* China push to remove recent U.S. tariffs seen as positive
* Wall Street at all-time high puts damper on stock rally
* Bond yields rising globally as recession fears recede
By Herbert Lash
NEW YORK, Nov 5 (Reuters) - The U.S. dollar and crude prices
rose on Tuesday, spurred by ongoing optimism a U.S.-China trade
deal may be near, but a rally in global equity markets stalled
as China pressed U.S. President Donald Trump to remove recently
imposed tariffs.
MSCI's gauge of global stock markets set a fresh 21-month
high before trading flat, and the Nasdaq and Dow Jones
industrial average hit new intraday record peaks before U.S.
stocks pared gains to trade little changed.
U.S. and European government bond yields climbed, lifted by
trade optimism and more upbeat economic data, but China's push
to remove more U.S. tariffs imposed in September as part of a
"phase one" trade deal raised doubts and spurred profit taking.
"A phase one" trade deal is far from certain," said Fawad
Razaqzada, technical analyst at FOREX.com in an investor note.
"So far it has just been promises of a deal underpinning
both stocks and the yuan," he said. "It is possible that the
rally in both markets will at the very least pause."
ISM's services data showed a reading of 54.7 in October
from 52.6 the prior month, or above expectations of 53.4,
according to economists polled by Reuters. The data was the
latest to allay concerns of a slowdown in the U.S. economy.
MSCI's gauge of stock indexes in 47 countries
.MIWD00000PUS shed 0.01% while the pan-European STOXX 600
index of small, mid-sized and large stocks .STOXX rose 0.10%.
On Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI rose
36.03 points, or 0.13%, to 27,498.14. The S&P 500 .SPX lost
1.62 points, or 0.05%, to 3,076.65 and the Nasdaq Composite
.IXIC added 5.38 points, or 0.06%, to 8,438.58.
In Asia, optimism was helped by the People's Bank of China's
cut in its a medium-term lending rate, the first since early
2016. It was only a token 5 basis points to 3.25%, but it
underscored Beijing's ongoing desire to support the economy.
Oil prices rose more than 1% on hopes of a trade deal while
gold fell more than 1%, en route to its biggest one-day dip in
more than a month. O/R
Also driving crude higher were remarks by OPEC
Secretary-General Mohammad Barkindo, who said the oil market
outlook for 2020 may be brighter than previously forecast,
appearing to downplay any need for deeper production cuts.
Brent crude LCOc1 futures for January delivery rose 88
cents to $63.01 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate
(WTI) crude CLc1 futures rose 76 cents to $57.30 a barrel.

The dollar index .DXY , tracking the greenback against six
major peers, rose 0.47%, with the euro EUR= down 0.54% to
$1.1066. The Japanese yen JPY= weakened 0.50% versus the

within striking distance of positive territory.
