Asian Equities Surge, Extending Global Rally Amid Bullish Market Sentiment

  • Asian shares gained, extending a record global stock rally as investors overlooked geopolitical concerns.
  • The MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose for the fourth day, led by a 1% gain in the Nikkei 225 Index; South Korea and Australia saw declines.
  • Gold and silver gains receded; Treasuries steadied after US manufacturing data suggested potential Federal Reserve easing.
  • Future market themes include stronger earnings, AI financing, M&A, and a shift to bullish sentiment, with analysts overweight on global equities.
