Asian markets traded mostly higher this morning, the dollar edged lower and two-year Treasury yields remained below 5 percent while oil edged up after settling slightly lower on Wednesday.

The Dow slipped 0.2 percent, while the S&P 500 inched up 0.1 percent and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite added 0.3 percent.
