Asian Shares Trade Cautiously After U.S. Market Record Run

We begin with this: Wall Street just set new records. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq climbed to all-time highs.  We saw investor hopes grow that the U.S. Federal Reserve may soon start easing interest rates. But as the U.S. markets surged, Asia responded more quietly. We, as global watchers, see Asian shares trading with care. Many big indexes moved only slightly. Some rose. Some held steady. Some slipped.
