Shares were mixed in Asia on Wednesday after U.S. stocks rose to records despite President-elect Donald Trump’s latest talk about tariffs, which caused only ripples on Wall Street.
Tokyo’s Nikkei index fell nearly 1%, to 38,081.10 as the Japanese yen surged in value against the U.S. dollar. The dollar fell to 152.31 yen from 153.08 yen. It had traded above 155 yen recently, but uncertainty over the future course of U.S. trade policy has led investors to buy yen as a safe haven, analysts said.
