Varun Aggarwal, founder and managing director, Profit Idea, said "Elsewhere in Asia, stocks advanced on the back of Wall Street's positive momentum. A USD 16 billion sale of 20-year Treasuries attracted bond buyers, contributing to the overall market optimism. Notably, tech stocks, led by Microsoft's recruitment of former OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and other AI executives, outperformed".
Aggarwal added, "The yen strengthened against the US dollar for the fourth consecutive session as investors anticipated potential tightening of monetary policy by the Bank of Japan next year, while the Federal Reserve may adopt a more accommodative stance. The dollar reached its lowest level since mid-September against the yen, closing 0.61 per cent lower at 147.45".
