Asia markets climb as Fed-cut optimism boosts investor mood
Asian equity markets rose Thursday after growing expectations of a U.S. interest rate cut next month led investors back into risk assets. MSCI’s Asia-Pacific index  rose 0.4%, while Tokyo’s Nikkei and South Korea’s Kospi each advanced over 1%. Currency markets and bond yields also reacted as the dollar softened. Traders said the rally reflects renewed confidence in global liquidity and a shift away from recent risk-off sentiment tied to equity valuations and tech sector jitters.
