US weak jobs data triggers mixed responses in Asian markets, with Japan down and Hong Kong up.

Asian markets showed mixed results after Wall Street's worst day since May due to a weak US jobs report. The report indicated only 73,000 jobs were added in July, much lower than expected. This data raised concerns about the US economy and increased expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in September. The Nikkei 225 in Tokyo fell 1.6%, while the Hang Seng in Hong Kong rose 0.2%, and the Shanghai Composite index remained nearly unchanged.
