Asian markets were mixed on Thursday following a global sell-off, with Wall Street’s tech and energy sectors pulling back. Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 fell 0.9% to 36,700.19, as wage growth data beat expectations, signaling a possible rate hike. Average cash earnings in Japan grew 3.6% year-on-year in July, while real earnings unexpectedly increased by 0.4%, strengthening the yen against the U.S. dollar, which traded at 143.81 yen.

Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 added 0.1%, while U.S. futures pointed lower. Oil prices saw a modest rise, with U.S. crude gaining 14 cents to $69.34 a barrel, and Brent crude up 12 cents to $72.82.

On Wall Street, the S&P 500 fell 0.2%, the Nasdaq lost 0.3%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average managed a 0.1% gain. U.S. Treasury yields were little changed, with the 10-year yield at 3.76%, down from 3.83% earlier. Investors are closely watching upcoming U.S. jobs data and the Institute for Supply Management’s services sector report for clues on the Federal Reserve’s next moves.
