Investor sentiment improves despite Fed's rate hike pause and market fluctuations.

Asia markets rose as investors digested the Fed's decision to pause on interest rate hikes, with Japan's exports beating expectations and oil prices inching up following the IEA's forecast of global oil demand growth peaking before the end of the decade. However, US stocks dropped after the Fed indicated that more interest rate hikes will be coming. Meanwhile, analysts are divided on whether Apple's Vision Pro or Meta's Quest will dominate the future of VR tech.
