Asia slips as weak oil feeds growth worries, euro bullish

TOKYO/SINGAPORE (Reuters) – Asian stocks slipped on Thursday as weak oil prices continued to feed global growth worries, while the euro held solid gains after a policymaker poured cold water on market expectations of more easing by the European Central Bank. MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan lost 0.3 percent. Japan’s Nikkei (.N225) fell 1.3 percent to hit a five-week low and Australian shares (.AXJO) dropped 1.5 percent.
