Yields on 10-year Treasuries hit a fresh 15-month low on Thursday in Asia, and Australian ones recorded the lowest on record, while Japan’s are near levels unseen since 2016.

U.S. futures fell after the S&P 500 Index dropped on Wednesday. The yen headed higher as haven demand emerged.
Britain’s pound traded at the weaker end of its recent range after the U.K. Parliament rejected eight possible options for a new Brexit strategy, leaving the Brexit outlook all the muddier. Elsewhere, rates on benchmark German Bunds sank further below zero after European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said an accommodative stance is still needed.
