An unexpected tumble in Japanese industrial production, following yesterday’s contraction in South Korea’s GDP, underscored that economies outside the U.S. and China aren’t doing as well. China’s yuan edged up after President Xi Jinping said his country won’t engage in currency depreciation that harms other nations. In the U.S., the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 reached a record following strong results from Microsoft Corp. and Facebook Inc. The broader S&P 500 Index ended little changed after 3M cut its earnings forecast and UPS reported a profit drop.

Asian shares got off to a subdued start on Friday, while the dollar held near two-year highs against the euro on speculation that data later in the day will show the U.S. economy outperforming the rest of the developed world. The yen proved an outlier by gaining as speculators cut short positions ahead of holidays which will see most Japanese markets shut for six whole trading days.

Reuters•4 hours agoGlobal tightening cycle over, slower ride for growth ahead: Reuters Poll
Major central banks are done tightening policy, according to a majority of economists polled by Reuters, with the growth outlook wilting across developed and emerging economies along with scant prospects for a surge in inflation. While that is largely reflected in bond markets, with major sovereign bond yields falling this year, global equities have rallied, and the S&P 500 index is near record highs after its best start this year in more than three decades. One striking conclusion from the latest surveys of over 500 economists from around the world, covering more than 40 economies, was not just a toning down of the economic outlook, but a clear shift away from long-held optimistic views.
