Asia stocks rise as tech rout stalls; Australia hits record high on positive PMI Investing.com-- Most Asian stocks advanced on Thursday as technology shares steadied from a recent rout, with Australian markets reaching record highs on positive business activity data for August. Chinese shares also advanced, hitting multi-year highs amid growing optimism over an economic recovery. Japanese markets lagged, as data showed a sustained, albeit narrowing contraction in the manufacturing sector. Regional markets shrugged off middling overnight cues from Wall Street, as sustained selling in tech pressured Wall Street. Markets were also spooked by somewhat hawkish signals from the minutes of the Federal Reserve’s July meeting, which reiterated the bank’s wait-and-see approach on interest rate cuts. S&P 500 Futures were flat in Asian trade, with focus now squarely on Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s address at the Jackson Hole Symposium this week. China shares back at multi-year highs, S.Korea rebounds China’s Shanghai Shenzhen CSI 300 and Shanghai Composite indexes rose 0.6% and 0.4%, respectively. The CSI 300 reached its highest level since October 2025, while the SSEC reclaimed an over nine-year peak. Chinese markets were on a tear in August amid growing expectations that Beijing will dole out more economic support, especially as economic prints for July painted a dour picture. South Korea’s KOSPI surged 1%, rebounding sharply from three days of steep losses as local technology stocks appeared to have found a bottom. The KOSPI hit a 1-½ month low on Wednesday as local tech stocks traced a rout in their global peers, which was sparked by increasing doubts over the profitability of artificial intelligence. Australia’s ASX 200 hits record high on positive PMIs Australia’s ASX 200 was among the better performers in Asia on Thursday, rising 1% to breach 9,000 points for the first time ever. Australian markets were boosted by investors pivoting out of tech and into more economically sensitive sectors such as financials and commodities, which are the two biggest sectors in the ASX. Positive purchasing managers index data also aided local stocks. Australia’s manufacturing and services sectors both grew at a faster pace in August from the prior month. Hong Kong flat as Baidu weighs after middling earnings Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index was flat as losses in internet giant Baidu Inc (HK:9888) largely offset gains in other sectors. Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) fell as much as 3% after logging underwhelming second-quarter earnings, as limited returns from its AI investments only partially offset a sustained decline in its core advertising business. Among broader Asian markets, Japan’s Nikkei 225 and TOPIX indexes fell around 0.5% each, extending their fall from record highs hit earlier in the week. PMI data showed Japan’s manufacturing sector shrank again in August, albeit at a smaller-than-expected pace. Service sector growth slowed. Gift Nifty 50 Futures for India’s Nifty 50 index rose 0.1%, pointing to a mildly positive open for the index after it cleared 25,000 points for the first time in nearly a month on Wednesday. Singapore’s Straits Times index was flat. With valuations skyrocketing in 2024, many investors are uneasy putting more money into stocks. Sure, there are always opportunities in the stock market – but finding them feels more difficult now than a year ago. Unsure where to invest next? One of the best ways to discover new high-potential opportunities is to look at the top performing portfolios this year. ProPicks AI offers 6 model portfolios from Investing.com which identify the best stocks for investors to buy right now. For example, ProPicks AI found 9 overlooked stocks that jumped over 25% this year alone. The new stocks that made the monthly cut could yield enormous returns in the coming years. Is ASX one of them?

European stocks edge higher ahead of PMI data; trade talks in focus Investing.com - European equity indices edged higher Wednesday ahead of the release of regional manufacturing activity data, but investors remain cautious amid trade uncertainty and in the build up to the latest European Central Bank meeting. At 03:05 ET (07:05 GMT), the DAX index in Germany climbed 0.7%, the CAC 40 in France gained 0.4% and the FTSE 100 in the U.K. rose 0.1%. Uncertainty over trade talks European stocks have followed their Asian counterparts higher Wednesday, boosted by hopes that a trade deal could still be possible when U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping talk this week. However, these gains are tentative, with trade tensions still elevated as Trump earlier signed a proclamation raising his tariffs on steel and aluminum to 50% from 25%, making good on his earlier threat, with the higher duties effective from Wednesday. Additionally, Trump on Wednesday described Xi Jinping as a tough negotiator, amid the ongoing tariff rift between the two countries. "I like President XI of China, always have, and always will, but he is VERY TOUGH, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH!!!," Trump wrote in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social. Today is the deadline for U.S. trading partners to submit their "best offer" to avoid punishing import tax rates, and so far, only Britain has struck a preliminary trade agreement with the U.S. during Trump’s 90-day pause on a wider array of tariffs. The European Union said earlier this week that it had yet to receive a letter from Washington asking for its best proposals on trade talks, a point duplicated by Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi earlier Wednesday. PMI data due ahead of ECB meeting The European economic data slate centers around a series of manufacturing activity data from the region Wednesday, as investors await the latest policy-setting meeting of the European Central Bank, due for completion on Thursday. There have been some signs of economic recovery in Europe, but from a low base, and eurozone consumer prices slowed to 1.9% last month, which is seen providing the ECB with room to cut interest rates by a quarter point once more, in what would be an eighth rate reduction in the past year. However, where the ECB goes after this is open to debate as U.S. tariff uncertainty, heightened further by ambiguity over court rulings on the legality of the tariffs, makes the backdrop challenging as the ECB weighs the impact to business activity against implications for inflation further out. Remy Cointreau sees weak sales in key markets In the corporate sector, spirits group Remy Cointreau (EPA:RCOP) reported a smaller-than-expected drop in annual organic operating profit, reflecting weak sales in its key markets of China and the United States. The French company also withdrew its mid-term goals and said sales would return to mid-to-single-digit growth during the next financial year. Swedbank (ST:SWEDa) said that it is maintaining its return on equity target of at least 15% for the coming years, reaffirming a goal the Swedish banking group had set through 2025. Airbus (EPA:AIR) will also be in the spotlight after Bloomberg reported China is reportedly contemplating an extensive order from the aircraft manufacturer, which could be finalized as early as next month. Crude slips back from two-week highs Oil prices slipped lower Wednesday, falling back from recent highs generated by increasing OPEC+ output and concerns that tariffs will hit global economic activity. At 03:05 ET, Brent futures slipped 0.3% to $65.41 a barrel, and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell 0.4% to $61.18 a barrel. Both benchmarks climbed about 2% on Tuesday to a two-week high, driven by worries over supply disruption from Canadian wildfires and expectations that Iran would reject a U.S. nuclear deal proposal key to easing sanctions on the major oil producer. Additionally, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies, known as OPEC+, agreed to keep output increases in July at 411,000 barrels per day, which was less than some in the market had feared.
