MANILA, Philippines (AP) — World shares mostly retreated Thursday in choppy trading after President Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
While Trump said the meeting was “amazing” and had resolved many issues, investors appeared skeptical. U.S. futures were nearly flat.

Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 index bounced lower and then inched up less than 0.1% to 51,325.61 after the Bank of Japan kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged.
Chinese markets gave up early gains, with Hong Kong’s Hang Seng shedding 0.2% to 26,282.69. The Shanghai Composite index lost 0.7% to 3,986.90.
