Asian share markets experienced a rebound on Friday as oil prices cooled and robust earnings from technology companies, particularly Apple, drew investors back into the market. Apple's shares rose 2.7% following its strong earnings report, contributing to a broader tech rally that saw Caterpillar and Alphabet also exceed expectations. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq recorded impressive gains in April, with the S&P 500 up over 10% and Nasdaq surging 15%, marking its best performance since 2020. Japan's Nikkei index rose 16% for the month, while Taiwan and South Korea saw gains of 23% and 31%, respectively. However, concerns linger regarding energy prices, particularly with ongoing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran has threatened retaliation against U.S. positions. The intervention by Japanese authorities to stabilize the yen saw the dollar initially drop to a two-month low but later recover. Analysts suggest that further interventions may be necessary if the yen continues to weaken against the dollar.
