Briefing by News4U · First published 2026-11-09 09:01:32 UTC

Asian stock markets rebounded Monday after last week’s tech rout triggered by the Democratic Party’s sweeping victory in the US midterm elections. The Nikkei 225 jumped 3.45 percent, the Taiex rose 5.72 percent, the Kospi gained 1.68 percent and the Hang Seng Index edged up 0.19 percent. Wall Street’s S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures each advanced about 0.6 percent. The rebound followed a $2.5 trillion sell-off on Thursday amid concerns that Democratic-controlled legislatures could slow AI data-centre rollout. [1] [2] [3]
