Asian markets settled higher on Tuesday after technology shares pulled Wall Street to another record finish ahead of a slew of US economic data due this week. Market sentiments were also supported by expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut later this month. Seoul shares gained as new US curbs on semiconductor exports to China proved to be less harsh than previously expected, while Japanese shares rallied with optimism that Japan-made chip products will be exempted from new US curbs on exports to China.
