Asian stocks traded in narrow ranges early Wednesday after US benchmarks wiped out their 2025 losses on signs the global trade war is cooling and after US inflation climbed less than forecast. Equities were mixed in Japan while they crept lower in Australia. US contracts were little changed after chipmakers led Tuesday's rally on Wall Street, following news Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices will supply semiconductors to Saudi Arabian firm Humain for a data-center project. We get a look at the market landscape with Todd Walsh, CEO and Chief Technical Analyst at Alpha Cubed Investments.

Plus - former US Ambassador to China Nick Burns warns that the US-China trade war has effectively become a trade embargo, driven by extreme tariffs and deepening strategic rivalry. Burns stresses that the worlds two largest global economies must strike a deal within 90 days to prevent long-term economic decoupling. He speaks with Bloomberg's David Gura.
