GLOBAL MARKETS ROUNDUP
    * Asian shares slipped to a 2-1/2 month low on Thursday on
heightened expectations the Federal Reserve may act sooner than
later to unwind its stimulus after a provisional budget deal in
Washington eased some of the fiscal drag on the U.S. economy.
 
    * The yen held firm in Asia on Thursday, having risen
broadly on the back of a slump on Wall Street as expectations
grew the Federal Reserve could scale back stimulus as early as
next week. 
    * Brent oil rose on supply concerns as traders remained
skeptical that Libyan oil exports would resume while U.S. crude
fell after government data showed large builds in refined oil
products, suggesting sluggish oil demand. 
    * U.S. Treasury debt prices fell on Wednesday as the market
built in a price concession for the Treasury's $13 billion
30-year bond auction on Thursday, the final leg of the
three-part $64 billion sale of government debt this week.
