Most Asian shares were trading higher, taking cues from Wall Street's rally overnight. Investors cheered a batch of upbeat US economic reports and corporate earnings that comfortably beat expectations.
In Japan, inflation showed some signs of cooling. Core inflation for June eased to 3.3%, down from Mays 29-month high of 3.7%, with rice prices showing signs of moderation. Headline inflation also slipped to 3.3%, from 3.5% the previous month. However, the "core-core" inflation gauge, closely tracked by the Bank of Japan, as it strips out both food and energy, edged up to 3.4%, hinting that underlying price pressures are still in play.
Over on Wall Street, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed at record highs on Thursday. Strong earnings and resilient consumer spending drove the rally. The Dow Jones rose 0.52%, while the S&P 500 climbed 0.54%, and the Nasdaq jumped 0.74%.

Taiwanese chip giant TSMC stole the spotlight with stellar earnings and a bullish outlook on AI-related demand. Its US-listed shares surged 3.4%, igniting gains across the semiconductor and tech sectors.
Adding to the momentum, US retail sales rebounded strongly in June after two months of decline. Sales rose 0.6% month-on-month, reversing a 0.9% dip in May, thanks to increased auto purchases and a still-healthy consumer.

54 containers carrying parts for Goregaon Mulund Link Road arrive from Japan
The ambitious Rs 6,500 crore Goregaon Mulund Link Road (GMLR) is set to witness a key threshold as at least 54 trailers comprising parts of the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM), which will bore the Goregaon-Mulund Link Road (GMLR) project's twin tunnels, have arrived from Japan into Mumbai. With the final consignment of the first TBM slated to arrive by next month the work on the tunnel with a diameter of 14.5 metre will begin. GMLR's twin TBM tunnels will be amongst the widest road tunnel projects undertaken by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). Pegged at a cost of nearly Rs. 6500 crore, the GMLR is an ambitious project which aims to alleviate congestion by linking Goregaon in the western suburbs to Mulund in the eastern suburbs. A crucial part of the GMLR project are the 6.65-km long twin tunnels which will start from Film City in the western suburbs and open near Mulund's Amar Junction, which currently houses a huge slum pocket. The GMLR tunnels will surpass the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP), covering a complex topography of hillocks, forest and farmlands. The twin tunnels will be built using two TBM machines, which will commence boring from the launching shaft in Film City. Abhijit Bangar, Additional Municipal Commissioner (Projects) confirmed with The Indian Express that trailers containing parts of the first TBM machine started arriving from Japan in late March, this year. 'A total of 77 containers carrying parts of the first TBM machine will be arriving in the city. We received the first consignment on March 25. As many as 54 containers have already arrived and the balance of 23 containers will be received in the coming month,' said Bangar. According to officials, the remaining parts of the TBM machine are expected to arrive by August 15. Arriving from Japan, the containers are being unloaded at the JNPT port from where the consignments are being ferried in trailers up to the worksite. The parts of the first TBM will be assembled over a period of four months, after all the containers are received. Gearing up for the process, the civic body is currently undertaking piling works at the Goregaon work site at the launch shaft where the TBM tunnels will be lowered. Meanwhile, the consignments on the second TBM machine is slated to arrive in the city from December 2025. Raking beneath the SNGP, the TBMs are slated to dig a 5.30-kilometre tunnel before finally achieving its breakthrough at Mulund's Amar Nagar Junction, where the other end of the tunnel is proposed to open. Of the total 6.65-km tunnel length, nearly 1.35 km will be made up the approach roads and the box-tunnel, while nearly 5.30 km will comprise the portion dug by the tunnel boring machine.

Govt aiming to take number of 'Lakhpati Didis' to 20 mn by Aug 15: Chouhan
Union Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Saturday said 1.5 crore women have already become Lakhpati Didis in India and his ministry is aiming to take the figure to 20 million by August 15. 'Lakhpati Didi' refers to a woman member of a Self-Help Group (SHG) who earns an income of Rs 1 lakh or more per year. Chouhan visited the Indian Council of Agricultural Research - Directorate of Groundnut Research in Junagadh town of Gujarat, where he reviewed its activities and interacted with farmers and Lakhpati Didis of SHGs, the Press Information Bureau (PIB) said in a release. In his address, Chouhan said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken a resolve to make every woman a Lakhpati Didi. "Why should any woman remain poor? This campaign is being run across India. Till now, 1.5 crore women have already become Lakhpati Didis and my department is constantly taking steps to make 20 million women Lakhpati Didis by August 15," he said. In Junagadh, there are women who are already earning more than Rs 10 lakh per year, he said. "Women living in rural areas have proven that they can do wonders if they are provided with some opportunity, training and bank linkage. These women are the true torchbearers of 'Vocal for Local'. I am confident that these women will build a Viksit Bharat as envisioned by PM Modi," said the minister, who also handles the Rural Development portfolio. Chouhan lauded women for their contribution. "Keep pushing forward with courage. PM Modi himself stands with you to ensure all possible support. Plans are underway to increase women's participation in the industrial sector. The hard work of women will help build a Viksit Bharat as envisioned by the PM," he said. Stating that agriculture is still the backbone of Indian economy and for him, the Union minister said serving farmers is equal to worshipping God. "I don't just sit at my Delhi office. Instead, I visit agricultural fields, interact with farmers and try to provide a solution to their problems. Our PM also gives highest priority to agriculture," he said in his address. Earlier during the day, Chouhan offered prayers at the famous Somnath temple in Gir Somnath district and then visited Devaliya Safari Park near Gir National Park at Sasan.
