HONG KONG – Asian markets drifted on Friday as traders positioned themselves ahead of a highly anticipated US jobs report later in the day and following a mixed bag of economic data on the world's top economy.
However, analysts say it could go twice as big if the non-farm payrolls report for August comes in well below forecasts as a series of recent figures suggest the economy is slowing more sharply than initially thought. Investors were given a slight jolt by data Thursday showing a miss on private-sector hiring, which was slightly offset by a dip in first-time and continuing claims for jobless benefits.
"There has been nothing in the latest batch of US economic data... to materially impact on expectations for all-important employment data or to move the dial on expectations for what the Fed is likely to do on September 18," said National Australia Bank's Ray Attrill.Shanghai, Sydney, Singapore, Taipei, and Jakarta rose, while Tokyo, Seoul, Manila, and Wellington fell.
