Asian stocks were steady Thursday after U.S. technology shares climbed in a defensive tilt to the Wall Street rally, and as traders await employment data to assess when the Federal Reserve may pare stimulus.

Equities wavered in Japan and dipped in South Korea and Australia. U.S. equity futures fluctuated, following a record close in the Nasdaq 100 and little change in the S&P 500. Economic data suggested a slower U.S. labor market recovery.

The Singapore-traded SGX Nifty, an early indicator of India's Nifty 50 Index’s performance, was little changed at 17,111 as of 7:05 a.m.

Benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury yields held around 1.30%. The U.S. payrolls report Friday will offer clues on the economic outlook and a possible timeline for a reduction in the Fed’s $120 billion of monthly bond purchases. A gauge of the dollar held a decline.

Investors are trying to assess when the delta variant virus outbreak might peak as well as the implications of reduced central bank policy support in the months ahead. Global stocks are near record levels and gauges of implied financial market volatility are declining, suggesting many remain optimistic that the reopening from the health crisis will weather challenges.

Oil slipped in the wake of a relatively harmonious OPEC+ decision to gradually raise supply and a bullish U.S. oil inventory report.
