( MENAFN - AFP) Asian Stocks were mostly higher on Tuesday after a tech rally on Wall Street, but their gains remained modest in thin Christmas Eve trade. Overnight, European stocks bounced around while US equities shook off early weakness to push higher as investors waited to see if a so-called Santa Claus rally would materialise. US "stocks didn't really have any direction in the morning, then we got this tech rally that just sort of drifted higher all day," said Steve Sosnick of Interactive Brokers. Analysts said that could help boost semiconductor-related shares, including in Tokyo, although the key Nikkei index was down 0.3 percent at the break. Hong Kong was up 0.9 percent and Shanghai gained 0.5 percent. Taipei rose 0.8 percent and Wellington was up 0.7 percent, but Seoul declined 0.2 percent. Hang Seng Bank said in a note that Hong Kong stocks were "consolidating before the long holiday". It was among several exchanges, including Sydney, closing early on Tuesday. "This is the time of the year when there's a lot of noise and little to no signal in price action," said Kyle Rodda, senior market analyst at Capital.Com cited by Bloomberg News. "There's a high chance of a pretty slow day for the region and an uneventful rest of the week as a high proportion of the markets log off for the holidays." Despite the gains, Asian stocks faced downward pressure "as the Bank of Japan warned against foreign exchange speculation and Australia cut its iron ore price forecast, negatively impacting Japanese and Australian markets", Hang Seng Bank added. Honda shares soared 16 percent after the Japanese auto giant announced a buyback of up to 1.1 trillion yen ($7 billion), as it enters merger talks with struggling rival Nissan. The talks on collaboration between Honda and Nissan would create the world's third-largest automaker, expanding development of EVs and self-driving tech. Honda's CEO insisted it was not a bailout for Nissan, which announced thousands of job cuts last month and reported a 93 percent plunge in first-half net profit. - Key figures around 0200 GMT - Tokyo - Nikkei 225: DOWN 0.3 percent at 39,043.95 Hong Kong - Hang Seng Index: UP 0.9 percent at 20,062.57 Shanghai - Composite: UP 0.5 percent at 3,369.54 Euro/dollar: UP at $1.0438 from $1.0431 on Monday Pound/dollar: UP at $1.2581 from $1.2567 Dollar/yen: UP at 156.47 yen from 156.45 yen Euro/pound: DOWN at 82.95 pence from 82.98 pence West Texas Intermediate: UP 0.5 percent at $69.59 per barrel Brent North Sea Crude: UP 0.5 percent at $73.01 per barrel New York - Dow: UP 0.2 percent at 42,906.95 (close) London - FTSE 100: UP 0.2 percent at 8,102.72 (close) MENAFN23122024000143011026ID1109025631 Legal Disclaimer: MENAFN provides the information “as is” without warranty of any kind.

Former President Bill Clinton checked into a Washington, D.C., hospital Monday afternoon for "testing and observation after developing a fever," an aide said in a statement. "President Clinton was admitted to Georgetown University Medical Center this afternoon for testing and observation after developing a fever," Angel Ureña, Clinton's deputy chief of staff, wrote on X . "He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving." Clinton, 78, was also hospitalized in Southern California for an infection that reached his blood in 2021, but was released after six days. Clinton underwent a possibly lifesaving quadruple coronary bypass surgery in September 2004. In February 2010 , he was hospitalized to open a clogged heart artery after suffering chest pains. Two stents were placed inside the artery as part of a medical procedure that is common for people with severe heart disease. During the presidential campaign, he hit the trail on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris. Last month, he released his latest book , "Citizen: My Life After the White House," about his post-presidency. In it he reflects on the major events of the last two decades since he was president, including 9/11, the Iraq War, the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, the pandemic and the culture wars.
