Asia Stocks Post Modest Gain, Weak Yen Fuels Japan Rally

Asian shares climbed to near a record, buoyed by optimism over earnings and regional economic growth as investors broadened their focus beyond US markets. Much of the early action was in Japan, where stock gauges jumped after returning from a holiday.

Asian Shares Rise on Valuations, UBS CEO Sergio Ermotti on China

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the US central bank had been served grand jury subpoenas from the Justice Department threatening a criminal indictment, a dramatic escalation of the Trump administration's attacks on the Fed. In a forceful written and video statement released Sunday evening, Powell said the action was related to his June congressional testimony on ongoing renovations of the Fed's headquarters. But he said the move "should be seen in the broader context of the administration's threats and ongoing pressure." For more on the broader market action and the moves in the Asia Pacific, we are joined by Lianting Tu, Bloomberg's Managing Editor for Asia Equities.
 
Plus - Speculation that Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi will call for a snap election continues to rise as the leader of a partner in her party's coalition cited a shift to "a new stage." The Yomiuri newspaper reported that Takaichi may call for a vote on Feb. 8 or Feb. 15, citing unidentified government officials, and other Japanese media have published similar reports.

Asian equities fell on Friday, led by technology shares, as investors braced for the US payrolls report and a possible Supreme Court ruling on President Donald Trump's tariffs.

For more on what's moving the markets, we turn to Winnie Hsu, Asia Equities Reporter in Hong Kong.
