Asian stocks and U.S. equity futures were mixed Friday as investors mulled continued talks over American stimulus and the economic impact of fresh restrictions in some parts of the world to fight the resurgent coronavirus.
Shares slipped in Tokyo, Shanghai and Seoul, and climbed in Hong Kong. S&P 500 futures fluctuated after the benchmark came off its session lows as banks rebounded from a two-day selloff and energy shares rallied. Treasuries and the dollar were steady, while crude oil retreated. The yen strengthened.
