Asian Markets Hit Fresh Record Highs 📈
Asian equities surged to new all-time highs on Thursday as investors brushed aside a stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report that had pressured Wall Street.
Rather than viewing the data as a threat to rate-cut expectations, markets interpreted it as a sign of underlying economic resilience.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index climbed 0.4% to a record high, extending its year-to-date gains to around 13%. According to Reuters, this marks its strongest start to a year relative to the S&P 500 this century.
Momentum remains firmly on the side of Asia as global investors rotate toward growth and regional strength.
