Stocks Steady; Bond Yields Up Amid Commodity Jump: Markets Wrap Bloomberg 41 mins ago Andreea Papuc and Emily Barrett (Bloomberg) -- Asian stocks were steady Wednesday following a renewed rise in Treasury yields and a jump in commodity prices, with investors also cautious ahead of the Federal Reserve’s policy decision. Shares posted modest gains in Japan but slipped in South Korea and fluctuated in China. U.S. contracts edged up after the Nasdaq 100 dropped for the first time in three sessions amid declines in heavyweights such as Tesla Inc. Alphabet Inc. shares rallied in postmarket trade on stronger-than-expected quarterly sales. The S&P 500 closed little changed after swinging between gains and losses.
