Stock market indexes in China and Hong Kong advanced amid speculation that the threat of the U.S. tariff headwinds may ease in the near future.
The Hang Seng index soared more than 3%, and the mainland-focused CSI 300 index advanced more than 1%, and benchmark indexes extended weekly gains to 3% and 0.6%, respectively.
The recent rally in artificial intelligence-linked stocks continued after Alibaba Group reported a surge in revenue and earnings, driven by the strong increase in its cloud services.
Moreover, foreign fund inflows have also supported the advances over the last five weeks, and the Hang Seng Tech index has rebounded by more than 20% from the low in January to approach a five-month high.
