Asian markets settled mostly higher on Tuesday, tracking Wall Street’s gains overnight as investors returned to artificial intelligence-linked names, while risk appetite improved after Israel and Iran halted attacks on each other following a warning from US President Donald Trump. Chinese shares rose, despite heightened US-China tensions after the Pentagon accused some of China’s biggest companies, including Alibaba, Baidu and BYD of supporting the Chinese military. Japanese shares gained, while the yen held near a one-month low against the dollar amid reports that the Bank of Japan will raise its short-term policy rate and consider halting bond tapering from April 2027 at its upcoming monetary policy meeting on June 15-16. Moreover, Seoul shares surged over 8% after data showed South Korea’s economy expanded at a faster pace in the first quarterly than initially reported.
