Most Asian stocks fell, with a gauge tracking the region’s equities poised to end its longest winning run since 1988, as restrictions to curb the pandemic overshadowed progress toward a vaccine. Treasuries gained.
Stocks edged up in Japan, Australia and China, but were lower elsewhere. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index had risen for 13 consecutive sessions to Wednesday. S&P 500 futures fluctuated with the benchmark closing at its session low after New York City shut schools because of rising infections. Tokyo raised its coronavirus alert to the highest of four levels Thursday. Pfizer Inc. advanced earlier after saying its vaccine was 95% effective, paving the way to apply for the first U.S. regulatory authorization for a coronavirus shot within days. European futures fell.
The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index was near its lowest since April 2018, while oil and gold dipped.
