Asian shares are trading mixed as market sentiment for some regional benchmarks got a boost from the tech-led rally on Wall Street. Benchmarks rose Friday in Tokyo, Seoul and Hong Kong, while declining in Sydney and Shanghai. The S&P 500 rose 1.1% Thursday, with technology stocks powering much of the gains. The Dow climbed 1.2%, and the Nasdaq composite rose 1.4%. Nvidia rose 1.8% after the giant chip company said it would buy the artificial intelligence platform Hugging Face for $13 billion. Brent was little changed in Asian trading. Treasury yields fell in the bond market.
