Asian shares are mostly higher after Wall Street rally caps a dismal week
SUMMARY: Asian shares mostly rose on Monday following a U.S. stock rally, despite the S&P 500 ending down 2% for the week. U.S. lawmakers passed a budget deal, preventing a government shutdown. Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 climbed 0.9% while Honda and Nissan’s potential merger created market fluctuations. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng and Australia’s S&P/ASX 500 also saw gains. In the U.S., Friday’s gains were driven by positive inflation data, though concerns about fewer interest rate cuts next year lingered.
