  "account": "Asian markets experienced a surge on Tuesday as the anticipated initial public offering (IPO) of AI-focused company Anthropic sent a wave of optimism through the risk appetite. The tech-heavy KOSPI in South Korea rose by more than 4% in early trading, while Japan's Nikkei climbed by 1.9%. The Meta Platforms, a social media giant, announced plans to raise up to $95 billion in its largest-ever equity fundraising, further boosting sentiment. Meanwhile, central bank meetings in the coming days are expected to influence near-term interest rates, but economists are anticipating all three major banks to maintain current rates. Tech-heavy KOSPI gained more than 4% in early Asian trading, while Japan's Nikkei rose 1.9%. Broadly, MSCI's Asia-Pacific index outside Japan climbed 1.2%. Nasdaq futures saw a 0.4% increase after US chip stocks rose 2.8% overnight. However, European stock futures dipped by 0.23%. Over a third of S&P 500 companies are set to report earnings this week, including industry giants Alphabet, Microsoft, and Amazon.com. Despite heightened scrutiny of AI, investors require proof that demand extends beyond these interconnected relationships to validate ongoing infrastructure expansion, says Ameriprise's Anthony Saglimbene.",
