Asian Shares Mixed After Wall Street Gets a Lift From Hopes for a Fed Rate Cut
Asian indexes moved in different directions after a U.S. rally on Fed rate cut expectations, with a nearly 85% chance of cuts next month, traders said.
- On Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2025, Asian shares were mixed after U.S. stocks rallied on hopes the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates soon, with the U.S. rally beginning Monday.
- Traders are increasingly betting on a nearly 85% probability of a December rate cut, up from 71% last Friday, but some Federal Reserve officials oppose it due to inflation above their 2% target.
- Regional indexes showed mixed moves: Hang Seng rose 0.6% to 25,875.36, Shanghai Composite gained 1.1% to 3,880.22, Australia's S&P/ASX fell 0.2%, and Alibaba climbed 2.4% while Alphabet rallied 6.3%.
- U.S. futures edged lower while oil prices eased, with Brent crude at $62.39 and U.S. benchmark crude at $58.56 per barrel; the dollar fell to yen and the euro slipped to $1.1517 ahead of the U.S. market holiday Thursday and Black Friday/Cyber Monday.
- Sharp recent swings suggest Monday's gains follow uncertainty over Fed policy and worries about an AI-fueled bubble, with the S&P 500 within 2.7% of its record set last month.
