Asian stocks advance on tech and Wall Street gains

Asian stocks rose today, led by gains in the technology sector, primarily supported by a rally on Wall Street after Federal Reserve Board member Christopher Waller alleviated concerns about a potential near-term interest rate hike. The Nikkei index in Japan increased by over 1%, with SoftBank's shares soaring by more than 10%. Additionally, the indices in Korea and Hong Kong saw significant gains, driven by expectations of a slowdown in the anticipated rate hikes. The chances of a U.S. interest rate increase dropped to around 50%, resulting in a decline in U.S. Treasury bond yields and providing a boost to market indexes as investors await the upcoming U.S. jobs report and its potential impact on monetary policy. Oil prices also climbed, nearing $96 per barrel, amid ongoing geopolitical tensions affecting energy markets.
