Asian shares traded mixed early Wednesday, as fading enthusiasm over AI and other technology stocks gradually put the brakes on Wall Street’s record-setting run.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 edged up less than 0.1% to 62,774.94. South Korea's Kospi index gained 0.9% to 7,708.05, recouping some of its recent losses. The Kospi sank 2.3% earlier in the week from an all-time high after a senior figure in the administration suggested the government may redistribute windfall AI profits from companies to citizens.
