Asian stocks and U.S. equity futures edged up Friday as traders evaluated the resilience of the global recovery to the prospect of reduced Federal Reserve stimulus and risks from China.
Equities gained in Japan and Hong Kong, where technology sharesrose for the first time this week. Chinese stocks were mixed amid the debt crisis at China Evergrande Group and a short-term cash injection by the central bank to help soothe nerves. Miners sapped Australian shares after a slide in iron-ore prices.
S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and European futures were in the green. U.S. stocks closed mostly lower after swinging between gains and losses ahead of Friday’s quarterly expiration of options and futures, which can trigger volatility.
Treasury yields and the dollar stayed higher following surprise strength in U.S. retail sales, which eased economic worries sparked by the delta strain and highlighted the case for less expansive Fed support. Jobless claims increased, likely reflecting volatility in weekly data as the labor market broadly recovers.
