Asia Mostly Higher Following Vietnam Deal

Asia Mostly Higher Following Vietnam Deal

Vietnamese stocks climbed to its highest in over three years as investors await details on the U.S.-Vietnam trade agreement that President Donald Trump announced Wednesday.

In Japan, the Nikkei 225 regained 23.42 points, or 0.1%, to 39,785.90.

In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng faltered 151.47 points, or 0.6%, to 24,069.94.

The U.S. is imposing a 20% tariff on goods imported from the Southeast Asian nation, while the latter will impose “ZERO Tariff,” Trump said on Truth Social. This comes as the deadline for Trump’s 90-day tariff reprieve draws closer.
