Asian markets hit intraday records before closing lower as oil and Hormuz risks cooled sentiment

📉 Asian equities opened strong on the back of Wall Street’s rally, but profit-taking emerged quickly and pushed several major indexes into the red by the close. The Nikkei briefly broke above 60,000 for the first time before ending down about 1.15%, while the KOSPI lost 1.5% and the Hang Seng also fell more than 1%.

🏭 What stood out was that the regional macro backdrop was not weak. Japan’s manufacturing PMI posted its strongest expansion in four years, while South Korea’s first-quarter GDP rose 1.7%, well above market expectations, showing that the early-session rally was still supported by solid economic and tech momentum.

🛢️ The reversal was driven mainly by oil and geopolitics. Brent moved back toward $103 per barrel as U.S.-Iran talks showed no clear progress and shipping disruptions in Hormuz continued, shifting market sentiment from optimism to caution, especially across import-dependent Asian markets.

Asian exposure is waking up for $EWY 🌊

Liquidity is quietly building around the base, and that usually means larger players are probing for supply before they commit. If the global economy keeps healing, this setup has the kind of mid-term breakout profile that can catch the market off guard.

Not financial advice. Manage your risk and protect your capital.

MARKETS ON EDGE AHEAD OF CRUCIAL WEEK — ASIAN SHARES SLIP, DOLLAR GAINS

Asian equities took a breather on Friday, retreating from recent highs as traders locked in profits before a week packed with critical events — including U.S. tariff deadlines and central bank decisions across the U.S., Japan, and Europe.

Tokyo led the regional pullback:
• Topix slid 0.7% after a record-breaking 5% rally.
• Nikkei 225 dipped 0.5%, pulling back from its one-year high.
• Hang Seng and ASX 200 also shed 0.5%, while China’s CSI 300 eased 0.2%.

In currencies, the U.S. dollar rebounded sharply, buoyed by strong economic data, gaining against the yen as reports swirled that Japan’s PM Ishiba might resign.
• USD/JPY climbed to 147.37, extending Thursday’s 0.4% rally.
• EUR/USD dropped to 1.1743, reflecting post-ECB caution.

Meanwhile, U.S. futures ticked higher, with S&P 500 futures up 0.2%, following record closes for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, powered by Alphabet’s earnings beat. The MSCI World Index dipped 0.1%, but is still tracking a 1.3% weekly gain thanks to optimism around U.S. trade diplomacy.

Looking Ahead:
All eyes are on President Trump’s August 1 tariff deadline, the Fed’s rate decision, and major earnings from Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and Meta. On Thursday, the Bank of Japan will deliver its policy update, while Japan’s ruling party meets amid political turbulence.

In Europe, the ECB held rates steady, opting to assess trade risks before any further moves. Meanwhile, U.S. bond yields slipped, with 10-year Treasuries at 4.39%. Japan’s bond yield edged down to 1.595%, still near 2008 highs.

Volatility is brewing — brace for impact.

Markets Likely to Rebound as US Government Shutdown Nears End

On November 10, 2025, a market analysis report highlighted optimism in global markets, largely driven by expectations that the US government shutdown could soon end. The Federal Reserve and several sectors had been affected by the shutdown, and now a clear path forward seems possible. (reuters.com)

Market reactions were notable: Nasdaq Futures rose 1.2% and S&P 500 Futures increased by 0.7%, while European futures also opened positively. (reuters.com)

The US Senate made progress on Monday in passing a bill to fund the government through January 30, including three full budget bills. This development fueled expectations that the shutdown could end within days. (reuters.com)

The shutdown had put clear pressure on the US economy: airports, law enforcement agencies, and military personnel were working without pay, and the Federal Reserve faced challenges in accessing key economic data. (reuters.com)

Meanwhile, Asian markets showed mixed responses: China’s CSI 300 Index fell 0.24%, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index gained 0.6%. (reuters.com)

Additionally, minutes from the Bank of Japan’s policy meeting were released, highlighting discussions on potential interest rate hikes—an important factor for global investors. (reuters.com)

Overall, the analysis suggests that global financial markets view the potential end of the US government shutdown positively, which may ease some pressures. However, economic and policy concerns remain in various regions.

The movement took the market by surprise and once again showed how Bitcoin reacts quickly to global cycles. The leap driven by the Japanese economic scenario has triggered a green light for traders seeking smart volatility and short-term opportunities.

With Asian liquidity gaining strength and BTC approaching critical decision zones, the market enters "maximum alert" mode. Every candle now matters, whether to capture the next leg up towards 90k or to position cautiously against macro variations.

The game has changed in Japan… and the impact is reverberating around the world. Those who are attentive are profiting. Those who are sleeping… are missing the show. 🚀🔥

Bitcoin is holding near $90K as year-end liquidity thins out, leaving the market vulnerable to sharp but short-lived swings. With perp open interest in BTC and ETH nearly halved since October, the market simply doesn't have the depth to absorb big directional flows.

This week's 25 bp Fed cut is already priced in by traders, but the expectations now point towards a shallow easing path, which means it will not be the cut that is the real market mover, but Powell's guidance.

We are also witnessing a divergence in global policy:
• ECB stays firm
• BOE still divided
• BOJ preparing its first meaningful tightening in years

• Asian economies facing growing macro friction

As put by OKX Singapore's CEO, Gracie Lin, the recent flush of leverage actually cleaned up market structure, removing overcrowded trades and giving BTC room to test the $91K zone when macro signals allow.
Market Snapshot:
• BTC: Drifts back towards 90K after U.S. session sell pressure.
• ETH: Minor pullback but still outperforming BTC on relative strength.

• Gold: Small decline before the Fed.
• Nikkei 225: Lower, tracking Asia following Wall Street softness.

Elsewhere in Crypto:

• Canadian tax authority flags 40% of domestic crypto users for potential evasion risk. • Ondo Finance said that the Biden-era probe by the SEC has been closed without charges. For the week ahead, direction will depend far more on Fed guidance and global policy divergence than on any move already priced in to rates. #Bitcoin #CryptoMarkets #AsiaMarkets #ETH $BTC

​Granite Support: Over 72k $0G are standing tall to defend the 0.65 level. This is the "Whale Wall" keeping the bears away.

​Pre-Fed Calm: Low volume and a flat MACD: the West is holding its breath before the sprint toward 0.72.

​Market Sentiment: With US Inflation cooling down to 2.4%, if tonight’s 8:00 PM (CET) minutes confirm a dovish Fed, sell walls will crumble under Wall Street's buying pressure.

​The East has already lit the fuse. Will the West provide the final push? Don't wait until the lava is already out. The moment to position yourself is now! 🌋📈

Thailand is one of Asia’s key gold-trading hubs. Any tax or restriction could affect regional gold flows, currency stability, and investor behavior.
