Asia Mixed: Nikkei Speeds Up, Kospi Green, HSI Wait & See

Asian stock markets moved mixed on Monday, November 3, 2025. Japan led the gains: the Nikkei 225 remained near its record high of around 52.4 thousand, helped by euphoria over technology stocks and domestic stimulus sentiment. Real-time LSEG data on Reuters marked a daily gain of more than 2% this session.

In South Korea, early sentiment was also positive. The Kospi opened up more than 1%, driven by defense and shipbuilding stocks, while Australia remained flat in early trading.

Hong Kong remained cautious; Hang Seng futures rose only slightly, as the market awaited new catalysts from China (including the PMI/manufacturing release). This "wait & see" stance limited the HSI's movement compared to the Nikkei and Kospi.

The energy sector added to sentiment after OPEC+ signaled a pause in production increases in the first quarter of 2026, while December's gains were still small. Brent oil held steady around $65, boosting energy-related stocks in the region. (asd)
