Asian stocks were mixed on Thursday following a closely watched meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping that aimed to ease tensions between the world’s two largest economies. Trump called the talks in South Korea — his first face-to-face meeting with Xi since 2019 — “amazing,” while Chinese state media reported that the two leaders had reached a “consensus” on economic and trade issues. Market reaction was muted: Japan’s Nikkei closed flat after the Bank of Japan kept interest rates unchanged, as widely expected.
