World stocks were steady on the last trading day of the year as markets digested U.S. data and the dismantling of China's zero-COVID policy, but the global index was heading for a 20% drop over a year marred by high inflation and war in Europe.

Chinese leaders have pledged to step up policy adjustments to cushion the impact on businesses and consumers from a surge in COVID-19 infections.

The dollar has gained more than 8% over the year, but it lost more than 7% this quarter on expectations the Fed may not raise rates as high as previously feared. The Japanese yen strengthened to a 10-day high of 131.72 per dollar, but the Bank of Japan's ultra-dovish policy has pushed it 13% lower this year, its worst performance since 2013.Investors have been worried that central banks' efforts to tame inflation could lead to an economic slowdown.
