Asian equities advanced on Tuesday as growing expectations of a December rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve lifted sentiment, while investors continued to rotate into global technology stocks despite mounting concerns of overheating in the sector.

Rate-cut bets strengthened after Fed Governor Christopher Waller signalled that current data still points to a sufficiently soft labor market, supporting the case for another 25 bps policy easing.

However, selective buying in IT names helped cap the losses.

Domestically, supportive macro indicators such as strong GDP growth, controlled inflation, steady oil prices and a healthy H2 earnings outlook continued to offer underlying stability.
