💨 Abstract

Asian markets showed mixed results on Wednesday, with some indices rising slightly while others fell. Japan and South Korea saw gains as they negotiate trade deals with the U.S. to avoid upcoming tariffs. Conversely, Chinese and Australian markets experienced declines. The Trump administration's trade policies and impending tariffs are causing global market fluctuations. On Wall Street, indices were mostly flat following a sell-off driven by new U.S. tariffs set to take effect in August.
