Equities were mixed in Asia Thursday, while U.S. and European futures gained as investors continued to assess the global growth outlook amid heightened trade tensions. Treasury yields steadied near their lowest since 2017.
Japan’s stocks pared losses by the close in Tokyo, while shares fell in Hong Kong, China and Australia. In South Korea, they clawed back much of Wednesday’s slide. S&P 500 Index futures rose after the benchmark closed at the lowest since March. The 10-year Treasury yield was at 2.27% after falling as low as 2.21% Wednesday. The yield gap between three-month and 10-year Treasuries, often watched as an early signal of pending recession, slid to a 2007 low Wednesday. The dollar traded near a five-month high.
