Asian markets are mixed at the start of mid-week trade in-line with a mixed session on Wall Street.
The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq hit all-time closing highs on Tuesday, but a drop in Apple stock capped gains from positive developments in U.S.-China trade and fresh progress in the medical battle against the coronavirus pandemic.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 59.71 points, or 0.21%, to 28,248.75, the S&P 500 gained 12.39 points, or 0.36%, to 3,443.67 and the Nasdaq Composite added 86.75 points, or 0.76%, to 11,466.47.
Crude oil prices rose to a five-month high on Tuesday as U.S. producers shut most offshore output in the Gulf of Mexico ahead of Hurricane Laura even as rising coronavirus cases in Asia and Europe capped gains. WTI crude rose 73 cents, or 1.7%, to settle at $43.35.
