Asian stock markets poised for a positive start to the week

The stock markets in Asia are poised for a likely strong trading start, supported by upcoming critical central bank decisions in Japan, the USA, and the UK, as well as significant earnings reports from the technology sector. The dollar and yen are stable. Futures on stocks in Australia, Japan, and Hong Kong indicate early gains after U.S. stocks surged on Friday. Investors are betting that the Federal Reserve's forthcoming interest rate cuts will help U.S. companies achieve better earnings. U.S. stock futures also recorded gains in early Monday trading, while a Bloomberg index of dollar strength showed little change. Financial markets are focusing on the forthcoming central bank decisions, whose actions could provide significant momentum for the global economy. This could also benefit companies in Asia and further bolster positive sentiment.
