Global shares are trading mixed after a rally on Wall Street that was led by gains in Microsoft after it announced it was hiring Sam Altman, former CEO of OpenAI, the ChatGPT maker. Shares rose in early Tuesday trading in Germany, but fell in France and Britain. In Asia, shares finished lower in Tokyo, while rising in Sydney and Seoul. Chinese markets were initially lifted by reports that regulators have drafted a list of property developers that will be able to tap low-cost financing. But shares finished lower in Hong Kong and Shanghai. U.S. futures and oil prices fell.
