Stock market today: Asian shares mostly decline, shrugging off Wall Street's rally
Asian shares mostly fell Tuesday, despite a rally on Wall Street in stocks seen as benefiting the most from Donald Trump’s reelection as U.S. president. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 reversed early gains to decline 0.6% in afternoon trading to 39,289.14, weighed down by uncertainty about how Trump's policies, including tariffs, may affect local industries. Chinese tech stocks have been declining lately, while investors also have their eyes on upcoming earnings reports out of China.
