Asia mkts mostly lower as central bank uncertainty spurs jitters

Asian stocks wavered on Thursday as investors grappled with the seemingly diminishing ability of major central banks to stimulate growth, while a tumble in crude oil inflamed already heightened risk aversion. 

Global bond yields have risen in sympathy with depressed sentiment, adding to nervousness over when the Federal Reserve might decide to raise rates. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan edged down 0.1 %.

 Japan's Nikkei lost 0.6 percent and Australian stocks shed 0.1 percent. South Korea's Kospi was little changed. The soggy Asian start followed an uninspiring performance overnight on Wall Street where the Dow lost 0.2 percent and the S&P 500 shed 0.1 percent, with uncertainty over future interest rate hikes and lower energy shares weighing.
