SINGAPORE - Bond yields drifted higher on Tuesday, while currencies and Asia's stock markets steadied as investors waited on a raft of data to determine how deeply the U.S. can cut interest rates.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan ticked 0.1% lower. Japan's Nikkei rose 0.7% and S&P 500 futures were flat. The dollar has steadied along with U.S. yields as focus turns to Friday. Economists forecast the ISM survey improving but remaining in contractionary territory at 47.5 in August.
The dollar was firm at 146.85 yen and traded at $1.1063 per euro in the Asia session. Rallies in the Australian and New Zealand dollars paused for breath, with the Aussie held just below $0.68.
