Nvidia dropped around 3.4% amid continued weakness in AI-related stocks.\n\nAsian markets were mixed on Tuesday. Japan’s Nikkei was broadly steady to higher, helped by a strong rebound in SoftBank, while **Australia’s ASX 200 fell around 0.9%** and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng traded lower.\n\nWith oil prices elevated and government bond yields pushing to multi-year highs, investors remain cautious ahead of this week’s key central-bank decisions."}
