Stocks in Asia traded mixed Thursday after a modest rebound in technology and energy shares underpinned gains in U.S. equities. The dollar slipped amid debate about the Federal Reserve pausing interest-rate hikes in coming months.
Equity benchmarks swung between gains and losses with volumes subdued after their U.S. counterparts closed higher in light pre-Thanksgiving trading. Japanese stocks got an end-of-session boost on a report about a possible government rebate after a planned consumption-tax hike in October. Australia’s stocks rose, while they were little changed in Hong Kong and China. Trading volumes were below average in Asia given the American holiday later today and one in Japan Friday. U.K. equity futures were little changed.
