Market Wrap International:

U.S. equities ended firmer as stabilising Treasury yields and selective strength in industrials supported a mild risk-on tone, ‎with investors also digesting mixed consumer signals and a volatile rebound in crypto-linked assets. Technology and cyclical ‎names benefited from the improved rate backdrop, while upbeat corporate commentary in the industrial space, including ‎Boeing, added to sentiment. The S&P 500 rose 0.2%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.4%, and the NASDAQ ‎advanced 0.6%.‎

European equities advanced modestly as banking strength and selective industrial gains offset weakness in some French names, ‎while sentiment broadly followed the constructive tone from Wall Street. Trading remained relatively narrow, with flows ‎tilting toward defensives and modest support from corporate updates across the region. The FTSE 100 slightly fall, the ‎DAX rose 0.5%, the CAC 40 slipped -0.3%, and the EURO STOXX 600 edged 0.1%. ‎

Asian markets were mixed as South Korea outperformed on strong tech and semiconductor buying, while mainland ‎China lagged amid profit-taking and caution ahead of upcoming policy signals. Hong Kong saw selective interest in consumer ‎and technology shares, and Japan traded broadly steady as currency and bond-market moves kept activity contained. The ‎SHCOMP fell -0.4%, South Korea’s KOSPI gained 1.9%, the Nikkei 225 slightly increased, and the Hang Seng rose 0.2%.‎
