Asian stock markets showed mixed results as U.S. President Trump's recent comments about potential tariffs on Chinese imports raised concerns among investors. Following a brief relief after Trump refrained from significant tariff actions, his proposal of a 10% duty due to fentanyl smuggling issues revived market jitters. The Hang Seng and Shanghai Composite indexes declined, while Japan's Nikkei 225 and Taiwan's Taiex saw gains due to Trump's AI investment announcement. Overall, U.S. futures rose, and oil prices experienced fluctuations amidst mixed economic signals.
