Asian markets ended mostly higher on Tuesday. Major Asian stock markets, including Japan, China, and South Korea wee closed for public holidays, resulting in thin regional trading. Indonesian shares rose, supported by April inflation easing to 2.42%, the lowest since August 2025 and comfortably within Bank Indonesia’s 1.5%-3.5% target, despite caution ahead of Q1 GDP data releases later today. However, some gains were tempered by renewed strikes on maritime targets near the Strait of Hormuz and damage to port facilities across parts of the Gulf, marking the most serious flare-up since a fragile ceasefire was reached several weeks ago.
