HONG KONG (AP) — Asia stocks were mostly lower on Friday after gains for Big Tech shares helped U.S. stock indexes claw back much of their slide from the day before.
U.S. futures and oil prices were higher.
In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 index was up 0.2% at 39,523.55, with the dollar standing at 153.31 Japanese yen, nearly matching the 34-year high of 153.32 yen that it reached on Wednesday.
Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index declined 1.9% to 16,766.61, and the Shanghai Composite index edged 0.1% lower to 3,030.13. China’s trade data for March will be released later in the day.
