  "account": "Asian shares mirrored the gains of Wall Street on Tuesday, while U.S. Treasury yields remained elevated. The MSCI's Asia-Pacific index outside Japan increased by 0.2%, and Japan's Nikkei gained 0.7%. In Sydney, Asian stocks rose following a technology-driven rally on the Nasdaq, which reached a record high. This rally was supported by a decline in oil prices. Meanwhile, the euro hovered near its 17-month low due to growing fiscal concerns in France and the uncertainty caused by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's call for early elections. The euro slipped to US$1.1215, down from its overnight peak of US$1.116. European stock futures rose 0.5%, while the Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures edged up 0.2% and 0.1%, respectively. The tech sector once again drove the market higher, with Nvidia's stock reaching a new all-time high and its market value surpassing US$5.76 trillion. Earnings from AI companies were a major contributor to the market's surge, according to senior analyst Kyle Rodda of Capital.com. The third-quarter earnings season began the following week, with Goldman Sachs predicting a 27% increase in S&P 500 earnings for the quarter, with more than half of the growth originating from AI-infrastructure-focused companies. Latin American markets also climbed, led by Brazilian stocks and the Brazilian real, after the right-wing Senator Flavio Bolsonaro outperformed expectations in the first round of the presidential election and advanced to a runoff against incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Despite the market's optimism, the relentless rise in U.S. Treasury yields continued, with the 10-year yield hitting a 24-year high and the 30-year yield remaining near its highest level in over two decades. This trend was fueled by inflation concerns and rising debt levels. The selloff in French bonds slightly eased, with the premium investors demanded for holding French 10-year bonds over safer German debt narrowing to 137 basis points. The euro's decline kept the U.S. dollar firm, with the dollar index increasing by 0.9% to 102.2. Spot gold remained stable at US$4,141.31 per ounce.",
  "summary": "A retreat in oil prices offered further support as exports from the Middle East increased and G7 nations pledged to boost supplies.",
