Asian shares moved higher on Monday, with technology stocks helping lift regional benchmarks as investors looked ahead to the Federal Reserve’s upcoming interest-rate decision.

The gains were modest, reflecting cautious trading rather than a broad risk-on move. Markets across the region were largely positioning for signals from U.S. policymakers, who are expected to provide more clarity on the outlook for borrowing costs and the pace of future cuts or hikes.

Technology names were among the main support for the session, extending a pattern that has often driven market momentum in Asia. Still, traders remained wary of making aggressive bets before the Fed announcement, which could reshape expectations across currencies, equities, and bond markets.

With the policy meeting approaching, investors are watching for any change in tone from the central bank that could influence global sentiment. For now, the market picture in Asia is one of cautious optimism, with participants staying selective while waiting for the next major signal from Washington.
