Most Asian stock markets rose on Thursday, buoyed by the U.S.-Vietnam trade deal seen as a positive signal for the region ahead of the July 9 tariff deadline, while currencies held steady as traders awaited key U.S. developments.
U.S. President Donald Trump said he had sealed a trade deal with Vietnam, under which it would now be hit with a 20% tariff on exports, sharply down from 46% planned earlier.
