TOKYO (AP) \u2014 Asian shares were trading mixed on Tuesday after a rally on Wall Street spurred by U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s reassurances over relations with China. <\/p>\n
Japan\u2019s benchmark Nikkei 225 slipped 1.4% to 47,419.87, as trading resumed following a national holiday Monday. <\/p>\n
In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng lost 0.4% to 25,788.44, while the Shanghai Composite edged up 0.2% to 3,897.56. <\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry about China,\u201d<\/a> Trump said on his social media platform Sunday. He also said that China\u2019s leader, Xi Jinping, \u201cdoesn\u2019t want Depression for his country, and neither do I. The U.S.A. wants to help China, not hurt it!!!\u201d<\/p>\n On Friday, the S&P 500 tumbled<\/a> to its worst drop since April after he accused China of \u201c a moral disgrace <\/a> in dealing with other Nations.\u201d He also threatened much higher tariffs on Chinese goods<\/a>.<\/p>\n Still, the status of trade talks between the two biggest economies remains unclear. Despite harsh rhetoric and fresh retaliatory moves on tariffs and export controls, Trump said he still may meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping later this month on the sidelines of a regional summit. <\/p>\n Australia\u2019s S&P\/ASX 200 edged 0.1% lower to 8,876.20. South Korea\u2019s Kospi gained 0.6% to 3,605.10. <\/p>\n The S&P 500 jumped 1.6% in its best day since May, closing at 6,654.72. It recovered just over half its drop from Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 1.3% to 46,067.68, and the Nasdaq composite leaped 2.2% to 22,694.61.<\/p>\n The down-and-up moves for the market echoed its manic swings<\/a> during April<\/a>, when Trump shocked investors with his \u201cLiberation Day\u201d announcement of worldwide tariffs. He eventually relented on many<\/a> to give time to negotiate trade deals.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter the sharp lurch in U.S. equities on Friday \u2014 the worst since the \u201cLiberation Day\u201d tariff shock \u2014 markets have delivered a relief rebound \u2014 arguably regaining confidence even,\u201d Mizuho Bank said in a commentary.<\/p>\n Trump\u2019s wavering on tariffs has helped stocks soar since April. So have expectations for several cuts to interest rates by the Federal Reserve to help the economy.<\/p>\n Critics say the market now looks too expensive<\/a> now after prices rose much faster than corporate profits. Worries are particularly high about companies in the artificial-intelligence industry<\/a>, where pessimists hear echoes of the 2000 dot-com bubble that imploded. <\/p>\n Broadcom jumped 9.9% for one of Monday\u2019s biggest gains in the S&P 500 after announcing a collaboration with OpenAI. Broadcom will help develop and deploy custom AI accelerators that the maker of ChatGPT will design. <\/p>\n For stocks to look less expensive, either prices need to fall, or companies\u2019 profits need to rise.<\/p>\n That\u2019s raising the stakes for the upcoming earnings reporting season, with big U.S. companies lined up to say how much profit they made during the summer. JPMorgan Chase, Johnson & Johnson and United Airlines are some of the big names on the calendar this coming week. <\/p>\n Fastenal tumbled 7.5% for the largest loss in the S&P 500 after the maker of fasteners and safety supplies reported a profit for the latest quarter that was slightly weaker than analysts expected. <\/p>\n In other dealings early Tuesday, benchmark U.S. crude added 20 cents to $59.69 a barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, gained 21 cents to $63.53 a barrel. <\/p>\n In currency trading, the U.S. dollar fell to 152.13 Japanese yen from 152.29 yen. The euro cost $1.1581, up from $1.1569. <\/p>\n ___<\/p>\n AP Business Writers Matt Ott and Stan Choe contributed.<\/p>\n Copyright
