Asian equity markets posted broad gains on Monday, July 6, as investor sentiment improved across the region.

The rally was anchored by a sharp rebound in South Korea, where the Kospi index climbed 2.9%, while Japan's Nikkei 225 index advanced 0.2%.

The MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose 0.3%, reflecting a wider regional recovery.

The positive momentum in equities coincided with a pullback in crude oil prices.

Lower energy costs provided a tailwind for regional economies, reducing input cost pressures and supporting consumer sentiment.

The retreat in oil prices helped offset lingering concerns about global growth, allowing risk assets to regain footing.
