Conversely, Japan\u2019s Nikkei 225 fell 1.83% to 38,474.30, while the Topix dropped 1.16% to 2,682.58, extending their four-day losing streak. Notably, Japan\u2019s 40-year government bond yield hit an intraday high of 2.774%, the highest level since 2007, according to LSEG data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>South Korea\u2019s Kospi gained 0.31% to 2,497.40, and the small-cap Kosdaq rose 1.39% to 718.04.

India\u2019s December inflation data showed a second consecutive monthly decline, coming in at 5.22%, just below expectations, reinforcing the likelihood of future interest rate cuts. Thailand is set to release its consumer confidence index for December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the U.S., the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 358.67 points, or 0.86%, to 42,297.12, driven by gains in non-tech stocks like Caterpillar, JPMorgan, and UnitedHealth. However, the Nasdaq Composite dipped 0.38% to 19,088.10, while the S&amp;P 500 edged up 0.16% to 5,836.22. All three benchmarks have declined over the past two weeks, with tech stocks contributing significantly to the losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Upcoming Events:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>01:30 PM GMT &#8211; USD Core CPI m\/m<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>01:30 PM GMT &#8211; USD CPI m\/m<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>01:30 PM GMT &#8211; USD CPI y\/y<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global Markets: News &amp; Data: Markets Update: Asia-Pacific markets mostly advanced [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":71231,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[196,215,339],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-68866","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fundamental-analysis","category-market-analysis","category-recent-posts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets-vnk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68866","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets-vnk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets-vnk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets-vnk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets-vnk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68866"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets-vnk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68866\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":68873,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets-vnk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68866\/revisions\/68873"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets-vnk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets-vnk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68866"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets-vnk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68866"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets-vnk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68866"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
