Asian Stocks Rise Amid Tech Volatility; Oil Prices Drop 3.3%

Asian markets mostly gained Monday despite tech stock swings, while oil prices fell over 3%. U.S. futures showed slight gains after Wall Street's recent drop.

Asian stock markets saw mostly gains on Monday, even as technology shares remained unstable. This followed a significant sell-off in U.S. tech and artificial intelligence stocks last Friday.

Japan's Nikkei 225 index initially rose but then slipped 0.1%, giving up early gains. Other regional markets showed cautious optimism despite ongoing volatility.

Oil prices dropped more than 3%, reflecting uncertainty in global markets. This decline contrasts with the modest rise in U.S. futures after Wall Street experienced its worst day since June.

Investors appear cautious as they navigate fluctuating technology shares and broader market pressures, balancing optimism with risk management.
