On Thursday, Asian shares experienced gains, mirroring a Wall Street rally propelled by Nvidia. The positive movement in Asian markets occurred on February 19, 2026, as indicated by images from the Hana Bank headquarters in Seoul, South Korea. However, U.S. futures showed a slight decline. Oil prices increased amid media reports suggesting a heightened possibility of conflict with Iran. The rise in Asian markets is attributed to the strong performance of Nvidia, a major player in the technology sector, which boosted investor confidence.
