🌍 India / Asia Angle

Strong US enterprise software and fintech earnings (OpenText, BILL Holdings, EverCommerce) may lift sentiment for Indian IT and fintech peers. Axcelis semiconductor miss could weigh on Asian chipmaker supply-chain sentiment, relevant for Taiwan, South Korea, and Indian semiconductor plays.

▸Fintech sector (Block, Affirm, BILL Holdings) — broadly bullish; guidance raise from Block signals consumer credit resilience
▸Semiconductors — bearish pressure from Axcelis miss; may drag on equipment makers and Asian chip supply chains
▸AI/software sector — upward bias as Kodiak AI, EverCommerce, and OpenText beats reinforce enterprise AI spending cycle
