Asian markets settled mostly higher on Monday after the US and EU reached a tariff deal including a 15% tariff on EU goods, down from the 30% originally proposed, while the US and China expected to extend tariff truce by 3 months at trade talks in Stockholm. Market sentiments improved further as the US prepared for an especially busy week that will bring earnings from several major tech companies, a key Federal Reserve meeting, President Donald Trump’s August 1 tariff deadline and key data releases. However, Japanese shares declined sharply due to profit taking ahead of the Bank of Japan's rate decision on Thursday for hints about the near-term rate outlook.
