  • Tech stocks in Asia advanced after yesterday positive session on Wall Street ahead of Nvidia’s earnings, as investors awaited the company’s outlook on chip demand to gauge if the global rally since April can continue. Nvidia will report earnings after the US market close; the stock is near to the ATH

  • AI remained in focus, with China’s Cambricon surging up to 8.2% to a record high on strong profits. Nikon shares jumped 21% after reports that EssilorLuxottica (Ray-Ban maker) may raise its stake.

  • US and European equity futures also moving slightly higher ahead of Nvidia’s report, however broader sentiments during the Asian session (ex-tech) were weaker; Chinese indices are sliding the most today

  • China’s industrial profit data showed a slower pace of decline in July, suggesting that measures against overcapacity may be easing pressures.
