Asian stock markets collectively rose, with the Nikkei leading the gains.
On Tuesday, the depreciation of the Japanese yen was beneficial for exports. The Nikkei 225 index opened 1.3% higher, then rose by over 2% to 35,744.39 points; the TOPIX index opened 1% higher at 2,526.94 points; the MSCI Asia-Pacific index recovered to the level before the sharp drop on August 5.
Market volatility may intensify. There are concerns in the market that if U.S. inflation data declines, it may indicate the beginning of an economic downturn. However, if inflation remains stubborn, the Federal Reserve may not be able to quickly cut interest rates to protect the economy. In addition, geopolitical risks remain high.
The market will continue to focus on the U.S. Consumer Price Index released on Wednesday to assess whether the U.S. economy can achieve a &#34;soft landing.&#34;
