Stock market today: Asian stocks decline after Wall Street logs its worst week in the last 10
Major Asian equity markets were trading lower after Wall Street logged its worst week in the past 10 on Friday. U.S. futures were lower even after Congressional leaders reached an agreement on overall spending levels for the current fiscal year that could help avoid a partial government shutdown later this month. Oil prices also declined. On Friday, the S&P 500 rose 0.2%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq composite both rose 0.1%. Treasury yields initially jumped after a report showed the job market strengthened more than expected. That raised worries the Federal Reserve could keep interest rates high.
