Market Performance: Most Asian stocks rose, influenced by a rebound in U.S. tech stocks and positive inflation data, with Japan's Nikkei 225 and South Korea's KOSPI showing notable gains. However, concerns over trade tensions and potential tariffs from the U.S. limited overall market optimism.
Trade Tensions Impact: President Trump's threats of additional tariffs on EU goods have raised worries about escalating trade conflicts, which could negatively affect Asian markets due to their integration into global trade networks and reliance on Western economies for exports.
