Around the World
Asian stock markets moved higher on Tuesday, driven by optimism around U.S.-China trade talks. Reports suggested that President Trump might ease chip export restrictions to China, which boosted confidence in technology stocks. The S&P 500 Futures rose 0.5% in Asian trading, and key Chinese indices like the CSI 300 and Shanghai Composite also edged up. Japanese markets gained after strong GDP data, with the Nikkei 225 rising 1%. South Korea’s KOSPI continued its rally post-election, and Australia’s ASX 200 neared record highs. Despite trade hopes, weak Chinese economic data, including lower exports and slower inflation, limited some gains. Investors are also eyeing the upcoming U.S. inflation data on Wednesday. For traders and young investors, the overall tone remains cautiously optimistic, especially for tech and export-driven sectors in Asia, though global economic data could shift sentiment quickly.
