A broad index of world stock markets edged lower on Tuesday as it struggled to maintain momentum amid lingering concerns over a trade dispute between Washington and Beijing.

MSCI`s index of global equities inched 0.17 percent lower on the day as investors awaited action from U.S. President Donald Trump after the expiry of a deadline for public comment on additional tariffs on Chinese goods.

The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index lost 0.13 percent.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 18.22 points, or 0.07 percent, to 25,875.29, the S&P 500 gained 0.28 points, or 0.01 percent, to 2,877.41 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 2.09 points, or 0.03 percent, to 7,922.07.

"The fact that Trump still hasn`t announced the tariffs yet as expected has prompted a bit of cautious optimism, but it`s not a problem that`s going to go away," said CMC Markets analyst Michael Hewson.

Emerging markets remained under pressure, with the broad MSCI index of those countries currencies down near 16-month lows and the Indian rupee near a record trough against the U.S. dollar.

An index of emerging market shares lost 0.93 percent. Copper, heavily consumed by emerging markets, lost 1.19 percent to $5,839.50 a tonne.

Having warned last week that he was ready to slap additional taxes on practically all Chinese imports, Trump was uncharacteristically quiet on trade on Monday.

China will respond if the United States takes any new steps on trade, the foreign ministry said on Monday, after Trump warned he was ready to slap tariffs on virtually all Chinese imports into the United States.

Separately, it emerged China would ask the World Trade Organization next week for permission to impose sanctions on the United States for Washington`s non-compliance with a ruling in a dispute over U.S. dumping duties that China initiated in 2013, a meeting agenda showed on Tuesday.

"Weakness is set to remain a recurring theme amid global trade tensions, a broadly stronger dollar and prospects of higher U.S. interest rates," said Lukman Otunuga, a research analyst at broker FXTM.

"With turmoil in Turkey and Argentina triggering contagion fears, appetite for emerging market assets and currencies is likely to continue diminishing."

Oil prices ignored the threat to demand posed by a trade war that could slow economic growth, instead taking its cue from looming U.S. sanctions against Iran`s petroleum industry that could hurt supply.

U.S. crude rose 1.67 percent to $68.67 per barrel and Brent was last at $78.59, up 1.58 percent.

Spot gold dropped 0.3 percent to $1,191.95 an ounce as the dollar resumed its ascent amid the risk-off sentiment and looming U.S. interest rate increases. The dollar index rose 0.11 percent.

Bond markets, meanwhile, prepared to digest $144 billion in new supply from government auctions needed to finance U.S. deficit spending. Benchmark 10-year notes last fell 9/32 in price to yield 2.9681 percent, from 2.937 percent late on Monday.
