Asian stock markets showed mixed performance on Friday, with most major indices falling despite encouraging US inflation figures.[1] US wholesale prices for July rose 4.7% year-over-year, down from 5.5% in June, suggesting the Federal Reserve may pause its interest rate hiking cycle.[1] The favorable inflation data helped limit losses in some markets while failing to drive broader regional gains.
