Asia stocks roar back as Taiwan jumps 6%, Nvidia probe rattles AI trade

Asian stocks experienced a notable rebound on Monday, with the MSCI Asia Pacific index climbing 2.3%. Japan’s Nikkei 225 and South Korea’s KOSPI both rose by 3.5% and 1.6%, respectively. Taiwan's Taiex saw its biggest advance since July, jumping as much as 6.4%, while the TOPIX gained 3.4%. The market rally was fueled by concerns over an investigation involving Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and reassessments of the outlook for the artificial intelligence trade.

Taiwan's market regulator and finance ministry announced measures to restore investor confidence, including cutting the permitted volume of intraday short-selling orders and raising the minimum margin requirement for short-selling.
