Mixed dynamics were observed in Asian markets. Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell by 0.19% to 62,713.65 points, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index declined by 0.87% to 26,393.71 points, China’s CSI 300 dropped by 0.58% to 4,871.91 points, while Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 decreased by 1.51% to 8,744.35 points.

According to analysts, although market participants assessed optimism regarding trade talks between the United States and China, rising tensions in the Middle East, particularly in US-Iran relations, and volatility in energy prices limited investors’ risk appetite.
