Asia-Pacific stocks mixed as Trump’s ceasefire doubts weigh on mood; Nikkei climbs

Investors also digested BOJ minutes suggesting rate hikes and a rise in 10-year yields, as Hong Kong gained modestly and U.S. stock futures pointed to small advances amid firmer oil prices and ongoing inflation concerns.
