China's benchmark indexes rebounded from morning doldrums, driven by the sustained rise in artificial intelligence-linked stocks.
The Hang Seng index increased more than 1%, and the mainland-focused CSI 300 inched higher 0.3% as the stalled U.S.-Iran peace process weighed on the market sentiment.
Investors remained cautious as diplomats struggled to secure a U.S.-Iran peace agreement, and leaders of the U.S. and Israel sent contradictory signals.
The fragile ceasefire in the Middle East is increasingly looking tenuous, prolonging the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for commercial shipping.
The broader geopolitical outlook remains uncertain as the conflict in the Middle East enters its fourth month.
China Indexes and Stocks
The Hang Seng Index increased 1.1% to 25,678.49, and the mainland-focused CSI 300 added 0.3% to 4,882.02.
Morning losses turned to profits for semiconductor and electronic component makers as investors returned to increase their exposure to artificial intelligence-linked stocks.
Semiconductor Manufacturing International increased 0.5%, Luxshare Precision Industry advanced 0.8%, Victory Giant Technology gained 2.2%, and Eoptolink Technology soared 9%.
