<h1>Asian markets rise as U.S. jobs data and executive order on U.S.-Japan auto tariffs reshape rate and trade outlook</h1> Asian markets rose after U.S. equity benchmarks hit records, reflecting investor expectations that weaker labor reports could prompt the central bank to cut interest rates. A presidential executive order implemented a recently negotiated U.S.-Japan trade agreement, lowering tariffs on Japanese vehicle imports. Treasury yields fell and futures strengthened ahead of a comprehensive U.S. Labor Department jobs report that may influence monetary policy. Market movements also reflected mixed regional economic data showing modest wage and household spending growth. Commodity prices edged lower. Regulatory and policy implications include tariff changes under the executive action and potential Federal Reserve rate adjustments contingent on the upcoming employment data.
