The rally was supported by resilient earnings from major financial institutions and a broader recovery in industrial stocks, even as other North Asian markets faced volatility.<\/p>\n<p>In Hong Kong, <strong>Alibaba Group Holding (<a href=\"\/stock\/BABA\">BABA<\/a>)<\/strong> shares dropped more than <strong>2%<\/strong> during morning trading, reflecting broader pressure on Chinese tech giants. Meanwhile, the space-AI startup <strong>Adaspace Technology<\/strong> is facing a &quot;wary&quot; reception for its upcoming IPO; the company, which seeks a <strong>HK$15 billion<\/strong> valuation, has seen sluggish retail demand amid a cooling market for new listings in the city.<\/p>\n<h2>AI and Technology Sector<\/h2>\n<p>The highly anticipated public debut of AI lab <strong>Anthropic<\/strong> hit a snag as the company notified bankers that its IPO filing contained <strong>incorrect financial figures<\/strong>. Updated data is expected to follow shortly, but the error has added to investor skepticism regarding the firm\u2019s aggressive <strong>$1.5 trillion to $2 trillion<\/strong> valuation target.<\/p>\n<p>The correction comes at a sensitive time for the AI sector, following a recent sell-off in technology stocks.

The decline follows reports of potential diplomatic progress in the Middle East, which could ease supply constraints that have kept prices elevated throughout the quarter.<\/p>\n<p>In the fixed-income market, the <strong>Japanese government<\/strong> offered <strong>0.6 trillion yen<\/strong> in 30-year bonds.
