HONG KONG (AP) — Global markets were higher Tuesday after U.S. stocks
rallied, recovering most of their big losses from last week, while
investors awaited U.S. inflation data for October.
U.S. futures edged higher.
Oil prices extended losses, with Brent crude falling below $91 per
barrel, the lowest level in three months, as President Donald Trump said
Monday that the war in Iran “militarily is effectively over,” easing
fears of further escalation.
In early European trading, Germany’s DAX rose 1.3% to 26,267.19, while
the CAC 40 in Paris gained 1.2% to 8,233.30. Britain’s FTSE 100 was up
0.4% to 10,830.12.
The future for the S&P 500 rose 0.3% and that for the Dow Jones
Industrial Average gained 0.7%.
Global demand for AI chips remains robust as AI chipmaker Taiwan
Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., or TSMC, reported after the market
closed that its October revenue was nearly six-fold that of a year
earlier.
In Asian trading, Taiwan’s Taiex jumped 2.5%.
Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 closed 2.9% higher at 60,459.58.
Shares in OpenAI investor SoftBank Group jumped 13.9% ahead of the
company’s earnings release. Its share price had fallen to its lowest
level in a year on Monday.
SoftBank Group reported a $7 billion loss for the three months through
September as worries about investments in artificial intelligence hurt
the Japanese technology company’s bottom line.
Computer chip equipment maker Tokyo Electron surged 6.1% and testing
equipment maker Advantest gained 4.6%.
South Korea’s Kospi climbed 4.4% to 5,239.13. Samsung Electronics gained
4.7% and SK Hynix climbed 6.7%.
In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng rose 0.6% to 24,584.81, while the Shanghai
Composite index edged 0.1% higher to 3,663.72.
China’s exports in October climbed 35.2% from a year earlier, while
imports grew 41.6%, according to customs data released on Tuesday.
That has put the country on track for another record for the year since
the trade surplus for 2026 has already surpassed $1 trillion.
Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 rose 1.1% to 9,129.00.

 Markets in India were closed for a
holiday.
Investors are watching for the U.S. consumer price index report for
October. It is expected to show inflation rose 3.9%, up from 3.7% in
September.
On Monday, the S&P 500 jumped 2.3% for a second straight gain after
a wipeout on worries that Democratic victories in the U.S. midterm
elections could lead to a slowdown in the construction of AI data
centers.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 2.2%, and the Nasdaq
composite rose 2.7%.
Stocks were lifted by a decline in the price of Brent crude. It fell
after President Donald Trump told CNN that a resumption of strikes
on Iran is “highly unlikely” if the United States sees progress in
negotiations toward ending the war.
However, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Sunday that
Iranian demands had sometimes been “outrageous and ridiculous.”
Nvidia's shares rose 1.8% in premarket trading early Tuesday. They
fell 4.3% on Monday after the chip company said it’s investigating
after its CEO, Jensen Huang, acknowledged an intimate relationship
with a business executive who, according to The New York Times, U.S.
intelligence determined was gathering information for China.
Nvidia’s board said it has “no reason to believe” that either
national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised but its inquiry
would examine all available information. China has rejected the
allegations.
In other dealings early Tuesday, the price of Brent crude, the
international standard, fell 2.2% to $90.52 a barrel. U.S. benchmark
crude oil was down 2.2% to $84.94 per barrel.
