Market movements are being closely tied to anticipation over future U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate decisions and political developments involving former President Donald Trump.Major indices across Asia reported steady growth, driven by optimism in sectors such as technology and energy. The rise in the dollar reflects heightened expectations of a possible interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve as it continues to battle inflation.

Meanwhile, Trump’s ongoing legal and political headlines have added a layer of uncertainty to global markets, with investors monitoring potential economic implications. Analysts suggest that geopolitical stability and U.S. fiscal policy will remain key drivers in the coming days.

For now, markets appear cautiously optimistic, but volatility is expected as more economic data is released later this week.
