Stock market today: Asian shares are mostly higher after Wall Street hits more records

BANGKOK (AP) — Shares were mostly higher in Asia on Thursday after Wall Street’s record-breaking rally powered on.

Shares fell in Chinese markets but rose in the rest of the region. U.S. futures were nearly unchanged and oil prices fell.

On Wednesday, U.S. stocks kept rising in a holiday-shortened session after weak reports on the economy kept the door open for possible cuts to interest rates.

U.S. markets will be closed Thursday for the Independence Day holiday.
