Asian markets settled higher on Tuesday, tracking Wall Street’s gains overnight and easing trade tensions after US President Donald Trump reached a trade deal with India that lowers tariffs and shifts Indian oil purchases away from Russia. The Kospi average soared due to bargain hunting following the previous day's plunge. Japan’s Nikkei surged amid strong earnings from the technology and finance sectors, and as polls showed Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's party is headed towards a landslide victory in the House of Representatives election on Sunday. Chinese shares rallied, supported by stabilized sentiment in global metals markets and positive economic signals from both domestic manufacturing data and strong US factory activity.
