TOKYO (AP) — Global shares were mixed Tuesday as uncertainty about what will happen with the Iran war roiled global markets.
France's CAC 40 edged up 0.6% in early trading to 8,034.62, while the German DAX gained 1.1% to 24,574.98. Britain's FTSE 100 rose 0.6% to 10,384.15. The future for the S&P 500 fell 0.2% while that for the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost less than 0.1%.
In Asian trading, Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 lost 0.4% to finish at 60,550.59, erasing initial gains after the government reported that the economy grew for the second straight quarter in January-March, mainly due to better than expected consumer spending.
