Stock market today: Asian shares are mostly lower on revived caution over future trade friction

BANGKOK (AP) — World shares were mixed on Thursday after the latest U.S. economic data calmed frazzled nerves on Wall Street.

U.S. futures edged lower, with the contract for the S&P 500 down 0.2% and that for the Dow Jones Industrial Average less than 0.1% lower. U.S. markets will be closed Thursday to observe a National Day of Mourning for former President Jimmy Carter.
