Asian shares are mostly lower as investors look ahead to a flood of global earnings reports, including from U.S. companies known as the “Magnificent Seven.” Shares fell Thursday in Tokyo, Seoul and Shanghai, while being little changed in Hong Kong. Trading was closed in Australia for a national holiday, Anzac Day. U.S. stocks drifted to a mixed finish, with the S&P 500 closing little changed. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite edged up 0.1%. Tesla, one of the Magnificent Seven companies, jumped after saying it would accelerate production of more affordable vehicles.
