As asian bags closed without a single direction and with modest variations this Tuesday (11), losing steam after the recovery led by technology shares in the previous session and clashing with Wall Street.
The Japanese index Nikkei fell 0.14% in Tokyo, to 50,842.93 points, while the South Korean Kospi rose 0.81% in Seoul, to 4,106.39 points, the Hang Seng advanced 0.18% in Hong Kong, to 26,696.41 points, and the Taiex fell 0.30% in Taiwan, to 27,784.95 points.
In mainland China, the day saw moderate losses, of 0.39% of the Shanghai Composite, at 4,002.76 points, and 0.47% of the less comprehensive Shenzhen Composite, at 2,517.57 points.
Apathy in Asia prevailed, despite the New York stock exchanges advancing strongly yesterday, especially in the technology sector, driven by renewed optimism about AI (artificial intelligence) and the expectation that the US government shutdown, in effect for more than 40 days, will soon be ended.
In Oceania, the Australian stock market was in the red, with a drop of 0.19% in the S&P/ASX 200 in Sydney, at 8,818.80 points.
