Asia-Pacific markets rose Monday as investors parsed a slew of data points, including South Korea and Japan’s industrial output figures for May and China’s purchasing managers’ index readings for June.<\/p>\n
Japan’s\u00a0benchmark\u00a0Nikkei 225<\/a>\u00a0climbed 1.13% in early trade, while the broader Topix index advanced 0.77%.<\/p>\n In South Korea, the\u00a0Kospi<\/a>\u00a0index added 0.63%, while the small-cap Kosdaq was flat.<\/p>\n Over in Australia, the\u00a0S&P\/ASX 200<\/a>\u00a0started the day 0.3% higher.<\/p>\n Futures for Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index<\/a> stood at 24,182, pointing to a weaker open compared to the HSI’s last close of 24,284.15.<\/p>\n U.S. equity futures<\/a>\u00a0rose in early Asia hours before the year stretches into the second half.<\/p>\n All three key benchmarks on\u00a0Wall Street rose sharply in last Friday’s session. The broad-based\u00a0S&P 500<\/a>\u00a0hit a new record in more than four months after ending the session about 0.5% higher at 6,173.07 \u2014 overtaking its previous record of 6,147.43.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Nasdaq Composite<\/a>\u00a0also reached an all-time high, closing at a record after adding about 0.5%, while the\u00a0Dow Jones Industrial Average<\/a>\u00a0rose nearly 1%.<\/p>\n The three benchmarks have staged a sharp recovery this month from the lows seen in April during the height of trade policy tensions. The whipsaw of global trade negotiations can quickly sway market sentiment and pose an ongoing threat to the strength of this rally.<\/p>\n \u2014 CNBC’s Pia Singh contributed to this report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aerial view of Seoul downtown city skyline with vehicle on expressway and bridge cross over Han river in…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":25804,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[8002,8000,4740,7992,7998,133,64,81,144,3748,8001,7994,3348,7995,135,143,7997,147,6769,145,7996,6043,7991,67,132,68,7993,7999,137],"class_list":{"0":"post-25803","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-markets","8":"tag-arm-holdings-plc","9":"tag-asia-economy","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-australian-dollar-us-dollar-fx-spot-rate","12":"tag-breaking-news-asia","13":"tag-breaking-news-markets","14":"tag-business","15":"tag-business-news","16":"tag-dow-jones-industrial-average","17":"tag-dxy-us-dollar-currency-index","18":"tag-economic-events","19":"tag-hang-seng-index","20":"tag-ice-brent-crude-apr23","21":"tag-kospi-index","22":"tag-markets","23":"tag-nasdaq-composite","24":"tag-nikkei-225-index","25":"tag-nvidia-corp","26":"tag-prices","27":"tag-sp-500-index","28":"tag-sp-asx-200","29":"tag-shanghai","30":"tag-shenzhen-component-index","31":"tag-united-states","32":"tag-unitedstates","33":"tag-us","34":"tag-usd-jpy","35":"tag-world-markets","36":"tag-wti-crude-mar23"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25803","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25803"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25803\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25804"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25803"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25803"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25803"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
