Asian stocks made a cautious start Friday after U.S. shares edged toward an all-time high and Treasuries climbed as traders digested some mixed economic data and the latest spate of earnings.

Equities fluctuated in South Korea and dipped in Australia. Japan is shut for a holiday. U.S. futures rose after the S&P 500’s biggest three-day advance since April took it nearer a new peak, while the Nasdaq 100 closed at a record.

The Singapore-traded SGX Nifty, an early indicator of India's Nifty 50 Index’s performance, rose 0.17% at 15,840.50 as of 7:10 a.m.

Global stocks are on course for a modest weekly gain, bolstered by generally robust corporate earnings and stimulus support. At the same time, July’s decline in 10-year U.S. Treasury yields may for some signal concern that economic growth could be peaking, in part as the delta coronavirus strain forces mobility curbs in some countries.

Elsewhere, oil held around the highest in a week amid expectations of tightening supplies as demand recovers. Bitcoin traded just above $32,000.
