Asian stocks were lower Thursday along with European and U.S. equity futures as investors parsed a slew of economic data in China that showed the path of economic recovery from the pandemic remains bumpy. The dollar edged higher.
Equities in China were down about 1.5%. Shares were also lower in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Australia. S&P 500 contracts slipped after a positive Wednesday session on signs of progress in developing a vaccine for the coronavirus. Twitter Inc. fell in after-hours trading after accounts of some of America’s most prominent political and business leaders were hacked. Crude oil declined, while Treasuries were little changed. The Thai baht led emerging-market currencies lower.
