Asian equities advanced broadly on Tuesday, buoyed by stronger-than-expected Chinese economic data and positive sentiment around US chip exports to China, even as investors largely looked past renewed tariff threats from US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

China’s GDP tops estimates<\/h2>\n

Data released by the National Bureau of Statistics showed that China’s economy grew 5.3% year-on-year in the first half of 2025, indicating resilience amid global headwinds and domestic structural reforms. <\/p>\n

Factory output in June grew at its fastest pace since March, but retail sales growth moderated from the previous month, suggesting uneven recovery across sectors.<\/p>\n

The Shanghai Composite Index, however, declined 0.42% to close at 3,505.21, as traders interpreted the strong data as lowering the likelihood of immediate stimulus measures. <\/p>\n

The CSI 300 Index, tracking large-cap stocks listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen, ended little changed.<\/p>\n

In contrast, Hong Kong stocks gained ground, led by technology shares. <\/p>\n

The Hang Seng Index rose 1.6% to 24,590.12, following a modest gain on Monday, while the Hang Seng Tech Index advanced 2.8%.<\/p>\n

Among notable movers, Alibaba Group Holding jumped 7% to HK$113.50, NetEase rose 3.4%, and Techtronic Industries climbed 3.9%. Electric vehicle maker Li Auto added 1.4%, while food delivery giant Meituan gained 4.4%.<\/p>\n

Japan stocks rises on AI chip export approval<\/h2>\n

Japanese equities advanced after Nvidia confirmed it had received US government approval to resume exports of its H20 AI chip to China, easing concerns over further supply restrictions.<\/p>\n

The Nikkei 225 Index climbed 0.55% to 39,678.02, despite some caution ahead of Japan’s upper house elections on July 20. <\/p>\n

The broader Topix Index ended marginally higher at 2,825.31.<\/p>\n

Semiconductor-linked stocks outperformed, with Tokyo Electron rising 3.5%, Advantest up 1.8%, and SoftBank Group gaining 2%. <\/p>\n

In the bond market, Japanese government bond yields surged, with the 30-year yield hitting a record high amid fiscal concerns ahead of the vote.<\/p>\n

Other regional markets<\/h2>\n

South Korea\u2019s Kospi Index edged up 0.41% to 3,215.28, marking a second consecutive day of gains, supported by strength in the tech sector.<\/p>\n

In Australia, equity markets closed at record highs, bolstered by rallies in banking, healthcare, and technology shares. <\/p>\n

The S&P\/ASX 200 rose 0.70% to 8,630.30, while the broader All Ordinaries Index gained 0.68% to 8,875.30.<\/p>\n

Indian equity benchmarks ended higher on Monday, with the Nifty closing just below the 25,200 mark, supported by broad-based sectoral gains.<\/p>\n

The Sensex rose 317.45 points, or 0.39%, to settle at 82,570.91, while the Nifty advanced 113.50 points, or 0.45%, to end at 25,195.80.<\/p>\n

All sectoral indices closed in the green, led by gains in pharma, auto, PSU bank, consumer durables, and realty, which rose between 0.5% and 1%.<\/p>\n

The broader markets also extended their uptrend for a second straight session, with the BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices gaining nearly 1 percent each.<\/p>\n

Among the top gainers on the Nifty were Hero Motocorp, Sun Pharma, Bajaj Auto, Apollo Hospitals, and Shriram Finance. <\/p>\n
