Asia Pacific share sales broke through market volatility and shattered records in July, delivering the highest monthly equity capital‑market haul for the region yet.

Initial public offerings, placements and block trades raised $83 billion, marking a new peak for Asian firms despite weak regional equity markets.

South alert: SK Hynix Inc. topped the list with a $26.5 billion US listing – the largest foreign company debut on American exchanges. Meanwhile, mainland China’s CXMT Corp. completed its second‑largest IPO with a 66.6 billion yuan ($9.9 billion) debut.

The surge reflects growing investor appetite for AI‑related technology, and signals that Asia Pacific equities remain a compelling destination for global capital.
