Asia-Pacific markets traded mixed Tuesday in the absence of any major triggers, after two key Wall Street indexes rose overnight on tech optimism.<\/p>\n
Amazon<\/a>\u00a0shares rising 4% on a $38 billion deal<\/a>\u00a0with OpenAI, a move that will use hundreds of thousands of\u00a0Nvidia’s<\/a> graphics processing units. Nvidia also gained about 2% after it secured export licenses to ship\u00a0its<\/a> chips to the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n Australia’s S&P\/ASX 200<\/a> fell 0.7% as investors awaited the Reserve Bank of Australia’s policy decision.<\/p>\n Japan’s Nikkei 225<\/a> was 0.25% higher, and the Topix added 0.52%. South Korea’s Kospi<\/a> fell 1.29% while the small-cap Kosdaq climbed 0.24%.<\/p>\n Kospi has gained in 12 of the past 15 sessions, hitting multiple fresh highs this month<\/a> on the back global AI tailwinds as well as local structural changes that are steadily eroding the long-standing “Korea discount.” <\/p>\n Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index<\/a> edged 0.23% higher, while mainland’s CSI 300 was flat.<\/p>\n Overnight in the U.S., the tech-heavy Nasdaq<\/a> advanced 0.46%, while the\u00a0S&P 500<\/a>\u00a0traded up 0.17%. The\u00a0Dow Jones Industrial Average<\/a>\u00a0lagged, falling 0.48%.<\/p>\n \u2014 CNBC’s Sean Conlon and Fred Imbert contributed to this report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pedestrians are reflected in a window as electronic boards display stock information at the Australian Securities Exchange, operated…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":354352,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[8000,4740,133,64,81,144,7994,170,7995,135,12864,143,7997,147,145,7996,15243,10317,67,132,68,7999],"class_list":{"0":"post-354351","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-asia-economy","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-breaking-news-markets","11":"tag-business","12":"tag-business-news","13":"tag-dow-jones-industrial-average","14":"tag-hang-seng-index","15":"tag-japan","16":"tag-kospi-index","17":"tag-markets","18":"tag-nasdaq-100-index","19":"tag-nasdaq-composite","20":"tag-nikkei-225-index","21":"tag-nvidia-corp","22":"tag-sp-500-index","23":"tag-sp-asx-200","24":"tag-south-korea","25":"tag-united-arab-emirates","26":"tag-united-states","27":"tag-unitedstates","28":"tag-us","29":"tag-world-markets"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115489957842730180","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354351","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=354351"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354351\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/354352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=354351"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=354351"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=354351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
