Asian Stocks Advance as Tech Rally Continues, Fed in Focus

Asian markets rose after their strongest quarter in 17 years, led by technology stocks. Strong US economic data and sticky inflation keep Fed rate hike expectations alive, while the yen hovers near a 40-year low and gold holds above $4,000.

Asian equities climbed on the first trading day of the new quarter, building on the best quarterly performance in 17 years. The rally was driven by continued strength in technology stocks, supported by resilient US consumer spending and a stable labor market.

Investor attention remains fixed on the Federal Reserve, as solid growth and sticky inflation keep the possibility of further rate hikes on the table. The Japanese yen weakened to around ¥162.65 per dollar, nearing a 40-year low and fueling expectations of government intervention.

In commodities, oil edged higher as traders monitored US-Iran talks and developments in the Strait of Hormuz. Gold held near $4,010 an ounce, and improving sentiment in the Middle East continued to support global risk appetite.
