Asian shares rise, South Korea's Kospi jumps 6% after Wall Street gains

Asian shares advanced Thursday, tracking Wall Street gains, and South Korea's benchmark Kospi jumped more than 6 per cent. US futures edged higher after the Treasury Department said it would at least double the size of planned purchases of longer-term government debt. That could ease pressure on share prices emanating from the bond market since the purchases would push bond prices higher, helping to bring down yields. The Kospi surged 6.1 per cent to 6,858.91 after sinking 5.8 per cent on Wednesday on renewed selling of shares related to artificial intelligence. Samsung Electronics jumped 9.7 per cent, while memory chipmaker SK Hynix surged 14.1 per cent after the company announced a significant share buyback plan. Japan's Nikkei 225 gained 1.3 per cent to 66,178.26, reversing declines earlier in the week. Japan reported it logged a trade deficit for a third straight month in July, as both imports and exports hit record highs. Shares of OpenAI investor SoftBank Group, a Japanese

Geopolitical developments, crude prices likely to move markets this week

Trading activity in the stock market this week will depend on the developments surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, the USIran standoff and crude oil, analysts said. With the quarterly earnings season now over, investors would also monitor the trading activity of foreign investors, experts added. "Developments surrounding the Strait of Hormuz and the trajectory of Brent crude will remain critical market drivers in the near term. With the earnings season behind us, the coming week will be relatively data-light, with investors likely to focus on global monetary policy expectations, crude oil prices and geopolitical developments," Ajit Mishra SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd, said. Globally, the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) minutes will be closely watched for signals on the Federal Reserve's policy outlook. Any indication of a more hawkish stance could weigh on emerging-market flows and increase volatility in Indian equities, he added. "Investor attention in the coming week i

Sebi streamlines mkt intermediaries' inspection framework, cuts FY27 target

Markets regulator Sebi on Friday streamlined inspection of market intermediaries by mandating joint inspections by stock exchanges and depositories and reducing its inspection target for FY27 to about one-third of the previous year's level. The revamped inspection framework, which follows consultations with Market Infrastructure Institutions (MIIs) and the Supervisory Body for Investment Advisers (IAs) and Research Analysts (RAs), will be implemented from the financial year 2026-27.
