Summary
On February 15, 2025, Asian stocks rose significantly, mainly driven by a rally in Chinese technology firms amidst U.S. tariff threats. The Hang Seng Index spiked 3.69% while the Shanghai Composite gained 0.43%. Notably, tech giants Tencent and Xiaomi saw stock prices increase by 7%, and Alibaba and Meituan rose over 6%. Analysts attribute the optimism to renewed investor interest in AI technologies, following advancements by companies like DeepSeek and a focus on AI as a national priority in China. Despite some pressure on Japan's Nikkei 225 due to a stronger yen, overall market sentiment remains positive, reflecting a broader healthy trend in Asian equities.
