Asian markets surged alongside Wall Street, fueled by strong export data and a weaker yen, with Japan’s Nikkei leading the charge. Tech and AI stocks rebounded, powered by giants like Nvidia and Micron, while Australia and South Korea also climbed—though Hong Kong dipped slightly. Rising oil prices, driven by U.S.-Iran tensions, add pressure, especially for Japan, where higher energy costs meet a weaker currency. The uptick in oil also reignites inflation fears, potentially forcing central banks to hike rates—risking a market cooldown. Still, tech remains the engine of growth, as investors navigate a volatile mix of currency, energy, and inflation dynamics.
