Asian equity markets traded mixed as Japan’s Nikkei and Taiwan’s TAIEX extended all-time highs driven by semiconductor strength and sustained AI hardware demand. Meanwhile, U.S. benchmarks ended unevenly with Nasdaq outperforming due to Amazon, Nvidia and AI-linked megacap advances.

Crude markets remain relatively stable as OPEC+ maintained a pause on incremental production expansion to avoid disorderly price volatility.
