UNITED STATES: Markets in the Asia-Pacific region surged in anticipation that Congress and US President Joe Biden would soon reach a compromise for increasing the country’s debt ceiling to avoid the country defaulting. In the months that will follow the pause in tightening monetary policy, Bank of America’s analysts predict cooling inflation and a mild recession.

The Nasdaq Composite had seen some of the world’s biggest boosts of 1.28% in three major indexes as stocks on Wall Street closed higher on Wednesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 1.24%, and the S&P 500 by 1.19%.

As investors decided to continue to handle Japan’s trade data for April imports, which dropped significantly more than initially expected while increasing the ability to see a two-year low on weaker China demand, the Nikkei 225 rose 1.6%, leading gains in the area and closing at 30,573.93; in the meantime, the Topix expanded 1.14% to close at 2,157.85.

The Kosdaq gained 0.2% to nearly 835.89 and the Kospi gained 0.83% to 2,515.4 in South Korea. As the country’s rate of unemployment came in at 3.7% in April, higher than the 3.5% expected by economists, stocks in Australia also increased, with the S&P/ASX 200 deteriorating by 0.52% and ending the day at 7,236.8.
