Japan markets roiled by Abe resignation news, stocks choppy after Fed shift

TOKYO/WASHINGTON - Japanese financial markets were roiled in afternoon trade on Friday after news that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will resign for health reasons later on in the day.

The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose to 0.7870%, the highest since June 10, which caused the yield curve to steepen, reflecting the Fed's tolerance for higher inflation. Markets swirled after Fed Chairman Jerome Powell laid out a policy that aims for 2% inflation on average so that too low a pace would be followed by an effort to lift inflation"moderately above 2% for some time."

"But Powell really didn't reveal much beyond that. Some people who were expecting a clearer steer on policy or some kind of cap on bond yields are left disappointed."
