Yen Dip Fuels Asian Market as Japan's Ruling Party Loses Majority

Associated Press  

Japan's ruling party loses majority in Parliament's lower house, leading to a rise in Asian shares. The yen dips in the midst of political uncertainty, benefiting Japanese exporters like Toyota and Nintendo.

Company earnings reports are mostly positive, with most companies beating analysts' forecasts. The Federal Reserve raises its benchmark interest rate to its highest level in two decades, while Russia raises its key interest rate to a record-high level to combat inflation.
