Benchmark stock indexes in China and Hong Kong rebounded after geopolitical tensions eased.
The Hang Seng Index erased morning gains and eased to 0.2%, and the CSI 300 Index decreased 0.5% amid receding fears of an imminent U.S. attack on Greenland.
The U.S. president said a "framework deal" has been reached between the U.S. and NATO over Greenland, without giving any evidence.
Markets in Asia rebounded for now in the hopes that the tentative agreement will avoid a wider conflict between the U.S. and the European Union, which could impact global trade.
Moreover, Japanese bond yields inched lower after the ruling party leaders and government officials talked up the financial outlook and insurance companies stepped up buying.
China Indexes and Stocks
The Hang Seng Index decreased 0.2% to 26,541.39, and the mainland-focused CSI 300 Index fell 0.5% to 4,701.22.
Gold edged down 0.6% to $4,799.40 an ounce after the receding tensions linked to Greenland calmed investor nerves.
Technology stocks continued to trade sideways as risk sentiment remained depressed.
Electric vehicle makers and technology platform operators led gainers, and Alibaba Group, Baidu, Li Auto, Meituan, and JD.com gained between 0.3% and 4%.
Among the decliners, Zijin Mining Group, Zijin Gold, China Vanke, Henderson Land, Xiaomi, and SMIC decreased between 0.4% and 2.2%.
