Hong Kong, 10 November 2026 – Asian technology shares led a regional equity rebound on 10 November, following a 2.7% rise in the Nasdaq Composite in the previous United States session. At around 10:30am Malaysia and Hong Kong time, South Korea’s Kospi was up 4.1% at 5,223.87, while Japan’s Nikkei 225 stood 2.9% higher at 60,475.78 at its trading break.
The recovery matters to Asian investors because semiconductor and technology stocks have been central to both the recent sell-off and the subsequent rebound. Lower oil prices also offered some relief to the regional backdrop. Yet a strong trading session is evidence of improved market sentiment, not confirmation that concerns over AI investment returns or company valuations have been resolved. The earlier sell-off had centred on the scale of AI spending and uncertainty over future returns, alongside regulatory concerns after the US elections. Those questions remain separate from the day’s price recovery.
