Asian stocks, U.S. and European equity futures climbed Friday as technology shares continued to drive gains, tempering concern over a bumpy economic recovery. The dollar edged lower.
Stocks saw a modest advance in Hong Kong, China and Japan, following a fresh Nasdaq 100 record overnight. Volumes were below average. South Korean stocks pared some of Thursday’s slump as data showed a slide in exports eased. S&P 500 futures edged higher, while the 10-year Treasury yield was steady. The offshore yuan rose to its highest level in seven months.
The S&P 500 posted a moderate climb Thursday, when a technology rally offset a slide for energy producers and banks amid light volume. The benchmark had shrugged off earlier weakness from disappointing jobs data.
