Coin News reports that according to ME News, on January 8 (UTC+8), Morningstar pointed out in its Q1 2026 outlook report that supported by reasonable valuations, Asian stock markets are expected to continue their upward trend in 2026. Analysts stated that although occasional pullbacks may occur, the possibility of sustained corrections appears unlikely. Global spending on artificial intelligence remains the core driver of profitability in the tech industry, and valuations of AI-beneficiary stocks generally remain attractive. Morningstar expects the Federal Reserve to lower the federal funds rate, which will drive down interest rates in Asian regions excluding Japan. Japan may experience gradual rate hikes. The report added that geopolitical tensions remain the main risk, and markets may experience sporadic volatility.
