Börsen Asien: Asien-Börsen legen zu – Tech-Aktien profitieren

Asian stock markets rose on Monday, indicating an approach between the United States and China. Trading was quiet in Japan on a holiday. The Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shanghai and Shenzhen indices each increased by about half a percent. Hong Kong's exchange gained nearly the same amount, while South Korea's Kospi index climbed by around 1.5 percent.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met with Chinese Vice-Premier He Lifeng on Sunday to prepare for the upcoming US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping summit this week. The key topics include a ceasefire in the trade dispute, which ends on November 10th. However, analysts do not expect a breakthrough. Instead, both sides are expected to try to stabilize relations, according to analysts from Goldman Sachs.

"I think the best both sides can realistically expect is for the status quo to remain," said Anna Ashton, a China expert at the analysis firm Ashton Intelligence.
