iSAM Securities Apex Integrates with CMC Markets to Expand Low-Latency Liquidity Access for Brokers

Risk sentiment is stabilising after Monday’s sharp AI-led selloff. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index climbed 2.5%, led by South Korea’s Kospi, which surged 8.5%. The recovery followed gains on Wall Street, where the Nasdaq 100 and chip stocks bounced, while US futures point to further upside.

USD/JPY remains one of the key focal points across FX markets as the pair continues to trade near the psychologically important 160.00 level. Investors remain alert to the possibility of official Japanese intervention should the pair break higher, while expectations for further Bank of Japan policy normalisation continue to build.

Markets remained cautious as geopolitical tensions, elevated oil prices, and rising bond yields kept inflation concerns in focus, while hopes of regional de-escalation provided some support to risk sentiment.
