Asian shares are mixed after U.S. stocks fell on worries that what seemed like a blip in the battle to bring down inflation is turning into a troubling trend. South Korean shares were little changed after the ruling conservative party suffered a crushing defeat in a parliamentary election. Oil prices edged higher and U.S. futures were flat.

On Wednesday, the S&P 500 dropped 0.9% to 5,160.64. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1.1% to 38,461.51, and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.8% to 16,170.36. The yield on the 10-year Treasury jumped to 4.54% from 4.36% late Tuesday and is back to where it was in November. The two-year yield, which moves more on expectations for Fed action, shot even higher and rose to 4.97% from 4.74%.High interest rates work to undercut inflation by slowing the economy and hurting investment prices. The fear is that rates left too high for too long can cause a recession.

Real-estate stocks in the S&P 500 fell 4.1% for the biggest loss by far among the 11 sectors that make up the index. That included a 6.1% drop for office owner Boston Properties and a 5.3% tumble for Alexandria Real Estate Equities.
