Asian shares climb as tech rebound holds; oil slips
Asian equities firmed as tech extended its rebound, led by South Korea's KOSPI on semiconductor pricing and earnings catalysts: Samsung considering ~20% DRAM price hikes, SK Hynix's $29B ADR listing, and Hon Hai's strong AI-driven sales. This reinforces confidence that AI infrastructure spend is translating into chipmaker profitability, supporting global tech-heavy indices ahead of Q2 earnings, while softer oil prices modestly ease inflation risk.
