Asian shares rise after Trump says he discussed firing Fed Chair Powell

Asian shares were mostly higher Thursday while US futures slipped after President Donald Trump rocked Wall Street by saying he had talked about the concept of firing the head of the Federal Reserve, but was unlikely to do so. Removing Fed Chair Jerome Powell might help Wall Street get the lower interest rates investors love but would also risk a weakened Fed unable to make the unpopular moves needed to keep inflation under control.

Asian shares rally after Trump announces ceasefire between Israel, Iran

Stocks rallied Tuesday after US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire in the Israel-Iran conflict, although the situation remained unclear as attacks continued.

Uncertainty remained, with Israel not immediately confirming any ceasefire. It was unclear what the missile launches would do for the ceasefire's timeline.
