**Asian markets rise as US rally and rate-cut hopes lift sentiment**

Asian shares mostly advanced on Tuesday, buoyed by a strong rebound on Wall Street and growing optimism that the US Federal Reserve could move towards an interest rate cut in the coming months.

Japan’s **Nikkei 225** was little changed at **48,628.85** after reopening from a holiday, though sentiment was dampened by a sharp slump in **SoftBank**, which tumbled **10.3%**. Investors grew nervous that the group’s heavy exposure to OpenAI could be challenged by Google’s newly launched **Gemini 3** AI model, which has intensified competition in the artificial intelligence space.

Elsewhere in the region, **South Korea’s Kospi rose 0.3% to 3,859.12**, while **Taiwan’s Taiex jumped 1.5%**. Chinese markets also posted gains, with **Hong Kong’s Hang Seng up 0.4% to 25,821.47** and the **Shanghai Composite climbing 0.9% to 3,872.45**.

Shares in **Alibaba** edged **1.6% higher** ahead of its earnings report, expected later in the day.

In Australia, the **S&P/ASX 200** eked out a modest **0.1% gain to 8,537.00**, rebounding from recent weakness.

### Wall Street powers the rally

The upbeat mood followed a strong session in the US, where stocks surged on renewed enthusiasm for artificial intelligence and rising expectations of a Fed rate cut in December. The **S&P 500 climbed 1.55%**, the **Nasdaq Composite soared 2.69%**, and the **Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.44%**.

Technology stocks led the charge. **Alphabet surged 7.1% to a record $317.69** after Google unveiled Gemini 3, easing fears that it was falling behind OpenAI in the AI arms race.

Bond markets reflected the improving risk appetite, with **US 10-year Treasury yields slipping two basis points to 4.05%**, while **UK 10-year gilt yields edged down to 4.54%**.
