Asia stocks snap back as AI-linked shares rebound; RBA hike and India tariff deal steady nerves

Asia stocks snap back as AI-linked shares rebound; RBA hike and India tariff deal steady nerves

Asian stocks bounced back Tuesday following last week’s sell-off in precious metals. Japan’s Nikkei surged 4%, while South Korea’s KOSPI gained 5%. Gold rallied roughly 3% to $4,820 an ounce, and silver jumped 5%, shaking off Monday’s dips. The rebound follows a steep 5.6% dive in the KOSPI just a day earlier, which triggered a program-trading halt—a measure that stops some automated trades during sharp futures moves. Concerns over Kevin Warsh’s nomination to head the Federal Reserve added to the unease, compounded by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s remarks that a planned $100 billion investment in OpenAI was “never a commitment.”

  • Rolls-Royce Flags Defence Spending Tailwind, Bombardier Tie-Up and Board Changes
    July 3, 2026, 9:31 PM EDT. Rolls-Royce Holdings (LSE:RR.) is set to benefit from a boost in UK government defence spending, with focus on advanced warfare and propulsion tech. The company points to upside for its defence engines and support projects. Rolls-Royce struck a deal with Bombardier to step up aircraft engine monitoring. The board is bringing in new non-executive directors to strengthen governance. The stock is up 25.7% for the year, sitting 5.1% above analysts' targets and running 58.7% above estimated fair value, making valuation look stretched. Forecasts point to earnings dropping by 3.1% a year over the next three years, putting sustainability of recent gains in question. Investors are watching how defence contracts, the Bombardier partnership, and board moves will hit revenue, margins, and cash flow.
