Asian markets ended mostly lower on Wednesday, led by South Korea’s Kospi index, following mixed cues from Wall Street overnight as a rebound in technology shares tied to the artificial intelligence boom ran out of steam. Market sentiment weakened further as Middle East tensions flared again after the downing of a US helicopter gunship near the Strait of Hormuz, casting doubt on the durability of a fragile ceasefire and the prospects for a broader peace agreement. Meanwhile, traders awaited cues from key US CPI data that might show inflation at a three-year high in May. Chinese shares fell after data showed China’s consumer price inflation unexpectedly stalled in May, while factory prices rose at the fastest pace in almost four years amid higher energy and raw material costs. Japanese markets tumbled after data showed Japan’s producer price index rose 6.3% in May from a year earlier, the fastest pace in more than three years. Investors were heavily pricing in a rate hike from the Bank of Japan at the June 15-16 policy meeting.
