Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.

Asian stocks rose, adding to a fourth week of gains, as moderating US inflation reinforced bets that the Federal Reserve will refrain from raising interest rates next month. Technology stocks extended their rebound. In Asia, the yen remained within striking distance of 160 per dollar, even after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s government was said to support an interest-rate increase. The Japanese currency was little changed Friday, near 159.43 per dollar. We get reaction from David Finnerty, Bloomberg News FX & Rates Strategist.

Plus - even as Treasuries rallied Thursday, the US sold 30-year bonds at the highest yield in a quarter century, underscoring the premium investors are demanding to finance the nation’s deficits. Meantime, back-to-back benign inflation prints, following last week’s softer-than-expected jobs report and a pullback in oil prices, are easing pressure on the Fed to tighten policy at its meeting next month. For more on the broader market backdrop, we hear from Tim Waterer, Chief Market Analyst at KCM Trade Global.
