Upbeat Italian News Sends European Markets Higher

It was a mostly positive session for Asian stock markets, as traders looked past uncertainty on global trade and tense geopolitical conditions. Tech stocks were a major reason the region’s equity benchmarks were able to overcome the headwinds, and the financial sector was another bright spot. As such, Japan's Nikkei notched a 0.5% gain, and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng closed up 0.3%. South Korea’s Kospi had an even bigger day, adding 0.8%. The sole decliner was China’s Shanghai Composite, closing down 0.5%.

Stocks are also pacing for a winning day in Europe. Upbeat news out of Italy could have sparked the buying mentality, with reports indicating the country’s economic minister confirmed a commitment to the euro. Bank stocks throughout the eurozone are thus some of the best performers. Another name in focus is Germany-based Mercedes parent Daimler AG, with the shares down 2% after the company was accused of using improper technology to cheat emission standards. On the data front, investors digested a bigger-than-expected decline in factory output in the U.K. for April. Still, London’s FTSE 100 is up 0.7% at last check, while France’s CAC 40 and Germany’s DAX are both sporting 0.1% leads.
