Asian shares are mostly higher after Wall Street ended Friday with the best day for the stock market in over two months.

FILE - A person looks at an electronic stock board showing Japan's Nikkei 225 index at a securities firm in Tokyo, on April 16, 2024. Asian shares were mostly higher on Monday, May 6, 2024 after Wall Street ended last week with the stock market's best day in over two months in a rally backed by the cooler-than-expected U.S. employment data.

On Friday, the S&P 500 rose 1.3% to 5,127.79, its best day since late February. The benchmark index also erased its losses for the week. The modest increase in hiring last month suggests the Federal Reserve’s aggressive streak of rate hikes may be finally starting to take a bigger toll on the world’s largest economy. That may help reassure the Fed that inflation will ease further, which could move the central bank closer to lowering interest rates.
