Asian stocks today: Markets kick off new year on a positive note; Hang Seng jumps over 2%
Asian markets opened the new year positively, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng index surging 2.2% and technology stocks leading the rally. This optimism follows gains in US futures and higher oil prices, driven by expectations of AI-driven demand for chips and infrastructure. Despite a late-year pullback, US markets achieved strong annual gains in 2025.
