With Citigroup Inc. Chief Executive Officer Jane Fraser adding the title of chair this week, it's the first time during the modern US financial landscape that the CEOs of all the biggest banks also si
Asian shares skidded Friday following a retreat on Wall Street driven by concerns over banks' loan portfolios. US futures and oil prices also fell, while the price of gold climbed to over $4,383 an ounce as Washington and Beijing swapped harsh words over trade. Japan's Nikkei 225 fell 1.3% to 47,646.31, tracking US losses. Uncertainty over the choice of a new prime minister has also weighed on investor sentiment. Conservative lawmaker Sanae Takaichi was elected to head the ruling Liberal Democratic Party but last week's collapse of its coalition with the Buddhist-backed Komeito cast doubt over whether she would garner enough support in the lower house of parliament to prevail in a vote expected next week. Takaichi has led efforts to form a new alliance with the Osaka-based Japan Innovation Party, which would improve her chances of becoming Japan's first female prime minister.

SINGAPORE (Reuters) -Asian stocks limped towards the end of the week on a shaky footing on Friday as declines on Wall Street lingered into early trading, while commodity markets took a breather after their recent charge higher. Regional markets remain on track for one of their best years in a decade, firmly outstripping gains for U.S. counterparts as President Donald Trump's package of economic policies and tariffs prompts a surge of orders across the region to meet booming demand for AI-linked technology hardware. The U.S. trading session marked the point where a number of "well-subscribed, high-momentum trades" including gold, silver, crypto, and much of the S&P 500 "finally showed signs of exhaustion," said Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone Group Ltd in Melbourne.

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 fate of Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has been uncertain for weeks, with calls growing both for him to resign and to remain, after a recent election defeat and the rise of fringe parties have shaken public faith in the ruling Liberal Democratic Party. Confidence was rocked further by a recent comment from Ishiba's ally, Hiroshi Moriyama, who said he was stepping down as party secretary general. 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.
