  • Investing.com-- Most Asian stocks jumped on Thursday led by a surge in Hong Kong shares, as President Donald Trump's delay of 25% auto tariffs on Mexico and Canada eased immediate trade war fears, while optimism was further boosted by China's new stimulus measures.

The article from Investing.com discusses the positive reaction of Asian stock markets to U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to delay imposing tariffs on auto imports, which alleviated fears of a trade war escalation. This news, coupled with expectations of further economic stimulus from China, led to a significant surge in Hong Kong shares. Specifically, the Hang Seng Index saw substantial gains, driven by sectors like technology and real estate. Additionally, the broader market sentiment was buoyed by these developments, with other Asian indices like the Nikkei 225 in Japan and the Kospi in South Korea also experiencing notable increases.
