Stock market today: Asian shares are mixed after Wall St pulls back after a shaky day

Asian shares are mixed after Wall Street pulled back from its record following a shaky day of trading, putting at least a temporary halt to its huge rally since Halloween. Hong Kong gained 2.3%. The S&P 500 slipped 0.7% Friday from its all-time high. It initially climbed after mixed data on the U.S. job market bolstered hopes for easier interest rates. Later, it swung to a loss after one of its most influential stocks, Nvidia, took a rare stumble following its jaw-dropping rise. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.2%, and the Nasdaq fell 1.2%. It was just the third losing week for the S&P 500 in the last 19.
