Stock market today: Asian shares are mixed after Wall Street suffers worst loss since Election Day

Shares are mixed in Asia after U.S. stocks fell to their worst loss since Election Day. Japan's benchmark lost 1% while Chinese markets gained more than 1%. On Friday, the boost that Wall Street got from last week’s victory for Donald Trump and a cut to interest rates by the Federal Reserve kept fading. The S&P 500 sank 1.3% to close a losing week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.7%, and the Nasdaq composite fell 2.2%. Moderna and other makers of vaccines helped drag the market down after President-elect Donald Trump proposed that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an anti-vaccine activist, be his health secretary.
