Asian shares mixed after technology fall leads US stock fall on Wall Street

Asian shares were mixed on Friday following a selloff of technology shares on Wall Street. Big tech stocks might have seemed like safe havens, but they have found themselves at the center of a brutal sell-off, said Stephen Innes, chief global market strategist at AxiCorp. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 recouped early losses to rise 0.3% in morning trading at 23,314.98. South Korea's Kospi dropped 0.3% to 2,389.21, while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 lost nearly 0.9% to 5,856.40. Hong Kong's Hang Seng gained 0.3% to 24,377.42, while the Shanghai Composite was little changed at 3,235.07. Concerns about the coronavirus pandemic and the big hope over a vaccine in the works overshadow the global market, analysts say. While Big Tech is benefiting from the shift to online life that the pandemic and ensuing stay-at-home economy has accelerated, critics said their stocks prices shot too high. The catch is that progress in curbing COVID-19 could hurt technology shares, Innes said. But keep your eye
