Asian markets traded within a narrow range on Tuesday as uncertainty looms over President Trump’s critiques of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and ongoing U.S.-China tariff tensions. Although U.S. futures have shown a slight recovery, regional equities continue to lack strong conviction.

Market highlights include:

• U.S. Futures: S&P 500 Futures up by 0.6%
• Japan: Nikkei 225 down 0.1%; TOPIX remains flat
• China: Shanghai Composite remains flat, CSI 300 up 0.1%
• Australia: ASX 200 flat; South Korea’s KOSPI up 0.2%

Investors remain focused on upcoming corporate earnings, particularly from key players like Tesla and tech stocks, alongside regional economic data to assess risks moving forward.
