Asian stock markets traded mostly higher on Tuesday after the Bank of Japan (BoJ) decided to keep its ultra-loose monetary policy unchanged, maintaining interest rates at current levels.

The BoJ’s decision was widely expected by markets, as policymakers continue to balance rising inflation pressures with the need to support economic growth. Japan’s benchmark indices gained modestly, supported by a weaker yen and optimism around export-oriented stocks.

Across the region, Asian equities found support as investors assessed global cues, stable U.S. market performance, and easing volatility in bond yields. Markets in China, South Korea, and Southeast Asia also showed positive momentum, while gains were capped by lingering concerns over global growth and upcoming central bank decisions.

Investors are now closely watching economic data releases and future signals from major central banks to gauge the next direction for regional markets.
