November 25, 2025 (MLN): Asia markets traded higher on Tuesday, tracking a strong rebound in U.S. tech shares fueled by renewed confidence in Alphabet’s AI leadership and expectations of an upcoming Federal Reserve rate cut.

The upbeat mood followed a sharp rally in Alphabet, which surged 6.31% overnight after unveiling its updated AI model, Gemini 3.

The move lifted a broad range of AI-linked semiconductor names, including Broadcom and Micron Technology.

The momentum began late last week when New York Fed President John Williams signalled that policymakers could still consider a rate reduction at their December meeting.

Japan led the region’s gains, with the Nikkei 225 climbing 1.14% and the Topix advancing 0.7%, CNBC stated.

AI and semiconductor-related stocks helped drive the momentum, reflecting strong investor interest in the sector.

Among the top performers, semiconductor testing firm Advantest surged 4.8%, while equipment maker Lasertec gained 2.75%.

Tokyo Electron also rose 2.39%, supported by steady demand for advanced chipmaking tools, according to CNBC.

South Korea’s markets also saw solid advances. The Kospi rose 2.39%, while the Kosdaq gained 1.7%, supported by outsized moves in major chipmakers. SK Hynix rallied by up to 5%, and Samsung Electronics climbed around 4%.

Elsewhere in the region, Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 trimmed early gains to trade marginally higher.

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index added 1%, with the Hang Seng Tech Index rising 1.74%, while China’s CSI 300 increased 0.53% in morning trade.

U.S. futures were mostly steady during Asian hours following a powerful overnight session on Wall Street.

The S&P 500 gained 1.55% to close at 6,705.12, and the Nasdaq Composite surged 2.69% to 22,872.01 its strongest single-day performance since mid-May.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 202.86 points, finishing at 46,448.27.
