Market Wrap International:

U.S. equities ended modestly higher as steady economic data and ‎a stable interest-rate outlook supported risk sentiment, helping ‎markets extend recent gains without aggressive positioning. ‎Technology and cyclical shares provided incremental support, ‎while Treasury yields remained contained, limiting volatility ‎across sectors. The S&P 500 rose 0.2%, the Dow Jones Industrial ‎Average gained 0.2%, and the NASDAQ advanced 0.3%, ‎reflecting a broadly constructive but measured close.‎

European equities ended slightly firmer, tracking Wall Street’s ‎positive lead while investors assessed regional macro signals and ‎sector performance. Germany’s DAX outperformed with a 0.6% ‎gain, supported by industrial and cyclical names, while the FTSE ‎‎100 rose 0.2%. France’s CAC edged lower by -0.04%, but ‎broader sentiment remained supported as the EURO STOXX ‎‎600 increased 0.2%, indicating selective strength rather than ‎broad-based momentum.‎

 

Asian markets are trading mostly higher, supported by improved ‎risk appetite and strength in Chinese and Hong Kong equities, ‎while Japan’s Nikkei 225 was closed in the previous session. The ‎Shanghai Composite climbed 1.1% and South Korea’s KOSPI ‎gained 0.8%, reflecting renewed interest in regional equities, ‎while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng rose 1.4% on broad-based buying ‎across financial and technology shares.‎
