Asian stocks wavered early Friday as the delta virus strain and the prospect of reduced central bank stimulus weigh on the economic outlook, hurting commodities and bolstering the dollar.

Equities were little changed in Japan and edged up in Australia and South Korea. The Singapore-traded SGX Nifty, an early indicator of India's Nifty 50 Index’s performance, climbed 0.2% to 16,372 as of 7:15 a.m.

U.S. contracts fluctuated after modest overnight S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 gains in a choppy session. Treasuries held a climb and the dollar was around a nine-month high. Commodities have slumped, flashing a warning about the impact of Covid-19’s resurgence on the global recovery.

Chinese stocks listed in the U.S. tumbled further -- including declines of more than 6% in Tencent Holdings Ltd. and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. -- as Beijing deepens a regulatory crackdown on private industry.

The delta strain is stoking doubts about achieving herd immunity to underpin economic reopening, just as Chinese activity slows and the Federal Reserve eyes a gradual reduction of emergency stimulus. That mix puts global stocks and commodities on course for one of their worst weeks this year. Analysts cautioned that options expirations due Friday may be fueling volatility.
