Asian markets performed inconsistently following an in-line US CPI print, with Korea leading on AI/semiconductor strength while regional metals and energy stocks faced selling pressure. Sentiment is currently bifurcated by a rotational shift toward AI infrastructure in North Asia versus index-linked outflows elsewhere.
Key Takeaways
- 1.Asia markets showed mixed performance; Korea entered a technical bull market driven by memory chipmakers and AI optimism, while Hong Kong and India lagged.
- 2.An in-line US CPI print provided a generally constructive macro backdrop, easing fears of imminent Fed rate hikes.
- 3.Commodity-linked sectors including metals, energy, and materials experienced broad selling pressure across Asian markets.
