📌 Asian Session Summary: June 26, 2025
Japan – Nikkei 225 +1.39%
Rose, driven by a rally in tech stocks, buoyed by new records from Nvidia the previous day, which boosted Japanese high-tech shares. The yen strengthens above 145 ¥/$, returning to previous levels.
China – Shanghai Composite +0.11%
Slight advance after three consecutive positive sessions, supported by easing tensions in the Middle East and signals of support from Beijing. Offshore yuan rises above 7.15 ¥/$, its highest level since November 2024. The Chinese central bank steps up its efforts to promote the digital yuan in Shanghai.
Hong Kong – Hang Seng -0.44%
Fell despite strong performance by Chinese tech firms, impacted by diplomatic uncertainty around the Israel-Iran ceasefire and investor caution.
India – Sensex +0.68%
Rebounded, supported by recovering domestic demand and positive sentiment in the finance and infrastructure sectors.
Australia – ASX 200 -0.01%
Slight drop to 8,554 points after four straight gains. The AUD appreciates above $0.652, supported by a 2.9% jump in job offers over three months.
Session Review
A mixed Asian session where optimism over Middle East stability and political backing in China benefited tech and regional currencies, even as Hong Kong trailed behind. This reinforces a global climate of caution ahead of US-China trade talks and upcoming macroeconomic releases.
