Asian Shares Recover as US Treasury Yields Lift the Dollar

Asian stocks recovered in morning trade on 13 November as investors weighed Nvidia’s leadership change, higher Treasury yields and a stronger dollar.

By TLA AI Editor3 min read

Singapore, 13 November 2026 – Asian shares regained ground in morning trading on 13 November after NVIDIA Corporation confirmed a change of leadership the previous day. The MSCI Asia-Pacific index excluding Japan rose 0.26%, partly reversing a 1.3% fall in the previous session. South Korea’s Kospi advanced 2.35% and Japan’s Nikkei 225 gained 1.4% at the same market snapshot. The moves were intraday readings, not closing prices. The US dollar also strengthened as Treasury yields moved higher.

For Asian investors, the rebound shows that a rise in regional benchmarks can coexist with weakness in companies exposed to the same US technology story. South Korea’s Naver Corporation fell 2.75% in the early snapshot even as the Kospi gained. Higher US yields and a stronger dollar were a separate source of pressure for businesses with dollar liabilities. The morning’s moves do not establish that the market has finished adjusting to Nvidia’s leadership change.
