Asian Stock Markets Rise as Japan, China and South Korea See Gains
Japan's Tokyo market rebounded on July 27, with the Nikkei index climbing roughly 500 yen higher than the previous weekend's close.
China's Shanghai Composite Index slipped 62.58 points, a 1.61% decline to 3,814.20 after ending a four‑day rally, while the Shenzhen Composite fell 63.93 points, or 2.57%, to 2,419.23. The broader Asian outlook remained mixed amid falling oil prices and ongoing tariff concerns.
South Korea's KOSPI opened 1.73% higher at 6,736.09, boosted by eased Middle East tensions after the United States paused its Iran strikes, a drop in Brent crude to $91 per barrel and WTI to $84 per barrel, and a $950 billion AI‑chip partnership announced at a summit in San Francisco. The deal includes SK Group supplying $750 billion of high‑performance semiconductors to Nvidia, and Nvidia investing $1 billion in Naver for a new data‑center project.
