SINGAPORE — Shares in Asia-Pacific slipped in Friday trade, with Japanese stocks leading losses regionally.

The Nikkei 225 in Japan dropped 2.37% as shares of conglomerate SoftBank Group declined more than 4% while the Topix index fell 1.86%.

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index also saw sizable losses as it fell 1.73%. In mainland China, the Shanghai composite declined 0.43% while the Shenzhen component hovered above the flatline.

South Korea’s Kospi dipped 0.7%.

The S&P/ASX 200 in Australia fell 1.37%. Australia’s retail sales in October jumped 4.9% month-on-month, seasonally adjusted, according to official estimates released Friday. That was far higher than the 2.5% increase predicted in a Reuters poll.

MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan traded 1.1% lower.

Travel stocks slammed

In Australia, Qantas Airways shares dropped 4.73% while Hong Kong-listed shares of Cathay Pacific slipped 2.7%. Shares of Japan Airlines in Japan plunged 4.29% while Singapore Airlines’ stock in Singapore declined 1.71%.

Those losses came after World Health Organization officials said Thursday they are monitoring a new variant with “a large number of mutations.” A special meeting is scheduled for Friday to discuss its implications for vaccines and treatments.

Markets in the U.S. were closed on Thursday for the Thanksgiving holiday.
