Asian markets ended mostly higher on Tuesday

South Korea's KOSPI advanced the most among Asian indices

Asian markets ended mostly higher on Tuesday tracking broadly positive cues from Wall Street overnight. Further, investors were optimistic as the crude oil rates stabilized with the easing supply concerns after Tehran allowed a limited number of vessels from India, Pakistan, and Turkey to navigate the Strait of Hormuz. Besides, rebound in AI-related technology and automobile sector stocks kept the market sentiment upbeat. South Korea's KOSPI advanced the most among Asian indices, marking gains for the second straight session.
