India, July 9 -- Asian stocks ended mixed on Thursday, giving up some early gains as investors digested Chinese inflation data and monitored escalating hostilities in the Middle East.
U.S. forces conducted strikes against Iran for a second straight day on Wednesday, but President Donald Trump said he expects the military flare-up will end very quickly and the U.S. is not looking for a long-term war.
Regional gains, if any, were limited due to renewed geopolitical tensions in the Middle East as well as uncertainty over the outlook for artificial intelligence demand.
