STOCKS: The benchmark Asia-Pacific indices moved lower on Friday as global
yields consolidated/moved higher & the outlook for tech names dimmed.
- The Nikkei 225 lost 0.2% as the materials space led the way lower, although
gains for financials & consumer staples limited the move lower.
- The Hang Seng shed 0.4% as IT & energy names led the decline, while China's
CSI 300 shed 0.8% as the PBoC refrained from injecting liquidity via OMOs.
- Australia's ASX 200 lost 0.21%, with telecoms once again leading the way
lower, while consumer staples was the biggest gainer on a sectoral basis.
