SINGAPORE — Shares in mainland China and Hong Kong led losses in mixed Asia-Pacific trading on Wednesday as investors continue to assess the potential economic ramifications of the ongoing war in Ukraine.

The Shanghai composite in mainland China fell 4.43% and the Shenzhen component declined 5.085%. The CSI 300 index, which tracks the largest mainland-listed stocks, dropped 4.5%.

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index also saw heavy losses as it slipped 3.14%.

Official data released Wednesday showed China’s producer inflation rising in February, with the producer price index increasing 8.8% year-on-year for that month. The February data compared against January’s 9.1% on-year rise, and was close to expectations of analysts in a Reuters poll for a 8.7% gain.

Meanwhile, China’s consumer price index for February rose 0.9% as compared with a year ago, unchanged from the growth in January and inline with expectations from a Reuters poll.

Elsewhere in Japan, the Nikkei 225 dipped 0.17% while the Topix index was little changed.

The S&P/ASX 200 in Australia jumped 1.04%. Over in Southeast Asia, Singapore’s Straits Times index gained 1.1%.

MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan slipped 0.65%.

Markets in South Korea are closed on Wednesday due to the country’s presidential election.

Oil prices jumped to their session highs on Tuesday after President Joe Biden said the U.S. will ban imports of Russian oil, a further escalation in the international response to Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. The United Kingdom also announced its own plans to phase out its reliance on Russian oil imports by the end of the year.

Investors in the region continued monitoring oil prices on Wednesday, which rose in the afternoon of Asia trading hours.

International benchmark Brent crude futures climbed 1.71% to $130.17 per barrel. U.S. crude futures gained 1.33% to $125.34 per barrel.
