By David Henry

Feb 9 (Reuters) - Global stocks were poised to rise again on Tuesday in Asian trading after another record-setting day on Wall Street.

MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS was last up 0.04% at 720.5.

The early action came after another day of so-called reflation trades around the world in which global markets bid up stocks, cryptocurrencies, oil and gold while U.S. Treasury yields held near 11-month highs and the dollar steadied.

Expectations have been building that inflation will pick up as governments and central banks continue massive spending and easy money policies until officials are certain that their economies will recover from the coronavirus pandemic.

"Reflation on the back of U.S. fiscal stimulus and positive vaccine news remains the major theme for markets," strategists at National Australia Bank wrote.
