Asian stocks climb as chip shares rally; Brent slips 0.3% to $76 a barrel
AI Market Summary
Asian equities firmed as semiconductor shares rebounded on renewed optimism around AI-driven demand, highlighted by Micron's larger US fab spending plans and SK Hynix's ADR developments. However, Nasdaq 100 futures eased, signaling more cautious positioning into earnings. Brent oil slipped as perceived US-Iran escalation risk diminished, supporting bond bid and reinforcing a risk mix that is constructive for chips but less uniform across broader tech.
