Asian shares pulled back from record highs on Thursday as oil prices climbed for a fourth consecutive day amid a fragile ceasefire in the Middle East.
Japan's Nikkei 225 was down more than 1.5 per cent during the day, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index slipped over 1 per cent. The Shanghai Composite and markets in Taiwan and South Korea were also down.
