What happened
Asian markets are increasingly recognized as a vital equities trading hub due to intense international interest in local AI firms. Strategic benchmarking firm BCG Expand estimates that equities trading revenues in Asia Pacific are projected to reach $33bn this year, up from 21% of global equities revenues in 2024. This trend follows a period where Asian markets were seen as a deliberate allocation for investors seeking value outside of the unpredictable US rate cycle.

Why it matters
The rise in Asian equities is fueled by powerful surges in AI-related equities, with benchmarks in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan showing double-digit gains during the second quarter of 2026. This shift indicates a growing investor confidence in the region's technology sector and its capacity to drive global market growth.
