Asian share markets climbed as growing investor confidence in a potential U.S. interest rate cut boosted risk sentiment . MSCI’s Asia-Pacific index (ex-Japan) rose about 0.4%, while Japan’s Nikkei and South Korea’s Kospi surged over 1%. The softer dollar and falling Treasury yields supported equities. Tech and financial shares led gains as traders shrugged off earlier concerns over AI-driven volatility and awaited upcoming economic data for further direction.
