Asian shares are mixed after U.S. stocks held relatively steady on Wall Street. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 lost 1.5% but most other markets saw modest changes. The yen weakened further against the U.S. dollar. On Tuesday, the S&P 500 rose 0.1% in its fourth straight gain. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.1%.

A weak yen helps the profits of Japanese companies that earn much of their revenue overseas, but fluctuations in rates can upend planning and the yen’s weakness has severely eroded the purchasing power of both households and businesses, pushing up costs of imports of food and energy, among other things.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.1%, to 38,884.26, and the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.1%, to 16,332.56. That could suggest investors are listening to critics who have been calling the U.S. stock market broadly too expensive following its run to records this year. For stock prices to climb further, either profits will need to grow more or interest rates will need to fall.
