Tech Sector Drives Asian Markets, Fed Rate Cut Hopes
Update: 2025-11-25
Description
Asian stock markets, led by technology shares, started the trading day on Tuesday with a positive outlook, driven by growing investor confidence in a potential U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate cut. MSCIs index for Asia-Pacific shares, excluding Japan, rose by nearly half a percent, while Japans Nikkei index and Hong Kongs Hang Seng Index saw even bigger gains. South Koreas Kospi and Australias S&P/ASX two hundred index also increased. This trend mirrored the U.S. markets performance, where stocks closed higher, driven by the technology sector. The anticipation of a December interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve is seen as a way to stimulate economic growth, boosting stock market performance, particularly in sectors sensitive to borrowing costs.
