Asian Markets Show Mixed Performance Amid China’s Economic Divergence and Yuan Strength
Asian markets showed mixed trends as China’s blue-chip stocks and South Korea’s Kospi faced steep quarterly declines due to weak domestic demand and elevated bond yields. Meanwhile, China’s yuan strengthened for a seventh consecutive quarter, supported by robust exports and weaker U.S. dollar. Japan’s Nikkei rose, driven by gains in AI and semiconductor stocks. The divergence reflects China’s two-speed economy, with resilient exports contrasting ongoing domestic economic challenges.
