Global Markets:
Asian equities traded mixed on Friday, as rising expectations of near-term Federal Reserve rate cuts helped offset concerns over a potential U.S. government shutdown.
Investors appeared largely unfazed by the shutdown'reportedly the 15th since 1981'even though it has halted scientific research and financial oversight and delayed key economic data. Market participants are waiting to gauge the duration of the closure before assessing its broader economic impact, with history showing that such shutdowns rarely trigger significant market moves.
In Japan, unemployment edged up to 2.6% in August from 2.3% in the prior month, government data showed.
Meanwhile, the S&P Global Japan Services PMI rose to 53.3 in September from 53.1 in August, supported by strong domestic demand despite weakening export orders.
Overnight on Wall Street, the S&P 500 added 0.06%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 78 points, or 0.2%, and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.4%.
The U.S. shutdown also forced the Labor Department to suspend operations, delaying the release of the September nonfarm payrolls report. While this reduces the data available for the Fed's October policy meeting, it also removes a near-term source of pressure on equities.
