S&P futures are pointing to a slightly higher open. Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan all saw solid gains led by tech recoveries, while Australia's ASX outperformed on the back of strong corporate updates. Semiconductor stocks remained under pressure, driven by Monday's selloff in the SOX index. China recovered slightly despite uncertainty arising from reports of tariff increase on Chinese import goods. European markets are reacting to upgraded GDP figures out of Germany while shrugging off ongoing global trade disputes and AI sector volatility.
