Stocks in Asia dropped, with a regional benchmark heading for the lowest close in a year, as investors contemplate the risk of weaker growth thanks to woes in emerging markets. The yen gained.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index is down for a sixth straight session as declines in Australia and Hong Kong offset modest gains in markets including Indonesia and Malaysia. Japan’s equities underperformed in the wake of a powerful earthquake on its northernmost main island, which knocked out electricity and added to transport strains from a major typhoon earlier this week. European futures ticked lower. Ten-year Treasury yields held at 2.90 percent and the dollar was firmer against most major peers.
