<h1>Global equities climb as tech gains and softer dollar fuel Fed rate cut hopes despite Chinese market and regulation worries</h1> Global equity markets largely rose after gains in major technology stocks steadied U.S. markets and a softer dollar boosted Asian assets, though Chinese mainland and Hong Kong indices fell amid regulatory intervention concerns. A leading tech firm's strong antitrust outcome supported the rally. Weaker U.S. labor data eased bond yields and increased market expectations of an imminent Federal Reserve rate cut, with attendant legal and policy risks tied to potential inflation and tariff-driven price pressures. Market volatility also reflected sovereign debt repayment worries and possible tighter Chinese financial regulation.
