<\/div>\n

Asian stocks ended lower on Friday, paring gains from the previous session sparked by US President Donald Trump\u2019s 90-day tariff pause. <\/p>\n

While mainland Chinese and Hong Kong shares rose on expectations of policy support, most other regional markets declined, weighed down by renewed concerns over trade tensions and a stronger yen.<\/p>\n

China, Hong Kong stocks gain on stimulus hopes<\/h2>\n

China\u2019s Shanghai Composite edged up 0.45% to 3,238.23 as investors awaited signals from a high-level government meeting expected to outline further stimulus measures. <\/p>\n

In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index advanced 1.13% to 20,914.69 following Trump\u2019s remarks that initial trade deals were \u201cvery close\u201d and that he remained optimistic about future negotiations with Beijing.<\/p>\n

Mainland investor flows helped pare losses during what has been the Hang Seng\u2019s worst week since 2018. <\/p>\n

Shares of electric-vehicle and semiconductor firms posted strong gains.<\/p>\n

BYD surged 7.2%, Li Auto rose 5.6%, and SMIC climbed 5.9%. <\/p>\n

On the downside, Trip.com dropped 4.6%, while Alibaba and Meituan slipped 1.7% and 1.3%, respectively.<\/p>\n

Japan market slides<\/h2>\n

Japanese equities retreated sharply, dragged lower by a stronger yen that pressured export-heavy sectors. <\/p>\n

The Nikkei 225 fell 2.96% to 33,585.58, and the broader Topix declined 2.85% to 2,466.91.<\/p>\n

Major exporters saw heavy selling. Toyota, Panasonic, Sony, and Canon each dropped between 4% and 7%. <\/p>\n

Fast Retailing, parent of Uniqlo, declined over 2%, and chip equipment supplier Advantest shed 4.6%. <\/p>\n

Bucking the trend, Baycurrent surged 12.5% after raising its profit outlook and unveiling a share buyback.<\/p>\n

Indian markets end in green<\/h2>\n

Indian markets that opened after a holiday on April 10 ended the session strongly higher.<\/p>\n

At the close of trading, the Sensex surged by 1,310.11 points, or 1.77%, to settle at 75,157.26. The Nifty followed suit, rising by 429.40 points, or 1.92%, to finish at 22,828.55. <\/p>\n

Among the biggest gainers on the Nifty were Hindalco Industries, Tata Steel, JSW Steel, Coal India, and Jio Financial. <\/p>\n

Other regional markets<\/h2>\n

In South Korea, the Kospi lost 0.5% to 2,432.72 as the trade standoff between the US and China weighed on sentiment. <\/p>\n

Key stocks such as Samsung Electronics, POSCO Holdings, LG Energy Solution, and Hyundai Motor fell between 2% and 5%.<\/p>\n

Australian markets also pulled back amid concerns about global growth. <\/p>\n

The S&P\/ASX 200 dropped 0.82% to 7,646.50, while the All Ordinaries slipped 0.76% to 7,853.70. Mining, energy, and healthcare shares led losses.<\/p>\n

Wall Street on Thursday<\/h2>\n

After a historic rally on Wednesday, US stocks experienced a steep decline during Thursday\u2019s trading session. <\/p>\n

The major indices posted substantial losses but remained well above their recent lows.<\/p>\n

The Nasdaq dropped 737.66 points, or 4.3%, to 16,387.31, the S&P 500 fell 188.85 points, or 3.5%, to 5,268.05, and the Dow Jones lost 1,014.79 points, or 2.5%, to 39,593.66.<\/p>\n

The market\u2019s pullback came amid growing concerns about escalating trade tensions between the US and China. <\/p>\n

President Trump\u2019s decision to exclude China from the tariff pause and implement a 125% tariff on Chinese imports added further pressure on investor sentiment.<\/p>\n
