Stocks in Asia pulled back from a six-month high Thursday after the latest batch of corporate earnings did little to boost their U.S. counterparts. Treasuries inched higher alongside the yen.
Shares in Japan and Hong Kong retreated, while losses were more modest in China. Equities in South Korea underperformed as issues with a new Samsung Electronics Co. phone weighed on the biggest stock in the benchmark. Earlier, the S&P 500 closed lower, led by a drop in health-care providers on concern about policy changes. The dollar edged higher and the yuan weakened. The Aussie fluctuated after a better-than-expected jobs report.
