Stocks in Asia were mostly lower Wednesday alongside U.S. equity futures as investors took a breather after four weeks of gains. Ten-year Treasury yields dipped to the lowest since November 2016 following a disappointing run of economic data.
Shares indexes in Japan, China and South Korea led losses, while equities in Australia edged higher. The yen hit its high for the session after the Bank of Japan made small tweaks to its bond buying program. The rally extended in Treasuries and gold. News on European Central Bank and Federal Reserve leadership appointments underlined the prospect for easier monetary policy, which could offer support for a range of assets.
