Shares in Asia are mostly lower, with only Tokyo advancing, after Wall Street wheezed to more losses with its worst week in six months.

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng lost 1.3% to 17,819.52, while the Shanghai Composite index declined 0.3% to 3,121.78.In Seoul, the Kospi lost 0.6% to 2,492.15, while Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 shed 0.3% to 7,048.00.

High rates drag down inflation by intentionally slowing the economy and denting prices for investments. They also are slow to take full effect and can cause damage in unexpected, far-ranging corners of the economy.

The two-year Treasury yield, which moves more closely with expectations for the Fed, dipped to 5.10% from 5.15%.
