TOKYO (AP) — Asian stocks are mixed in Europe and Asia ahead of the U.S. midterm elections, with trading likely to stay bumpy in a week that brings new inflation data and other events that could shake markets. Frankfurt, Tokyo and Seoul rose early Tuesday while Paris, London and Shanghai declined. U.S. futures were lower and oil prices fell. On Monday, the S&P 500 rose 1%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.3% and the Nasdaq composite added 0.9%. This week brings various big events, including U.S. inflation data and the election, which carries the risk of a U.S. government split between Democrats and Republicans and potentially snarled in gridlock.
