Asian stocks were mostly higher Friday and U.S. equity futures fluctuated after the S&P 500 Index swept to a record on optimism over the $1.9 trillion U.S. stimulus package. The dollar and Treasury yields climbed.
MSCI Inc.’s regional gauge rose a fourth day as Japan rallied amid a jump in Rakuten Inc. on news of an investment by Japan Post Holdings Co. U.S. equity futures were steady following broad S&P 500 gains and a Nasdaq 100 rebound. South Korean e-commerce giant Coupang Inc. popped 41% in its debut.
Chinese shares posted modest gains amid a renewed focus on U.S.-China relations. The Biden administration informed some suppliers to Huawei Technologies Co. of tighter conditions on previously approved export licenses, prohibiting items for use in or with 5G devices.
Relatively smooth bond sales this week eased concerns about the market outlook. Yields on the 10-year Treasury benchmark rose to about 1.57% on Friday. Verizon Communications Inc. saw surging demand for its $25 billion debt sale.
