- SoftBank jumped 10% as Asian tech stocks tracked Wall Street's AI rally, per CNBC, with Reuters framing the move as a shift in tech sentiment across regional markets.
- Oil prices eased while Asian shares broadly gained on hopes for a Mideast deal and as companies reported strong profits, according to the WRA headline.
Why it matters: With SoftBank up 10% and Asian tech tracking a Wall Street AI rally, investors are clearly rotating back into growth-oriented tech names — and the simultaneous slide in oil suggests geopolitical risk premium is fading fast on Mideast deal optimism.
