Asian stocks presented a mixed picture on Monday, following a rally on Wall Street prompted by the Federal Reserve’s indication of potential interest rate cuts. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones climbed, with the S&P nearing its all-time high, largely fueled by gains in the tech sector. However, Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell 1.1%, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng rose 1.0%. The Shanghai Composite remained flat. Geopolitical factors and economic data influenced market sentiment, with the euro gaining strength and oil prices slightly rising. Bond yields dropped, reflecting expectations for Fed monetary adjustments, contributing to mixed reactions in Asian markets.
