Stocks traded mixed in Asia on renewed concern about a global economic slowdown and an escalation in trade tensions. Ten-year Treasury yields edged back below 2.50 percent.
Shares in Japan bore the brunt of losses, while those in Hong Kong posted modest declines. Chinese and Korean equities advanced. European futures were little changed while U.S. contracts ticked higher. Earlier, the S&P 500 Index fell for the first time in nine sessions as the Trump administration threatened tariffs on the European Union and the International Monetary Fund cut its global growth outlook to the lowest since the financial crisis. The pound gained as the European Union looked set to force the U.K to delay Brexit for as long as a year.
