Asian stocks were mixed on Friday, ending the worst week for the region’s shares since March, amid ongoing trade tensions. The yuan extended losses to reach fresh lows, while Japanese yields edged lower after a tumultuous week for the bond market.
Shares in Japan and Hong Kong dropped, while equities in South Korea and India gained. The Shanghai Composite steadied but remains on course for a near 4 percent slide this week. The dollar maintained gains and the yield on 10-year Treasuries ticked back below 3 percent. China’s currency headed for an eighth weekly decline, the longest run since the start of the country’s modern foreign-exchange rate regime in 1994.
