Asian Shares are Mixed with Tech Stocks Volatile, and Oil Falls on Trump's Russian Sanctions Waiver

Asian shares were mixed Monday as volatility in technology stocks persisted, while US equity futures edged higher ahead of another week of American corporate earnings results. Oil prices fell more than 1% after US President Donald Trump’s decision to waive sweeping sanctions on Russia, including on Russian energy, The Associated Press said. A sell-off of technology shares from Asia to Wall Street recently put downward pressure on stock markets, as investor concerns grow over the sustainability of the artificial intelligence boom.
