Asian markets mostly higher as Wall Street tech rebound lifts sentiment

Asian equities were mostly higher as investors priced in easing U.S.-Iran tensions and a rebound in Wall Street technology shares after last week’s selloff. The article highlights improving risk sentiment, with U.S. futures also edging up. However, gains were uneven across the region: some markets stayed cautious, and South Korean semiconductor names remained volatile as investors questioned the durability of the AI-driven rally. In China, the People’s Bank of China’s liquidity actions helped support local markets but also coincided with a weaker yuan and higher government bond yields after policy rates were left unchanged. Overall, the piece points to a tentative stabilization in global tech sentiment, but regional monetary policy, geopolitics, and semiconductor volatility are still driving cross-asset moves.
