Asian stocks followed US equities lower, with Treasury yields at the highest level since the global financial crisis.

A gauge of the region’s equities fell, with indexes declining in Japan, South Korea and Australia. Stocks in Hong Kong and mainland China fluctuated. US futures dropped in Asia amid wariness around economic challenges that saw the S&P 500 swing from a gain of more than 1% to a loss of almost the same.

Hawkish remarks from Federal Reserve officials and swaps pricing in a 5% peak policy rate in 2023 should continue to support the greenback against its major peers and emerging-market currencies. The yen remained weaker than the closely-watched 150 per dollar level, boosting speculation that more intervention will be needed to support the Japanese currency.

The dollar was steady and the pound wavered after Liz Truss resigned as UK prime minister. Ten-year Australian bond yields jumped 10 basis points, tracking a move in similar-maturity Treasuries on Thursday.
