Asian shares slip after US stocks sink, Japan faces political uncertainty

Asian shares declined Wednesday, echoing a fall on Wall Street, as political uncertainty took centrestage in Japan, making for cautious trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 shed 0.2 per cent in morning trading to 42,222.36.

The political tremor is domestic, with Prime Minister Ishiba's key power broker signalling his resignation, shaking the foundations of the ruling party, said Stephen Innes, managing partner at SPI Asset Management.

GST Council meeting, macroeconomic data likely to drive markets this week

Equity markets this week would keenly track the upcoming GST Council meeting, macroeconomic data announcements and trading activity of foreign investors for further movement, analysts said. Moreover, developments related to tariff negotiations, global market trends and auto sales data would also drive investors' sentiment. "Looking ahead, India's resilience, supported by strong Q1 GDP print driven by government spending and policy measures, may provide a buffer against external headwinds, though fiscal concerns remain. A resolution of tariff disputes could act as a key catalyst for market sentiment," Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Ltd, said. India's economy grew by a stronger-than-expected 7.8 per cent in April-June, its fastest pace in five quarters, before US President Donald Trump imposed tariffs that now cloud the outlook, threatening key exports like textiles. "This week will be event-heavy, marking the start of a new month with several high-frequency indicat
