Asian stocks headed for a fifth week of declines following more weakness in US equities and a surge in short-end Treasury yields that reflects expectations for outsized Federal Reserve interest rate hikes.

Shares fell in Japan, Australia and Hong Kong after the S&P 500 Index closed at its lowest level in about two months. Mainland China equities also slumped ahead a slew of economic data including industrial production and retail sales.

The latest US economic data painted a mixed picture for the economy that backed the view for hawkish monetary policy. Oil headed for a third weekly loss as a deteriorating global economic backdrop stoked demand concerns and a buoyant dollar made crude more expensive for most buyers. Meanwhile, gold steadied after plunging to its lowest level in two years.

Back home, India's stock benchmarks declined for the second day in a row, dragged by losses in information technology, pharma, realty stocks.

The local currency extended losses against the U.S. dollar for the second consecutive session.

At 7:40 am, the Singapore-traded SGX Nifty--an early barometer of India's benchmark Nifty 50--traded 0.5% lower at 17,787 points.
