Asian stocks rebounded from their biggest drop since March as tensions in the Middle East eased and a selloff in artificial intelligence shares abated.
The Kospi Index, the world’s best-performing gauge this year on the back of AI trade, gained 4.4% and the Nikkei rose 0.9%. That sent the broader MSCI Asia Pacific Index higher by 0.9%, following three days of losses spurred by factors including bets for an interest-rate hike by the Federal Reserve.
