TOKYO - Asian stocks rebounded on Friday following heavy selling in the previous session when investors dumped tech shares as questions about cloud company CoreWeave's debt ​pile fueled worries about the financing driving the AI boom.

Bond markets stabilized after yields plunged on Thursday as traders bought up Treasuries ‌and other safe-haven sovereign debt. The dollar limped towards its first weekly loss in five weeks as lower US yields eroded the currency's appeal.

Gold eased back from Thursday's high, while Brent crude drifted lower toward $105.

Japan's tech-heavy Nikkei rose 1.8 percent, making back some of Thursday's almost 5 percent tumble. South Korea's KOSPI climbed 2.8 percent, following a nearly 8 percent plunge.

Indonesia's equity benchmark slumped 11 percent after MSCI said the country's stock market is no ​longer worthy of "emerging market" status, and is preparing to cut it from a suite of products tracked by global investors, a major setback likely to send money fleeing.

The rupiah weakened about 0.8 percent to 95.0550 per dollar. US stock futures were lower, with tech-focused Nasdaq futures off 0.3 percent and ​S&P 500 futures down 0.1 percent, after the respective cash indexes notched small gains on Thursday.

Shares of Nvidia-backed CoreWeave recovered some composure on Thursday after starting the session ​by extending Wednesday's 15.5 percent slump amid reports that its bond yields had reached highs associated with distressed debt, triggering a broad, AI-centered equity selloff globally.

"Global markets are getting very noisy once again after a ​period of low volatility: Wall Street is whipsawing, bond yields are swinging, currency markets are doing backflips, and commodity prices are running in multiple directions," Kyle ​Rodda, a markets analyst at Capital.com, wrote in a client note.

"Global markets could potentially be in for a protracted period of this sort of volatility," with tech company earnings announcements due ‌in the coming weeks, and markets also attempting to discern the trajectory of US and other major economies' interest rates, he said.

Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh, along with a host of other global central bank officials, will speak at events at the IMF-World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok during the day.

However, "given his notorious reticence and outright disdain for anything that resembles 'forward guidance', market participants will be forced to work hard to infer any insight from Warsh," Rodda said.

Most Japanese government bond yields rose, retracing ​about half of Thursday's decline, as they ​took cues from a smaller bounce in Treasury yields on Thursday following the prior session's plunge.

Lower US yields this week sapped demand for the dollar, with the dollar index languishing near 102 following a sharp pullback from Wednesday's 1-1/2-year high near 103. The index is down 0.2 percent ​for the week.

That handed the euro some welcome respite, after it pulled itself up from as low as $1.1113 on Wednesday ​to sit at $1.1217 on Friday.

Sterling was steady at $1.3278 following a 0.6 percent jump on Thursday.

The dollar was little changed at around 158 yen.

Gold slipped 0.4 percent to $4,154.51, after climbing 1.6 percent on Thursday amid demand for safe havens.

Crude oil edged lower as investors weighed Middle East risks and possible US steps to ease restrictions on the world’s "shadow fleet" of tankers.

Meanwhile, the escalating conflict between Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Houthis and renewed attacks on ships in the region ​have supported prices.

Brent crude futures eased 0.4 percent to $105.51 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate crude futures were down 0.6 percent to $97.43.
