six major currencies sank to its lowest levels in three years on Tuesday. The dollar index last stood at 90.097, below levels around the 90.4 handle seen at the beginning of the week.

On the energy front, Brent crude futures rose 1.4 percent to settle at $69.96 per barrel on Tuesday. U.S. crude advanced by the same level to settle at $64.47.
