Asian Stocks Rise as Tech Shares Track Nvidia Rally, Japan's BOJ Signals Less Hawkish Stance

Investing.com-- Most Asian stocks rose on Thursday with technology shares tracking an overnight rally in market darling Nvidia, while Japanese markets soared as a soft reading on producer inflation undermined hawkish signals from the Bank of Japan. The BOJ's recent comments about potential rate hikes were somewhat overshadowed by the softer-than-expected inflation data, providing a more sobering outlook on interest rate cuts.

Markets were seen positioning for a 25 basis point rate cut by the BOJ in the near future. The reading somewhat undermined recent comments from BOJ officials that interest rates will need to rise further, especially given that any further rate hikes by the BOJ are largely contingent on inflation moving higher., with analysts uncertain over whether the central bank will hike interest rates again.

Sentiment towards China was battered by reports of U.S. lawmakers preparing more trade restrictions on the country
