Asian markets end mostly higher on Wednesday

01 Jul 2026 Evaluate

Asian markets ended mostly higher on Wednesday tracking Wall Street’s gains overnight, while investors focus shifted to US labour market data alongside upcoming remarks from Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh later today at the annual European Central Bank Forum in Sintra, Portugal. The June US ADP employment data, due later in the day, and US nonfarm payroll figures on Thursday, might provide fresh insights into the Fed's rate path going forward. Japanese shares gained as the yen slid to a fresh 40-year low against the US dollar, while investors cheered the results of a quarterly survey from the BoJ, which showed business sentiment among major Japanese manufacturers improved for a fifth straight quarter. However, South Korea’s Kospi tumbled as investors booked profits following recent artificial intelligence-fuelled rallies in semiconductor shares. Hong Kong markets were closed for Establishment Day. Meanwhile, ongoing geopolitical uncertainties are fuelling inflation worries and increasing the likelihood of Federal Reserve interest-rate hikes. Iranian Parliament Speaker and chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said Iran will not enter negotiations with the United States on a final agreement unless five preliminary paragraphs of a recently signed pace memorandum of understanding are fulfilled. These include provisions for ending the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, lifting the US naval blockade, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, issuing US waivers for Iranian crude oil exports, and releasing frozen Iranian assets.
