Asian stocks were mixed following a lackluster session in the U.S. as investors await the major central bank meetings this week, after shrugging at Tuesday’s North Korea summit.
Japanese shares had a modest gain as the yen dipped, while equities fell in Australia and Hong Kong. Chinese shares declined, with ZTE Corp. plunging by its daily limit after it agreed to a $1 billion fine. Safe-haven assets including the yen and gold edged lower amid the prospects of diminishing geopolitical risks after President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un pledged to work toward peace on the Korean peninsula.
