Asian markets rose on a tech-stock rally ahead of Tesla and Meta earnings
Asian bourses on October 21, 2026 showed gains led by Seoul and Tokyo: chipmaker stocks SK hynix, Samsung, Kioxia, Advantest and SoftBank rose 2–7% after several weeks of declines. Sentiment was supported by SpaceX's first quarterly report as a public company with a $4.4 billion profit, as well as preliminary results from Super Micro Computer. Investors await Tesla and Meta reports. Oil rose more than 1% after a report of an attack on a tanker off the coast of Qatar.
