Major stocks on the Nikkei 225 and Chinese markets remained in focus, while several exchanges in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia remained closed or traded flat due to the holiday. In commodity markets, gold and silver prices continued to hit record highs, further encouraging investors to seek refuge in safe-haven assets despite the stable stock market.
With minimal major economic data releases and a relatively quiet market calendar, investors remained attentive to the outlook for global interest rate policy, particularly the Federal Reserve's next move in 2026. Asian markets appear poised for year-end volatility with little market tension. (az)
