At 9:30 a.m. Vietnam time, the Nikkei 225 index in Tokyo rose 0.3% to 44,675.96 points at the break. The Hang Seng index in Hong Kong (China) jumped 1.7% to 27,304.94 points, while the Shanghai market was closed for a holiday. Green was also recorded in the markets of Sydney, Singapore, Wellington and Jakarta.
Leading the regional rally were Seoul and Taipei, boosted by chip companies following news of a deal between OpenAI and Samsung and SK Hynix. Samsung and SK Hynix said they signed preliminary agreements with OpenAI to supply chips and other equipment for their Stargate project, during a visit to Seoul by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
SK Hynix shares jumped about 12% and Samsung gained about 5%, helping the Kospi index rise more than 3% to a record high. Taipei's TAIEX also rose nearly 2% as chip giant TSMC gained 3%. Other tech companies in the region also rose sharply, with Hong Kong-listed Alibaba, Tencent and JD.com all rising 2-3%.
While the debate over the impact of the US government shutdown continues, investors continue to focus on the possibility of further rate cuts by the Fed, a prospect reinforced by recent data from ADP showing US companies cut 32,000 jobs last month, compared with forecasts for an increase of more than 50,000.
This is the latest data showing that the labor market in the world's top economy continues to slow and will create more momentum for the Fed to cut interest rates two more times before the end of the year.
In Vietnam, the VN-Index increased 6.33 points, or 0.38%, to 1,671.38 points, while the HNX-Index decreased slightly by 0.08 points, or 0.03%, to 273.14 points.
