Asian equities rose after the US Treasury said it would at least double long-term bond issuance to ease a surge in borrowing costs, lifting rate-sensitive tech and semiconductor shares. The document also highlights persistent risks from elevated oil prices, Strait of Hormuz tensions, and a Federal Reserve that may tighten further if inflation does not cool.
Asian equities rose on Aug 5, 2026, tracking record highs on Wall Street as investors rotated back into technology following strong earnings and guidance from major US firms. Falling oil prices on expectations of progress toward reopening the Strait of Hormuz eased inflation concerns and reduced perceived pressure for aggressive US rate hikes.
Asian equities wobbled after a global tech-led selloff, with analysts warning that rapid two-way moves signal market instability. Policy uncertainty around the Fed, yen weakness near multi-decade lows, and fragile Middle East de-escalation dynamics are reinforcing cross-asset volatility.
Asian equities were mixed on 18 Jun 2026 as an interim US–Iran peace deal extended an April ceasefire by 60 days, contributing to lower oil prices.

Asian equities rallied on 21 May 2026 as limited normalization in Strait of Hormuz traffic eased immediate disruption fears while Nvidia’s upbeat outlook and Samsung’s strike suspension lifted chip sentiment.

Asian markets were subdued ahead of Chinese New Year closures, with Japan’s weaker-than-expected late-2025 growth adding to policy uncertainty. Softer US inflation revived expectations for Fed cuts while investors reassessed the payback timeline for large-scale AI infrastructure spending.
Asian markets extended gains on Feb 10, 2026, led by Tokyo’s Nikkei hitting another record amid expectations of Japanese fiscal stimulus and tax cuts following Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s election win. Sentiment improved with a Wall Street tech-led rally, but investors remain focused on AI spending payback and imminent US payrolls, inflation, and retail sales data that could shift Fed rate expectations.
The US dollar weakened across Asia after renewed speculation that US and Japanese officials could coordinate to support the yen, following reported New York Fed inquiries and firm messaging from Tokyo. The move spilled into stronger Asian currencies, weaker Japan equities, and a sharp safe-haven rally that pushed gold above US$5,000 amid geopolitical and policy uncertainty.
The source reports that former Federal Reserve adviser John Harold Rogers was sentenced to more than three years in prison after being convicted of making false statements to federal investigators.
