Asian markets showed mixed results, with Japan's Nikkei 225 slipping by 0.3% amid political uncertainty following Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's coalition losing its upper house majority in the recent election. While some investors were initially reassured by Ishiba's commitment to remain in office, concerns over legislative power and a looming deadline for trade negotiations with the U.S. contributed to market volatility. Other Asian markets, including Hong Kong and Shanghai, posted slight gains, while South Korea's Kospi fell 1.4% as tariffs loom.
