Asian stock markets posted mixed results on Tuesday following an overnight decline on Wall Street, as gains in select technology shares were offset by headwinds from escalating Middle East hostilities and new US trade friction. Japan's Nikkei rose 2.60% to above 64,900, while the broader Topix Index gained 0.8% to 3,950. South Korea's benchmark KOSPI surged more than 3% to around 6,720, staging a sharp recovery from an almost three-month low. China's Shanghai Composite rose 0.96% to 3,812 and the Shenzhen Component gained 0.7%, supported by Premier Li Qiang's reaffirmation of Beijing's commitment to hit full-year economic targets after second-quarter GDP growth slowed to 4.3%. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index fell 0.26% to 25,133, India's SENSEX dropped 0.25% to 77,599, and Australia's ASX 200 slipped 0.13% to 8,744, extending its losing streak to a fourth straight session.
