India, Sept. 10 -- Asian stocks ended mostly lower on Thursday as rising oil prices and bond yields fueled concerns about inflation and the Federal Reserve's rate path.
The U.S. dollar index was subdued in Asian trading, while gold held firm above $4,400 an ounce ahead of key U.S. PPI and CPI data due this week, which could influence the Federal Reserve's rate decision on September 16.
Brent crude futures were little changed above $101 a barrel, hovering at their highest level since May as escalating fighting between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis in Yemen fueled concerns about further disruptions to energy supplies.
