Asian stocks rise on AI sentiment and US-China trade truce
Asian stocks lifted by AI deal optimism and trade-truce hopes, though underpinning flow remains to be tested.
Asian equity markets climbed as investor sentiment improved following indications of a U.S.–China trade truce and strong interest in artificial-intelligence investment. The MSCI Asia-Pacific index rose around 0.6%, propelled by gains in Japanese and Korean tech stocks. The U.S. dollar remained near a three-month high amid hawkish commentary from Federal Reserve officials. While the atmosphere is upbeat, analysts warn the strength may depend on confirmation of trade agreements and the pace of AI-deal flows in the region.
