Global stock markets rallied at the start of the week amid growing optimism that the US government shutdown will soon end. S&P 500 futures rose 0.5%, while the Nasdaq 100 gained 0.8%, after Senate Republican leader John Thune said a deal to end the 40-day shutdown was "taking shape." Several Democratic senators were reportedly ready to support the bill if final details could be agreed upon. Positive sentiment was also evident in Asian markets, with South Korean stocks leading the gains. Meanwhile, US Treasury yields rose to 4.12% as investors shifted to riskier assets, while the...
The Hang Seng climbed 260 points or 1.1% to end at 24,148 on Tuesday, closing higher for the first session in four amid broad-based gains led by tech, consumer, and financial stocks. Sentiment improved following a recent pledge from China's top leadership to tighten oversight on aggressive price-cutting by domestic firms, a move analysts say could support a rebound in producer prices and boost long-term corporate earnings. The tech index surged around 1.8% as several firms issued upbeat profit alerts, while consumer shares gained on optimism that subsidies from food delivery platforms in...
European stock indexes showed no clear direction on Tuesday (9/7), with the STOXX 50 and STOXX 600 moving sideways around the opening line. The main cause was the cautious attitude of investors who continued to monitor developments in trade negotiations between the United States and the European Union.

According to a Politico report, the US proposed a base tariff of 10% for all EU goods, but continued to reject the EU's request to remove tariffs from sensitive sectors such as cars, steel, aluminum, and...
Japanese stocks closed higher on Monday (8/7), with the Nikkei 225 index up 0.26% to 39,688.81, amid optimism that trade talks with the United States could still reach an agreement before new tariffs are imposed on August 1. This increase occurred even though US President Donald Trump has sent tariff warnings to 14 countries, including Japan, which will be subject to import tariffs of 25%. Trump still leaves room for negotiation, but also threatens to balance tariffs if there is retaliation. The tariff letter received by Japan is the same as other countries, and has raised concerns among...

US stocks plunged sharply on Monday as President Trump renewed trade tensions by announcing a new round of tariffs and extending the deadline to implement them to Aug. 1.
