Asian stocks were mixed Tuesday after a muted U.S. trading session, with Japanese shares extending gains as the yen remained under pressure. The dollar pushed higher as emerging-market currencies slid, led by Indonesia’s rupiah.
The Nikkei 225 Stock Average ticked up a day after its highest close since 1991. Stocks in Hong Kong underperformed as traders returned from a long weekend, and equities also fell in Australia and South Korea. China’s markets are shut. Earlier, the S&P 500 Index finished higher, though more stocks fell than rose in the benchmark index. The euro weakened alongside the pound amid ongoing speculation over the U.K.’s Brexit strategy.
