SINGAPORE — Shares in Asia-Pacific fell in Friday morning trade, tracking losses seen overnight on Wall Street after the release of a hotter-than-expected U.S. consumer inflation report pushed the 10-year Treasury yield past 2%.

Mainland Chinese stocks slipped in early trade as the Shanghai composite declined 0.52% while the Shenzhen component shed 0.902%. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index traded 0.62% lower.

South Korea’s Kospi fell 0.78%, while the S&P/ASX 200 in Australia declined 0.77%.

MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan traded 0.9% lower.

Markets in Japan are closed on Friday for a holiday.

Investors monitored moves in U.S. bond yields on Friday, after the U.S. consumer price index for January showed a hotter-than-expected 7.5% year-over-year rise — its largest gain since 1982. The reading was also higher than Dow Jones estimates of 7.2% for the closely watched inflation gauge.

The benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury yield, which crossed 2% Thursday stateside after starting the year at 1.51%, last sat at 2.0329%. Yields move inversely to prices.
