Yen Strengthens Second Day as Asia Tech Stocks Rebound

The yen appreciated for a second consecutive session while Asian equities showed mixed performance: MSCI Asia Pacific rose 0.2%, South Korea's Kospi gained 1.1%, and Japan's Topix fell 0.4%. The move suggests a modest risk-on tilt in the region, though the yen's strength may reflect safe-haven flows or positioning rather than a broad shift.
