what happened
Asian stock markets opened mostly higher on Monday, supported by a rebound in US equities, according to TradingView. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index gained 0.6%. Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 2.04%, the Topix climbed 2.82%, Taiwan's TAIEX advanced 2.84%, while South Korea's Kospi slipped 0.25%.
Investors remain cautious because of an investigation that Nvidia's board launched into chief executive Jensen Huang. Several media outlets reported his link to a woman that intelligence agencies consider a Chinese spy. Huang acknowledged the relationship. Oil extended its decline after its steepest weekly drop since April 2020, with Brent trading near $97.42 a barrel.
why it matters
Two factors matter for markets: a sell-off in richly valued tech shares pushed Japanese and Taiwanese stocks into technical bear markets, and the Nvidia news adds uncertainty. Oil's slide reflects hopes that talks on the US-Iran conflict could make progress.
