Futures on the S&amp;P 500 slipped after the gauge eked out a small increase on Wednesday. Oil slumped while gold advanced. The Aussie extended gains after trade data topped estimates. China markets remain closed for the final day of Lunar New Year holidays that started last Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The Fed reiterated its intention to lift rates gradually as the labor market tightens, acknowledging rising confidence among U.S. consumers and businesses. Investors will now be looking toward Friday\u2019s jobs report after the <a title=\"The World\u2019s Base Currency Gets Injection of Political Risk (1)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/politics\/articles\/2017-02-01\/the-world-s-base-currency-gets-an-injection-of-political-risk\" target=\"_blank\">uncertainty<\/a> created during Donald Trump\u2019s first two weeks in office brought equity indexes down from record highs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Trump administration\u2019s protectionist rhetoric and divisive political approach have raised concerns the anticipated fiscal stimulus measures could be derailed,\u201d said Elias Haddad, Sydney-based senior currency strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia. \u201cThe dollar will continue to trade on the defensive in the near term.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earnings are coming thick and fast with results from Siemens AG to Volvo AG and Facebook Inc. boosting optimism for corporate forecasts. Later Thursday in Japan, heavyweights\u00a0including Mazda Motor Corp. and Sony Corp. are due to release profit reports. Royal Dutch Shell Plc results are scheduled during European hours, while investors in the U.S. will be scrutinizing Amazon.com Inc.\u2019s earnings.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the main market moves:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Futures on the S&amp;P 500 lost 0.2 percent as of 9:54 a.m. in Tokyo, after the underlying gauge rose less than one point to close at 2,279.42 on Wednesday. That halted a four-day slide that was the longest since the November election.<\/li>\n<li>The MSCI Asia Pacific Index climbed 0.4 percent. Japan\u2019s Topix index fell 0.4 percent and Australia\u2019s S&amp;P\/ASX 200 Index gained 0.2 percent. South Korea\u2019s Kospi added 0.4 percent.<\/li>\n<li>The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index lost 0.2 percent, poised for the lowest closing level since November. The gauge had gained as much as 0.4 percent after data Wednesday from the ADP Research Institute showed private payrolls climbed by 246,000, compared with the 168,000 median projection of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.<\/li>\n<li>The yen climbed 0.3 percent to 112.92 per dollar, after dropping Wednesday for the first time in three days.<\/li>\n<li>The Aussie rose 0.6 percent to 76.29 U.S. cents as the government\u2019s trade surplus for December beat forecasts.<\/li>\n<li>The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note was flat after adding two basis points to 2.47 percent on Wednesday. Australian bond yields climbed four basis points to 2.77 percent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Source: Bloomberg<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stocks in Asia were mixed as investors digested a raft of earnings reports, while the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":473,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[373],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-market-news"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Asian Stocks Mixed While Yen Strengthens After Fed: Markets Wrap - 1 Feb 2017 -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/arabicfxadvisors.com\/english\/asian-stocks-mixed-yen-strengthens-fed-markets-wrap-1-feb-2017\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Asian Stocks Mixed While Yen Strengthens After Fed: Markets Wrap - 1 Feb 2017 -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Stocks in Asia were mixed as investors digested a raft of earnings reports, while the...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/arabicfxadvisors.com\/english\/asian-stocks-mixed-yen-strengthens-fed-markets-wrap-1-feb-2017\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-02-02T02:48:36+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/arabicfxadvisors.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/4.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"340\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"210\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Fx Advisor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Fx Advisor\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/arabicfxadvisors.com\/english\/asian-stocks-mixed-yen-strengthens-fed-markets-wrap-1-feb-2017\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/arabicfxadvisors.com\/english\/asian-stocks-mixed-yen-strengthens-fed-markets-wrap-1-feb-2017\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Fx Advisor\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/arabicfxadvisors.com\/english\/#\/schema\/person\/86a15b1444dc3cf22d3943734b86607d\"},\"headline\":\"Asian Stocks Mixed While Yen Strengthens After Fed: Markets Wrap &#8211;
