Asian stocks were steady early Friday as traders weighed risks from China to the global recovery and the prospect of reduced Federal Reserve stimulus.

Equities fluctuated in Japan and fell in Australia and South Korea, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures slipped. U.S. stocks closed mostly lower after swinging between gains and losses ahead of Friday’s quarterly expiration of options and futures, which can trigger volatility.

Treasury yields and the dollar stayed higher following surprise strength in U.S. retail sales, which eased worries over the impact of the delta variant and highlighted the case for the Fed to scale back pandemic-era emergency support. Jobless claims increased, likely reflecting volatility in weekly data as the labor market broadly recovers.

The Singapore-traded SGX Nifty, an early indicator of India's Nifty 50 Index’s performance rose 0.35% to 17,664.50, as of 6:50 a.m.

Global equities are on course for a second weekly drop, subdued by the impact of the delta strain on economic reopening, the implications of elevated inflation and the upheavals in China. The Fed’s policy meeting next week is another possible source of volatility as traders await more clues about the time-line for paring bond purchases and eventually hiking interest rates.

Oil was steady, while iron ore’s losing streak threatens to push futures back below $100 a tonne on declining Chinese steel output. Gold and silver held drops.
