Markets across the Asia-Pacific rebounded today, with most major indices trading higher after several days of steep losses. South Korea’s Kospi led the gains, surging as much as 12% at one point — a sharp turnaround after suffering its worst session on record just a day earlier.

Overnight in the U.S., stocks also moved higher, extending the rebound from the previous session. The Dow rose 0.49%, the S&P 500 gained 0.78%, and the Nasdaq climbed 1.29%, while Bitcoin crossed $73,000 for the first time in nearly a month.
