NEW YORK, May 27 (Reuters) - Global equity markets

gained on Tuesday amid signs of easing trade tensions, while

longer-dated U.S. Treasury yields were set for their biggest

one-day drop in more than a month, mirroring moves in the

Japanese bond market.

U.S. President Donald Trump paused his threatened tariffs

until July 9 on U.S. imports of European goods following a

weekend call with European Commission President Ursula von der

Leyen.

Data showed on Tuesday that U.S. consumer confidence snapped

five straight months of decline and improved in May amid a truce

in the trade war between Washington and Beijing.

All three Wall Street indexes advanced, with the Nasdaq up

almost 2% following Monday's Memorial Day holiday. The S&P 500's

11 subsectors all gained, led by consumer discretionary and

technology stocks.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.27% to

42,131.69, the S&P 500 rose 1.59% to 5,895.13 and the

Nasdaq Composite rose 1.95% to 19,102.95.

European shares rose 0.48%, supported by technology

and industrials stocks. UK shares climbed 0.83%

following a holiday at the start of the week. MSCI's gauge of

stocks across the globe rose 0.98% to 878.87.

"It was good news over the weekend, at least for the market,

with the 30-day extra time frame for the EU trade tariff

negotiation deadline. I guess the market was happy about that,"

said Wasif Latif, chief investment officer at Sarmaya Partners

in New Jersey.

"Then the Bank of Japan said it was not going to issue as

many bonds and so the yield story looked a little bit better."

The yield on 30-year U.S. Treasuries fell as

much as 6.3 basis points to 4.9738%, on track for the biggest

one-day decline since mid-April.

The 30-year yields - at the epicentre of the market selloff

in April following Trump's initial raft of tariffs - are still

just below 5%, near their highest since October 2023.

The move mirrored a near-20-basis-point fall in yields for

Japanese 30-year debt that came after a Reuters

report on Tuesday that Tokyo will consider trimming issuance of

the super-long bonds, after recent sharp rises in yields.

Investors will focus on results from Nvidia ( NVDA ) on

Wednesday, with the chipmaker expected to report a 66% jump in

first-quarter revenue.

Speeches from a slew of Federal Reserve policymakers and

Friday's U.S. core PCE price index are also due, which could

provide clues on the outlook for U.S. rates.

The U.S. dollar advanced against major peers including the

yen, euro and Swiss franc following the decision of the Japanese

authorities to curb bond issuance and improvement in U.S.

consumer confidence.

The dollar strengthened 1.07% to 144.37 against

the Japanese yen. Against the Swiss franc, the dollar

strengthened 0.66% to 0.826. The euro was down 0.37% at

$1.1345.

The dollar index, which measures the greenback

against a basket of currencies including the yen and the euro,

rose 0.51% to 99.46.

Gold prices fell as the U.S. dollar advanced. Spot gold

dropped 1.3% to $3,299.39 an ounce. U.S. gold futures

lost 1.95% to $3,298.00 an ounce.

Oil prices eased, spurred by worries of a supply glut after

Iranian and U.S. delegations made progress on their talks and on

expectations that OPEC+ will decide to increase output at a

meeting later this week.

Brent crude futures were down 1.56% at $63.76 a

barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude fell around

1.7% to $60.50 a barrel.
