World shares mostly edged higher on Tuesday, with investor sentiment improving after recent pressure on technology stocks tied to the artificial intelligence trade. U.S. futures also advanced, signaling a steadier start for Wall Street after the latest bout of market volatility.
In Asia, South Korea and Japan recovered part of their recent losses. The rebound was led by technology shares, which had been hit hard during the earlier sell-off in AI-related stocks. South Korea’s benchmark Kospi posted a strong gain, reflecting renewed buying interest in major tech names.
The move higher suggests markets are trying to stabilize after sharp swings linked to expectations for artificial intelligence growth and valuations in the sector. When heavily traded AI-linked companies fall quickly, the selling can spread across broader regional indexes, especially in export-driven markets with large technology components.
While the latest gains point to a calmer tone, investors remain focused on whether the recovery in tech stocks can continue. For now, markets in South Korea and Japan appear to be regaining some ground, helping lift broader global share performance.
