Asian Stocks Rise on US-China Trade Talks and AI Demand Amid Oil Price Decline
Asian stock markets showed mixed movements, with gains driven by optimism over US-China trade talks and strong demand for AI-related technology, particularly in chipmakers. Meanwhile, oil prices declined amid hopes of increased Saudi Arabian supply despite ongoing Middle East tensions. US and Chinese officials met to discuss trade and AI cooperation ahead of a planned summit. Markets remained cautious due to geopolitical risks, inflation concerns, and central bank interest rate policies, including the Bank of Japan's recent rate hike.
