U.S. stocks rose, aligning with gains seen in global markets the previous day as major indices tracked a broader rally and investors weighed upcoming economic signals and policy expectations.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) reached its highest-ever stock price, surging 5.2% to close at NT$725 in Taipei on Monday, amid a global rally in chip stocks driven by optimism about artificial intelligence. TSMC's market capitalization rose to $597 billion, positioning it closer to rejoining the world’s 10 most-valuable companies. The company, a key supplier to Apple Inc. and Nvidia Corp., is expected to benefit from the ongoing AI boom and anticipates a return to solid growth this quarter.

The global rally in stocks came to a halt as a late slide on Wall Street dampened investor sentiment in Asia. The decline in UK inflation and a jump in US consumer confidence fueled expectations of interest rate cuts next year, but the reversal in Wall Street's performance triggered a sharp decline in world stocks. If the negativity continues, emerging markets, Asian markets, and Chinese markets, in particular, are likely to underperform. In Hong Kong, consumer price inflation has been rising, while in Indonesia, the central bank is expected to keep interest rates steady.

Global stocks and bonds rallied as the Federal Reserve signaled interest-rate cuts for next year, leading to a bullish sentiment in markets as inflation eases. Stock benchmarks in Australia, South Korea, and China all rose over 1%, while the dollar weakened to a four-month low.
