Bloomberg (03/12) -- Japanese index futures climbed as the yen traded near a six-month low versus the dollar. Futures on stock gauges from Sydney to South Korea fell after U.S. equities declined with Treasuries and gold slumped.
 Nikkei 225 Stock Average
futures rose to 15,830 by 3 a.m. in Osaka and traded at 15,750 in
Chicago after the index closed at 15,655.07 yesterday. The yen was
little changed at 102.92 per dollar after breaching 103 yesterday for
the first time since May. Futures on Sydney’s S&P/ASX 200 Index
dropped 0.6 percent. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index lost 0.3
percent in New York while 10-year Treasury yields rose five basis
points. Gold slid 2.7 percent yesterday and touched an almost five-month
low.
Japan updates its monetary base today, while Australia is projected to keep key interest rates
at a record low. In China, where factory gauges for November exceeded
analysts’ estimates, a non-manufacturing index is due as Goldman Sachs
Group Inc. predicts next year will deliver the biggest rally since 2009
for Hong Kong-traded stocks. U.S. manufacturing grew at the fastest pace
in more than two years last month, as investors review data for clues
on the outlook for Federal Reserve stimulus.
