Asian Markets Climb Amid Trade Hopes and Election Wins
TL;DR
Asian stocks rose driven by technology shares amid ongoing trade tensions, with South Korea reaching a 10-month high after election results. The dollar wobbled as new US tariffs on steel and aluminum took effect, and markets await a potential US-China call that could influence risk sentiment. Despite trade uncertainties, markets showed resilience, with some indices hitting multi-month highs, while commodities like oil and gold experienced slight declines or gains.
